다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We conducted comparative clinical study to evaluate the acceptability and effici-ency of the small frame intrauterine deⅵce by using the intrauterine copper contr- aceptive, regular and small Graⅵgard. Regular and small Graⅵgards were inserted into 30 acceptors in each at Yonsei University Family Planning Clinic from January to June 1978. We followed up abo- ut the side effects expulsion, termination rates of the lUD after insertion for 18 months. And the results were as follows. 1. The total months of use were 208 in regular Graⅵgard group, 135 in small Graⅵgard group, total 343. 2. ln most of acceptors (71.7%) were in age group of 25~29 years, and the average of age was 23.9 years. 3. The uterine depth was 6.0~7.0cm in 91.7% of cases. 4. The side effects were seen in 53.3% of regular Graⅵgard group, 56.7% of SMall Graⅵgard group, average 55%. 5. The expulsion rates were 26.7% in regular Graⅵgard group, 16.7% in small Graⅵgard group, average 21.7%. 6. The termination rates were 46.7% in regular Graⅵgard group, 63.3% in small Gravigard group, average 55%. ,7. Only one pregnancy was developed in small Graⅵgard group. 8.There were no eⅵdence of significant differences of the side effects, expulsion termination rates of small Graⅵgard from regular Gravigard to uterine depth.
