  • The Risk of Ectopic Pregnancy after Tubal Sterilization

    Herbert B Peterson, Zhisen Xia et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1997

    Background Tubal sterilization is an increasingly common method of contraception in the United States. Although pregnancy after sterilization is uncommon, it can occur and may be ectopic. We used data from the U.S. Collaborative Review of Sterilization to estimate the risk of ectopic pregnancy in women who had undergone the common types of tubal sterilization. Methods A total of 10,685 women undergoing tubal sterilization were followed in a multi…

    In the United States and throughout the world, the majority of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections are sexually transmitted. an estimated 12 million other sexually transmitted diseases occur annually in the United States. Avoiding sexual intercourse altogether or restricting sex to partners known to be uninfected will prevent infection; this needs to be promoted as the most effective strategy. Studies show that correct and consistent us…

  • Age-specific Differences in the Relationship between Oral Contraceptive Use and Breast Cancer

    Phyllis A Wingo, Nancy C Lee et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1991

    Background Nearly all studies have suggested that the use of oral contraceptives (OC) is not associated with the aggregate risk of breast cancer diagnosed in women aged 20-54 years. Because of age-specific differences in the breast cancer-parity relationship and because of age-specific differences in other breast cancer risk factors, the Centers for Disease Control reexamined data from the Cancer and Steroid Hormone Study (CASH) to assess whether…

  • Mortality associated with sterilization

    Roger Rochat, R W Rochat et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1987

    Sterilization is the contraceptive method most widely used worldwide, yet the case-fatality rate of deaths attributable to sterilization is not known. We used data collected from 1971–1979 from 28 countries by Family Health International to estimate case-fatality rates. We adjusted these rates for individuals lost to follow-up. Of 41,834 sterilizations, 23 resulted in deaths temporally associated with the procedure used. The adjusted attributable…

  • Long-term Risk of Menstrual Disturbances after Tubal Sterilization

    Frank DeStefano, Jeffrey A Perlman et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1986

    We analyzed data from the Walnut Creek Contraceptive Drug Study to compare the menstrual characteristics of 719 women who had tubal sterilizations and 1083 women whose partners had undergone a vasectomy. Study participants were enrolled from 1968 to 1972 and followed up through 1976. The tubal sterilization group had slightly increased, though in most instances not statistically significant, risks of moderate to severe menstrual cramps and advers…

  • Menstrual Changes after Tubal Sterilization

    Frank DeStefano, Carlos M Huezo et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1984

    The authors used data from a multicenter prospective study of female sterilization surgery to study changes in menstrual function following tubal sterilization. Duration of menstrual bleeding, menstrual cycle length, cycle regularity, amount of menstrual bleeding, menstrual pain, and intermenstrual bleeding were examined. The authors followed 2456 women for two years after tubal sterilization surgery. Each woman served as her own control; her men…

  • Mortality among young black women using contraceptives

    Howard W Ory, George L Rubin et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1984

    Data on the risk of death associated with various contraceptive methods are incomplete. Therefore, we analyzed the mortality rates for young, black inner-city women who used one of four methods of contraception—oral contraceptives, depomedroxyprogesterone acetate, intrauterine (contraceptive) devices, and barrier methods. The subjects were 30,580 15-to 44-year-old women who enrolled at a family planning clinic between 1967 and 1972 and who were o…

  • Demographic trends in tubal sterilization

    Frank DeStefano, J R Greenspan et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1982References: 2

    In the period 1970-1977, an estimated 4,236,000 women 15-44 years of age had tubal sterilization operations in United States hospitals. Both the number and the rate of tubal sterilizations increased each year from 1970-1977, but in 1978 both declined. Tubal sterilization rates for Black women were higher than for White women. Black women also tended to be younger at the time of tubal sterilization. For the nation as a whole, the mean age at the t…
