Levonorgestrel‐releasing intrauterine device in the treatment of menorrhagia
Abstract
Summary. In 20 women with menorrhagia (>80 ml blood loss per menstrual period) a levonorgestrel‐releasing intrauterine device (Lng‐IUCD) was inserted. Menstrual blood loss (MBL) was measured in two consecutive cycles before the device was inserted and after 3, 6 and 12 months of use. MBL was significantly reduced after 3 months (86%) and after 12 months the reduction was 97%. There was a significant increase (P< 0.001) in serum ferritin during the first year of Lng‐IUCD use. The Lng‐IUCD seems to be an important alternative to oral medication and to hysterectomy in the treatment of menorrhagia.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
