Background: Postpartum Implanon use serves as an important conduit to bridge the wide gap of unmet need for contraception. The study sought to determine the continuation rates of postpartum Implanon/Nexplanon use and factors associated with it.Methods: A retrospective review of electronic data of 391 women who had received postpartum Implanon/Nexplanon insertions from January 2012 to December 2015 was conducted at a family planning hospital in Accra, Ghana. Continuation rates and factors associated with discontinuation at 6 months, one year and two years post-partum were determined. Data were analysed using IBM Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.Results: A total of 391 postpartum Implanon/Nexplanon insertions were done during study period. Their mean age was 28.51±5.29 years and median parity was 2.0. Continuation rates of postpartum Implanon/Nexplanon at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years post uptake were 94.9%, 92.8% and 86.4% respectively. Women with tertiary level education were 64% less likely to continue Implanon/Nexplanon use at one-year post uptake (OR=0.36, CI=0.16-0.85). Women with education up to Senior High School were 62% less likely to continue postpartum Implanon/Nexplanon use at 2 years after uptake (OR=0.38, CI=0.18-0.81). Women between ages 20 and 29 years were 53% less likely to continue postpartum Implanon/Nexplanon use at 2 years (OR=0.47, CI=0.26-0.86). Reasons for discontinuation of postpartum Implanon/Nexplanon use were wishes to get pregnant and side effects of the method.Conclusions: Post -partum Implanon/Nexplanon continuation rates are high and remain as a viable choice for reduction of unplanned pregnancies post- delivery.

Background: Post partum contraception is the best evidence based intervention in prevention of pregnancy and abortion related maternal morbidity and mortality in the developing countries. The unmet need for contraception among women in the postpartum period can be effectively fulfilled by post partum insertion of IUCD, in a single visit under the Government scheme of providing free maternity services during institutional delivery. Despite optimal efforts by family planning program, very few couples are opting for spacing methods and lack of awareness has resulted in discontinuation of family planning methods particularly PPIUCD. This study is designed to study the practices of PPIUCD and causes for discontinuation at follow up in our hospital. The objectives of the study were study PPIUCD practices at Vanivilas hospital; causes for discontinuation of PPIUCD.Methods: Prospective study done at Vanivilas hospital attached to Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute from January 2014 to December 2014. Women admitted and delivered at VVH, were counselled. CuT 380A was inserted in accepters who fulfilled the Medical Eligibility Criteria and had no contraindications for PPIUCD. They were followed up till June 2016.Results: There were 2072 PPIUCD insertions in one year, out of which 1244 were post placental, 139 were in immediate postpartum and 689 were intra caesarean insertions. Fifty four (54) women discontinued PPIUCD during follow up .Main causes for removal were menstrual abnormalities (19), pain abdomen (13), wanting sterilisation procedure (12) and marital disharmony.Conclusions: PPIUCD is an effective, safe, reversible method of long term contraception with high reported expulsion and low perforation rate, compared to interval insertion. More research is needed in the field of PPIUCD to enhance awareness and acceptance in the community. Awareness and counselling the eligible couples during ante natal care can improve acceptance and compliance of PPIUCD continuation rates.

Abstract Background Pregnancies complicated by cardiovascular disease carry a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Contraception offers a unique opportunity to avoid unintended pregnancy and/or optimize preconception cardiac health status. Such planning will also allow possible modification of medical therapy that can be detrimental to the growing fetus. However, unmet need for contraception can become a barrier to achieving these goals. This research was aimed to determine the rate of unmet need for contraceptives and associated factors among women with cardiovascular disease. Methods A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February 1 – May 31/2020. A convenient sampling technique was used to enroll 284 reproductive age women with cardiovascular disease having follow-up at Saint Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College. Data was collected through an exit interview using a structured and pretested questionnaire. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate methods were used to analyze the level of unmet need and its associated factors. Results The overall unmet need for contraception was 36%. The majority of the respondents lack counseling on contraception use. The most common reasons for non-use of a contraceptive method was fear of drug side effects and drug interaction. Unmet need for contraception was found to be more likely among those who have not been counseled on contraceptive utilization (AOR 6.7, CI 1.8–24.7) and those who lack partner support on contraception use (AOR = 6.2, CI: 1.91–19.8). Unmet need was also found to be more likely among women who have never used contraception before (AOR = 3.2, CI 1.12–8.92). Conclusion Unmet need for contraception was high in this high-risk population group. Tailored counseling can alleviate fear and concerns about contraceptive use. Appropriate strategies that enhance male partner involvement should also be implemented.

Background: The postpartum period is viewed as an opportune period for uptake of contraception. Ghana has an unmet need for family planning of 30%. This study sought to determine the postpartum Implanon/Nexplanon uptake among women at a tertiary hospital.Methods: This was a retrospective study that analysed 391 Implanon/Nexplanon insertions between 2012 and 2015 at the reproductive health and family planning unit at the Korle-Bu teaching hospital.Results: Almost 69% (391/565) of all Implanon/Nexplanon insertions conducted between 2012 and 2015 were conducted in the postpartum period. Out of these postpartum insertions, 2.3% were done in the immediate postpartum period, 27.6% were done during the interval postpartum period and 70.1% were in the delayed postpartum period. Age and implant insertion status (first time ever or continuing) were significant determinants of postpartum Implanon/Nexplanon insertions. Compared to women less than 20 years of age, women in the age group 20-29 and 30-39 were 76% (AOR=0.24, CI=0.62-0.97) and 80% (AOR=0.20, CI=0.05-0.86) respectively less likely to have postpartum Implanon/Nexplanon  insertions done. Continuing users of implant insertions were 45% (AOR=0.55, CI=0.37-0.82) less likely to have post-partum Implanon/Nexplanon insertions done compared to first ever users.Conclusions: There is a high uptake of postpartum Implanon/Nexplanon use among patients who receive implant insertions at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. However immediate postpartum Implanon/Nexplanon insertions are low. There is the need to educate women and couples on the benefits of immediate postpartum implant insertion to avoid rapid repeat pregnancies.

Background:The highest mortality rates in patients with small vessel systemic vasculitis occur within the first year after the diagnosis, however associated factors have been scarcely studied in our population.Objectives:To identify mortality associated factors at the time of diagnosis in patients with small vessel systemic vasculitis.Methods:Retrospective cohort (2009-2020) involving 81 patients diagnosed with systemic small vessel vasculitis. Demographic, clinical and biochemical parameters were studied as potential factors associated with one-year mortality.Results:Of the total of patients (n=81), 36 (44.4%) had generalized granulomatosis with polyangiitis, 32 (39.5%) had localized granulomatosis with polyangiitis and 5 (6.2%) had early systemic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, 7 (8.6%) had microscopic polyangiitis and 1 (1.25%) had eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Twenty-two deaths (27%) were observed, 14 of them (63.6%) happened within the first year of diagnosis. The leading cause of death was infection (64%). Patients who died within the first year of diagnosis had a higher frequency of hypoalbuminemia (p=0.05) and also presented hemoglobin lower than 10.8 g/dL (p=0.035) in comparison with those who died after the first year of diagnosis. Remission induction treatment did not differ between both groups.Conclusion:Our study suggests that hypoalbuminemia and anemia are factors associated with a higher mortality within the first year after the diagnosis in patients with systemic small vessel vasculitis which contrast with previously reported data. The study design and the reduced number of patients are two major limitations of the study.References:[1]Flossmann O, Berden A, Groot K, et al.

Background: The safety and efficacy of the Post-Partum Intra Uterine Contraceptive Device (PPIUCD) has been documented worldwide. With increasing institutional deliveries and greater sensitization, the aim is to increase PPIUCD insertions. Many areas still report poor acceptance.  Objectives of this study to determine the proportion of antenatal women willing to accept PPIUCD insertion and the reasons behind refusal to accept this method.Methods: A prospective questionnaire study was done between January 2019 to June 2019 of 200 women. Inclusion criteria were antenatal women in the 2nd/3rd trimester. Exclusion criteria were those opting for a permanent method of contraception and those with a contra-indication.Results: Eighty-four women (42%) had never used any method of contraception. Earlier Intrauterine device (IUD) use (including both interval and PPIUCD) was in only 18.9% of all contraceptive users. Only 2 women in the group had ever used PPIUCD. 79% of women were aware of IUDs. Those unaware were mainly nulliparous. Amongst those aware of an IUD, 88 (56%) were aware it could be inserted postpartum. Only 18% were aware it could be inserted intra-cesarean. All women who participated were offered the option for a PPIUCD. Fifty-nine (29.5%) of all women expressed their willingness but on follow up till delivery only 18 of these women got a PPIUCD inserted.  Amongst those not willing for the PPIUCD insertion the commonest reason was general apprehension (39%) followed by partner refusal (33%) and fear of complications (31%). Six women (4.2%) gave history of complications following earlier use and were unwilling for its repeat use. Conclusion: The large unmet need for contraception in India can be solved through repeated counselling and discussions with the woman during her antenatal visits. Alleviating apprehension and addressing concerns of the couple will increase PPIUCD acceptance.
