RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The objective was to describe the ease and difficulty of removing intrauterine devices (IUDs). METHODS: We conducted a prospective study at the University of XXX, Faculty of Medical Sciences, XXXX. We included women who requested IUD removal. We excluded women with partial IUD expulsion in which the IUD was protruded at the external os. We identified difficult IUD removal when the removal was challenging, including the inability to visualize IUD strings extending from the cervical os. RESULTS: A total of 869 women participated. Women were aged 29.4 ± 8.0 years (mean ± SD; range 14-51) and the duration of IUD use at the time of removal was 4.3 ± 4.2 years. We found that 702 (80.8%) women had visible strings at the external os and the removals were performed at the first attempt without difficulty in 692 (79.6%) participants. Pain was more intense (>4) in cases of difficult removals. After multivariate logistic analysis, difficult removals were associated with users of IUD > 3 years (3 times higher risk); for each previous cesarean delivery, the risk increased by 1.5 times. CONCLUSION: Our study showed that IUD removal is an easy and safe procedure, with only a small proportion of women reporting significant pain with IUD removal.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: In Brazil, inequalities in access may interfere with cancer care. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of race on breast cancer mortality in the state of São Paulo, from 2000 to 2017, contextualizing with other causes of death. METHODS: A population-based retrospective study using mortality rates, age and race as variables. Information on deaths was collected from the Ministry of Health Information System. Only white and black categories were used. Mortality rates were age-adjusted by the standard method. For statistical analysis, linear regression was carried out. RESULTS: There were 60,940 deaths registered as breast cancer deaths, 46,365 in white and 10,588 in black women. The mortality rates for 100,000 women in 2017 were 16.46 in white and 9.57 in black women, a trend to reduction in white (p = 0.002), and to increase in black women (p = 0.010). This effect was more significant for white women (p < 0.001). The trend to reduction was consistent in all age groups in white women, and the trend to increase was observed only in the 40-49 years group in black women. For 'all-cancer causes', the trend was to a reduction in white (p = 0.031) and to increase in black women (p < 0.001). For 'ill-defined causes' and 'external causes', the trend was to reduce both races (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The declared race influenced mortality rates due to breast cancer in São Paulo. The divergences observed between white and black women also were evident in all cancer causes of death, which may indicate inequities in access to highly complex health care in our setting.
