Health Care Utilization After Immediate Compared With Delayed Postpartum Intrauterine Device Placement
Compared with delayed placement, immediate postpartum IUD placement is not associated with increased office visits. Immediate placement is associated with an increase in imaging but a decrease in laparoscopic surgery to manage IUD-related complications. There was no difference in live birth rates at 6 months or 1 year between groups.
