Abstract
Objective: To determine the demographic and clinical profile of intrauterine
device (IUD) users and factors correlating to duration of
IUD use.

Method: We conducted a prospective observational study of 867 patients
who underwent IUD insertion in Raden Saleh Outpatient Clinic
during the period of January - December 2011. All patients were followed
for 1 year to ascertain any complaint of discharge after insertion.
Spearman correlation test was conducted to inves- tigate the
strength of correlation and significance between age, parity, and discharge,
with duration of IUD use.

Result: During year 2011, 867 patients (median of age=34
[range=14-49]; median parity=2 [range=0-7]) underwent IUD
insertion in Raden Saleh Clinic. The majority of subjects were aged
between 31-35 years old and were willing to use IUD for 4 years.
Bivariate analysis revealed a significant correlation between age,
parity, and vaginal discharge with duration of IUD use. The strongest
correlation was identified between age and duration of use (r=0.25,
p0.002 for parity and
duration of use; r=0.05 p=0.045 for discharge and duration of use).

Conclusion: Most IUD users were aged 31-35 years, who were
willing to use IUD for 4 years. Factors that correlated with duration
of IUD use were age, parity, and vaginal discharge.
