Two-hundred-eight women attending family planning clinics in New York City who received the Norplant contraceptive system during the first sixteen months of Norplant implants insertions were evaluated. Within this clinic population, Norplant implants were a popular contraceptive choice and were removed from 64 of the 208 recipients. Reasons for removal included bleeding, weight gain, and headache, and were consistent with those found in the clinical trials. Prior satisfaction with oral contraceptives did not predict success or failure with Norplant implants. The rate of follow-up visits to the family planning clinics was low. However, evidence exists that these women did not lose contact with the medical center and continued to receive health care.
对在纽约市计划生育诊所就诊的208名女性进行了评估，她们在Norplant植入的前16个月内接受了Norplant避孕系统。在这个诊所人群中，Norplant植入是一种受欢迎的避孕选择，208名接受者中有64人取出了植入物。取出的原因包括出血、体重增加和头痛，与临床试验中发现的原因一致。先前对口服避孕药的满意度并不能预测Norplant植入的成功或失败。计划生育诊所的随访率很低。然而，有证据表明这些女性没有与医疗中心失去联系，并且继续接受医疗保健。
