Essai d'int茅gration du planning familial dans les services sanitaires de base en Tunisie
No full textSince 1964 Tunisia has been going to great lengths to curb the population boom by creating a great number of local family planning services. The relative success of this campaign after ten difficult years, seems to be due to the autonomy of these services which are conceived within the frame work of a specific program. In order to avoid the drawbacks of the specific family planning clinics, a project of integrated activities has been proposed to increase the efficiency of birth control activities. An inquiry into the acceptability and the accessibility of the various basic services which are at the disposal of the population, made it possible to determine which services were best adapted to the integration of family planning. Contrary to what had been expected, the maternity centres did not come up to the expectations. The child health centres, on the other hand, proved to be an invaluable link with girls of childbearing age. In 1973, an integrated program of child health care and family planning was set up in the Cap Bon area. Experiments were carried out with an integrated activities scheme and its efficiency was tested during the second year of operation. These tests revealed that, at equal costs, the integrated program has a much wider acceptance and a much better continuity of contraception than specific programs. It also appeared that the average age of mothers attending integrated centres was particularly low, which allowed more efficient birth programs.SCOPUS: NotDefined.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

IUD use and the risk of ectopic pregnancy: A meta-analysis of case- control studies
No full textBecause of inconsistent findings among case-control studies on the relationship between IUD use and the risk of ectopic pregnancy, a meta- analysis of published literature was conducted. From 1977 through 1994, 19 publications regarding 16 studies of ectopic pregnancy and IUD use were found by MEDLINE and manual search. The odds ratios (ORs) of ectopic pregnancy with current and past IUD use in each study were pooled. A quality score system was developed to assess each study. Funnel plot was used to assess potential publication biases. For current IUD use, when cases were compared to pregnant controls, there was an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy (pooled OR: 10.63, 95% confidence interval (CI): 7.66-14.74); when cases were compared to non- pregnant controls, there was no risk of ectopic pregnancy (pooled OR: 1.06, 95% CI: 0.91-1.24). Past IUD use could mildly increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy (pooled OR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.23-1.59). Selecting pregnant or non- pregnant women as controls, however, did not affect the OR estimates of past IUD use. Current IUD use does not increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy. However, a pregnancy with an IUD in situ is more often an ectopic one than a pregnancy with no IUD. Past IUD use could mildly elevate the risk of ectopic pregnancy.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
