One-year post-IUD placement, amenorrhoea was reported by 10 (13.7%) women. According to intention-to-treat and per protocol analyses, the proportion of women with normal haemoglobin levels significantly improved (<i>p</i> = 0.014 in both analyses), as did haematocrit (<i>p</i> < 0.001 in both analyses) and serum iron (<i>p</i> = 0.003 in both analyses) compared to baseline evaluations. The proportion of women with normal ferritin levels also improved (<i>p</i> < 0.001) in both analyses using a cut-off of 15 ng/ml, though no significant difference was observed using a 30 ng/ml cut-off (<i>p</i> = 0.083 in both analyses).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The levonorgestrel 19.5-mg IUD effectively improved laboratory markers of anaemia one year after placement in women with HMB.</p>","PeriodicalId":50491,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Contraception and Reproductive Health Care","volume":" ","pages":"282-286"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142331652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
