Usefulness of a clinical scoring system to anticipate difficulty of Norplant removal.
Adv Contracept. 1995; (4): 345-52
Removal of contraceptive implants (e.g. Norplant) is an issue affecting its worldwide acceptability. Reports of difficult, painful removals have resulted in lawsuits and reduced demand. To improve quality of care, we developed a scoring system to anticipate difficult removals. We report on the usefulness of such a system and present client perspectives about the removal experience.
