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.

Clinical practice guidelines for contraception by the French National College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (CNGOF).

The French College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (CNGOF) has released its first comprehensive recommendations for clinical practices in contraception, to provide physicians with an updated synthesis of the available data as a basis for their practice. The organizing committee and the working group adopted the objective methodological principles defined by the French Authority for Health (HAS) and selected 12 themes relevant to medical professionals' clinical practices concerning contraception. The available literature was screened through December 2017 and served as the basis of 12 texts, reviewed by experts and physicians from public and private practices, with experience in this field.

Effectiveness and cost of contraception in France (FACET study): a cohort study from the French National Healthcare Insurance Database.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness and costs associated with contraceptive methods based on real-world data in France.

Study Design: A cross-sectional cohort study based on data from a representative sample of the French National Healthcare Insurance Database (Echantillon Généralistes des Bénéficiaires (EGB)) was performed between January 1st 2006 and December 31st 2012. Women aged 15 years or older and users of at least one reimbursed contraceptive method between January 1st 2012 and December 31st 2012 were selected.

Elective abortion: Clinical practice guidelines from the French College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (CNGOF).

The number of elective abortions has been stable for several decades. Many factors explain women's choice of abortion in cases of unplanned pregnancies. Early initiation of contraceptive use and a choice of contraceptive choices appropriate to the woman's life are associated with lower rates of unplanned pregnancies.

Hysteroscopic tubal sterilization with Essure intratubal devices: a case-control prospective with inert local anesthesia or without anesthesia.

Objective: The contraceptive efficacy of hysteroscopic sterilization is well documented. The objective of this study was to compare procedure success, patient tolerance, and procedure time of Essure micro-insert hysteroscopic sterilization with or without anesthesia.

Study Design: Between February 2002 and May 2005, one operator performed 140 sterilization procedures in this prospective study: the first 70 were performed using local anesthesia and the following 70 began without administration of anesthesia.
