COC and endometrial Ca/COC and early pregnancy

• Endometrial cancer • Meta-analysis shows long term protection continuing

for up to 30 years after taking. In high-income countries, 10 years use of oral contraceptives was estimated to reduce the absolute risk of endometrial cancer arising before age 75 years from 2·3 to 1·3 per 100 women. Endometrial cancer and oral contraceptives: an individual participant meta-analysis of 27 276 women

with endometrial cancer from 36 epidemiological studies • Collaborative Group on Epidemiological Studies on Endometrial Cancer†

• Early pregnancy • Recent study in Denmark showed no increase in birth

defects in women taking COCP just before or in early pregnancy

• BMJ 2016;352:h6712

COCP-pill taking regimens

• 7 day pill free interval- evidence of ovulation • All new COCPs 4 day interval or less (Qlaira®,

Zoely®, Eloine®) • Tailored pill taking regimen

• In women familiar with standard use of the COC, switching to tailored COC use or continuing with standard use were both associated with high COC continuation rates and high satisfaction with contraceptive regimen and bleeding pattern. While significant differences tended to favor the standard group, tailored COC use was associated with significantly less bleeding, suited some women very well and can provide a suitable alternative to standard use.

• Randomized trial of the effect of tailored versus standard use of the combined oral contraceptive pill on continuation rates at 1 year.

EURAS-IUD Contraceptive efficacy

• Study of 61,448 women with a newly inserted IUD enrolled in six European countries between 2006 and 2012, over 58,000 studied for 1 year

• Results were contraceptive efficiency and associated complications

• Low incidence of pregnancy, with IUS significantly lower than copper IUD

• Overall Pearl indices of 0.06 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.04–0.09] and 0.52 (95% CI: 0.42–0.64) for LNG IUS and copper IUDs, respectively

Perforation Table: Incidence of perforation per 1,000 insertions for the entire study cohort (IUS and IUD), stratified by lactation and time since delivery at insertion

The benefits of intrauterine contraception still strongly outweigh the rare risk of perforation for most women, including those who are lactating or have recently

given birth. (MHRA June 2015)

Lactating at time of insertion

Not lactating at time of insertion

Insertion ≤36 weeks after delivery

5.6 (95% CI 3.9-7.9; n=6047

1.7 (95% CI 0.8-3.1; n=5927 insertions)

Insertion >36 weeks after delivery

1.6 (95% CI 0.0-9.1; n=608 insertions)

0.7 (95% CI 0.5-1.1; n=41,910 insertions)
