Summary:A comparative study was made of three differently loaded Multiload intrauterine contraceptive devices. The IUDs were used by 450 women for 3 years unless the device was removed earlier. The reasons for IUD removal (pregnancy, bleeding and/or pain, and other) were recorded, and the data analyzed after 1 year and after 3 years using the log-rank method. No statistically significant differences could be found among the three devices either in rate of pregnancy nor IUD removal for any reason.
