Medically indigent women seeking abortion prior to legalization: New York City, 1969-1970.

If the efforts now underway to limit access to abortion services in the United States are successful, their greatest impact will be on women who lack the funds to obtain abortions elsewhere. There is little published information, however, about the experience of medically indigent women who sought abortions under the old, restrictive state laws. This article details the psychiatric evaluation of 199 women requesting a therapeutic abortion at a large municipal hospital in New York City under a restrictive abortion law. Thirty-nine percent had tried to abort the pregnancy. Fifty-seven percent had concrete evidence of serious psychiatric disorder. Forty-eight percent had been traumatized by severe family disruption, gross emotional deprivation or abuse during childhood. Seventy-nine percent lacked emotional support from the man responsible for the pregnancy, and the majority were experiencing overwhelming stress from the interplay of multiple problems exacerbated by their unwanted pregnancy.

[Laparoscopic sterilization using the tubal ring].

Interval ring laparoscopic sterilization, in line with law, was in the last four years performed in 103 women on the principles applied to other laparoscopic operations. There were ten immediate complications (7 technical and 3 surgical). One patient was subfebrile following surgery and one became pregnant a few months after sterilization.

Intrauterine devices.

Approximately 60 million women use the intrauterine device (IUD) worldwide; however, owing primarily to nonmedical reasons, the IUD is far less popular in the United States. Although the contraceptive mechanism of action is unknown, it appears that spermicidal activity may be important. Overall, the efficacy of the copper devices is quite good, such that the overall lifespan can probably be extended. Possible pelvic infection remains the greatest potential risk, although in properly selected women the risk is quite low. Use of prophylactic antibiotics at the time of insertion may offer additional protection against this risk. Although IUD users may have more nonspecific vaginal inflammation than do other women, the clinical significance is probably limited. Further, users do not appear to have elevated risks for cervical infections. Although menometrorrhagia persists as a potential problem, the mechanism for such bleeding is not well understood. Finally, the retroflexed uterine position does not appear to increase the risk of abnormal outcomes.

Efficacy and safety of ethynodiol diacetate, 1 mg, with ethinyl estradiol, 35 micrograms, with an emphasis on contraceptive efficacy. A phase IV trial.

A phase IV trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of a monophasic oral contraceptive formulation, ethynodiol diacetate, 1 mg, plus ethinyl estradiol, 35 micrograms (EDA 1 mg with EE 35 micrograms) (Demulen 1/35). Nine hundred eighty-three community-based obstetrician-gynecologists treated a total of 7,759 patients with EDA 1 mg with EE 35 micrograms for one to eight months. Clinical evaluation forms on 6,382 patients were amenable to analysis for safety (including breakthrough bleeding, ovarian cyst formation and complexion changes); 5,412 patients were evaluable for efficacy (prevention of pregnancy), with a total of 21,440 cycles recorded. The study results were interpreted in terms of the impact on clinical management of oral contraceptive users and the methods, strengths and weaknesses of phase IV trials, particularly as they relate to confirmation of the results reported here.

[Characterization of birth populations in 2 Norwegian counties, Akershus and Hordaland. A part of a study on smoking habits, alcohol drinking and drug utilization among pregnant women].

Norway participated in an international multicenter study on drug use, smoking, alcohol consumption, antenatal care, and complications in pregnancy. 482 women were interviewed at Akershus Central Hospital (near Oslo) and Haukeland hospital (in Bergen). Interviews were conducted during one of the first days after delivery using a standardized form. We found that 75% of the pregnancies were planned, while 7% were the result of contraceptive failure. 35% of the women smoked during pregnancy, compared with 43% before pregnancy. However, in relation to the early period of pregnancy the amount of tobacco consumed and the percentage of smokers increased slightly towards the end of pregnancy. Women who smoked were hospitalized during pregnancy more often than non-smokers. 91% of the women used some kind of medication during pregnancy including iron and vitamins.

Contraceptive use among women admitted with abortion in Nairobi.

In this study, a total of 519 patients were interviewed. 82.5% had incomplete abortion. The implication of abortion especially when induced is emphasised. Economic implications that are contributed by the youth are stressed. 83.6% of the patients had not used any contraception. The role of contraception in preventing unwanted pregnancy and therefore induced abortion is stressed. The role of the physician in providing contraception and appropriate contraceptive knowledge is discussed.

Public-sector savings resulting from expenditures for contraceptive services.

Almost one in four U.S. women who use a reversible method of contraception rely on a publicly funded source of care, either a family planning clinic or a private physician reimbursed by Medicaid. According to three scenarios of alternative contraceptive use patterns, if publicly funded services were not available, these women would have between 1.2 million and 2.1 million unintended pregnancies over one year--substantially more than the approximately 400,000 they currently experience. If these women relying on publicly funded services were using no method of contraception, they would be expected to have more than 3.5 million unintended pregnancies in one year. In FY 1987, federal and state governments spent $412 million on contraceptive services for women who otherwise might not have been able to obtain them. If these services had not been available, the additional public costs for medical care, welfare and supplementary nutritional programs during the first two years after a birth or for publicly funded abortions would have totaled $1.2-$2.6 billion. These savings represent an average of $4.40 saved for every dollar of public funds spent to provide contraceptive services.
