Disease relevance of Family Planning Services

• After controlling for other factors known to influence either birth weight or infant mortality, maternal cocaine use (odds ratio [OR] = 5.43), prior infant death (OR = 27.14), and planned pregnancy (OR = 6.33) were significantly associated with the survival of very low birth weight infants [3].
• Chlamydia-specific immunoglobulin M was found in four of eight patients with psittacosis and in a proportion of sera from patients attending veneral disease and Family Planning Association clinics [4].
• In 49% of women their GP was aware of their intention to conceive, but rubella had not been discussed with the GP before 50% of these planned pregnancies, and in 80% the issue of folate had not been discussed [5].

High impact information on Family Planning Services

• Quinacrine method of family planning [6].
• Family planning was a more frequent reason for seeking presymptomatic testing in ADCA than in HD [7].
• However, we could have been more proactive in calculating the risks of pregnancy for women with epilepsy and adjusted treatment in anticipation of a planned pregnancy, before the patient actually became pregnant [8].
• Using data on females aged 15-19 years who visited family planning clinics more than once from 1988 to 1992 (n = 26,921) in Region X (Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington), the authors constructed a retrospective cohort [9].
• African-Caribbean (N = 136) and White British (N = 192) female family planning clinic attenders were administered the Bulimic Investigatory Test, Edinburgh (BITE) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Family Planning Services

• A planned pregnancy with a satisfactory outcome is reported in a 33-year-old woman who had received long-term home parenteral nutrition after a massive volvulus, with resection of almost the entire small intestine, six years previously [11].
• Medical aspects During the preconceptional period the most important actions are: family planning, education, analysis of previous obstetrical miscarriages and prevention of congenital malformations (folic acid) [12].
• Between April 1996 to March 2000, results of all chlamydia detection tests on genital specimens sent from general practitioners and the two main sexual healthcare providers (Genitourinary Medicine and Family Planning services) were reviewed [13].
• In the planned pregnancy group, 3 developed pregnancy induced hypertension and 3 impaired glucose tolerance [14].
• The response of women attending family planning clinics run by the Area Health Authority providing health education on protection against rubella (cases), was compared with those attending clinics with no specific educational provision (controls) [15].

Biological context of Family Planning Services

• Out-patient sterilization services were introduced by the Family Planning Clinic of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, College of Medicine, Lagos, in September, 1981 [16].
• CONCLUSIONS: Urinary-based ovulation prediction and pregnancy detection tests available for use by nonprofessionals enable women and couples to take an active role in the family planning process [17].
• This report illustrates the procedure for estimating HARI by using data from a panel survey conducted in Peru. It discusses the usefulness and limitations of the index in assessing the success or failure of a family planning program with a reproductive health orientation [18].
• We concur with the recommendation that preconceptional counselling in gestational diabetics is required to improve glucose homeostasis throughout pregnancy, and that appropriate evaluation of glucose intolerance should be included as part of prospective family planning [19].
• All the family-planning providers (100%) cited combined oral contraceptives, 73.2% cited intrauterine devices, and 9.8% cited other methods (mifepristone, high-dose estrogen, menstrual regulation) [20].

Anatomical context of Family Planning Services

• METHODS: During a 2-year period, patients attending family planning clinics for regular gynecologic examinations had acetic acid applied to the cervix, followed by gross visualization without magnification [21].

Associations of Family Planning Services with chemical compounds

• Mum's the word: the Supreme Court and family planning [22].
• The authors performed a prospective clinical evaluation of the Gonozyme (Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, IL) assay in a family planning clinic population [23].
• Rates and outcomes of planned pregnancy after use of Norplant capsules, Norplant II rods, or levonorgestrel-releasing or copper TCu 380Ag intrauterine contraceptive devices [24].
• SETTING: The Department of Gynaecological Oncology, The Samaritan Hospital, London; the Department of Genitourinary Medicine, St Mary's Hospital, London; and the Family Planning Clinic, Claremont Terrace, Glasgow [25].
• RESULTS: Fifty-two percent of women recalled being counseled about glucose control and 37% recalled family planning advice [26].

Gene context of Family Planning Services

• Chlamydial antibodies were found more frequently and in higher titer in sera from women attending veneral disease clinics then in sera from a less promiscuous population attending a Family Planning Association clinic [4].
• This finding should be considered in counseling women with epilepsy on family planning [27].
• GOALS: To evaluate the specificity of the Syva MicroTrak EIA by confirmation of positive specimens with the Syva Direct Fluorescent Specimen Test. STUDY DESIGN: Of 6,039 endocervical specimens collected from women attending Colorado family planning clinics, 328 positive EIA results (5.4%) were obtained by Syva MicroTrak EIA [28].
• We conclude that these data support our present practice of performing tubal ligation at the time of induced abortion, rather than changing to the practice of abortion followed by interval sterilization six weeks later, with its many disadvantages to the patient as well as to those providing family-planning services [29].
• METHODS: A cross sectional study of women attending gynaecology and family planning clinics in Lima, Peru was undertaken [30].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Family Planning Services

• In this study plasma concentrations of beta-carotene and retinol were measured in coded samples by sensitive high-pressure liquid chromatography in a cross-sectional study of 149 normal healthy women attending a family planning clinic [31].
• We recorded 1) attitudes toward reproduction, 2) nature of contact with affected family member(s), 3) effects of HD on family planning, 4) attitudes toward AID, and 5) concern about donor selection criteria [32].
• Three hundred and fifty patients of the Family Planning Service of the Hospital De Gineco Obstetricia of the Medical Center at the Mexican Social Security Institute were treated by tubal electrocoagulation under hysteroscopic control [33].
• A field study of the injectable contraceptive, norethisterone enanthate (NET-EN), was conducted in family planning clinics in Sind and Punjab provinces of Pakistan, to determine the acceptability and feasibility of providing NET-EN in government family planning clinics staffed by Family Welfare Visitors (FWVs) [34].
• 4. Women attending a family planning center applying for therapeutic abortion (FPC) [35].
