Real-world cost-effectiveness of etonogestrel implants compared to long-term and short term reversible contraceptive methods in France.

Background: To estimate the cost-effectiveness (CE) of etonogestrel implants compared to other long-term and short-term reversible contraceptive methods available in France.

Research Design And Methods: A 6-year Markov model compared effectiveness between the implant and six other contraceptive methods in sexually active, not-pregnancy-seeking French females of reproductive age. Contraception efficacy, switch rates and outcomes were based on French current medical practice.
