Corrigendum. Provision of intrauterine contraception in association with first trimester induced abortion reduces the need of repeat abortion: first-year results of a randomized controlled trial
Abstract
The author would like to apologise for errors in Table II and Fig. 2 of the above article. Due to errors in the procedure dates of subsequent abortions and unplanned pregnancies, the number of women requesting a subsequent termination of pregnancy (TOP) during the first year after the index TOP was mistakenly reported as 29 instead of 26 (ITT analysis). Three cases included in the original analysis occurred more than 365 days after the index TOP. One of these cases was a subsequent TOP and two were miscarriages. Thus, the correct number of repeat TOPs during 1-year follow-up is 23 instead of 24 (ITT analysis). The corrected results are presented in a revised Table II in this corrigendum. The correct cumulative proportions of women without subsequent TOP during one year was 98.4% in the intervention and 95.4% in the control group (P = 0.019) (Fig. 2). The electronic version of this article has been updated at https:// doi.org/10.1093/humrep/dev233. The authors would like to assure readers that this does not affect any other content of the article.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design.
