Résumé

Up to half of the patients requesting postpartum permanent contraception do not undergo the desired procedure. Although nonfulfillment of desired postpartum permanent contraception is associated with increased risk of pregnancy within 12 months of delivery, its long-term reproductive and maternal health outcomes are less clear. This study aimed to determine the association of fulfillment of postpartum permanent contraception with number and timing of subsequent pregnancies and maternal health outcomes. This was a retrospective single-center cohort chart review study of health outcomes in the 4 years following delivery (2016-2018) for 1331 patients with a documented contraceptive plan of female permanent contraception at time of postpartum discharge from 2012 to 2014. Rates of permanent contraception fulfillment within 90 days of delivery and clinical and demographic characteristics associated with permanent contraception were calculated. We determined number of and time to subsequent pregnancies, and diagnoses of medical comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, depression, anxiety, asthma, anemia), sexually transmitted infection, and pregnancy comorbidities (preterm birth, gestational diabetes mellitus, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage, low birthweight, intrauterine fetal demise) in the 4 years following delivery. Of the 1331 patients desiring permanent contraception postpartum, 588 (44.1%) had their requests fulfilled within 90 days of delivery and 743 (55.8%) did not. Patients who achieved permanent contraception fulfillment tended to have attended more outpatient prenatal visits, delivered via cesarean delivery, and were older, married, college-educated, and privately insured. Patients who received their desired postpartum permanent contraception were less likely to have subsequent intrauterine pregnancies ( Nonfulfillment of desired postpartum permanent contraception is associated with subsequent maternal reproductive and nonreproductive health ramifications. Given the barriers to permanent contraception, alternative plans for contraception should be discussed proactively if permanent contraception is not provided.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Up to half of the patients requesting postpartum permanent contraception do not undergo the desired procedure. Although nonfulfillment of desired postpartum permanent contraception is associated with increased risk of pregnancy within 12 months of delivery, its long-term reproductive and maternal health outcomes are less clear.
OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to determine the association of fulfillment of postpartum permanent contraception with number and timing of subsequent pregnancies and maternal health outcomes.
STUDY DESIGN METHODS
This was a retrospective single-center cohort chart review study of health outcomes in the 4 years following delivery (2016-2018) for 1331 patients with a documented contraceptive plan of female permanent contraception at time of postpartum discharge from 2012 to 2014. Rates of permanent contraception fulfillment within 90 days of delivery and clinical and demographic characteristics associated with permanent contraception were calculated. We determined number of and time to subsequent pregnancies, and diagnoses of medical comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, depression, anxiety, asthma, anemia), sexually transmitted infection, and pregnancy comorbidities (preterm birth, gestational diabetes mellitus, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage, low birthweight, intrauterine fetal demise) in the 4 years following delivery.
RESULTS RESULTS
Of the 1331 patients desiring permanent contraception postpartum, 588 (44.1%) had their requests fulfilled within 90 days of delivery and 743 (55.8%) did not. Patients who achieved permanent contraception fulfillment tended to have attended more outpatient prenatal visits, delivered via cesarean delivery, and were older, married, college-educated, and privately insured. Patients who received their desired postpartum permanent contraception were less likely to have subsequent intrauterine pregnancies (
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Nonfulfillment of desired postpartum permanent contraception is associated with subsequent maternal reproductive and nonreproductive health ramifications. Given the barriers to permanent contraception, alternative plans for contraception should be discussed proactively if permanent contraception is not provided.
