A randomized study was conducted simultaneously in three countries to compare the clinical performance of two new IUDs, the Nova-T and Copper-T-200. Forty-four persons, midwives, general practitioners, residents and specialists in obstetrics and gynecology inserted 907 Nova-Ts and 936 Copper-Ts. The pregnancy rate of Nova-T (0.7 at one year) was significantly lower than that of Copper-T (2.2 at one year). No significant differences were observed in other termination rates. The continuation rates were 72.6 for Nova-T and 71.3 for Copper-T-200. The total experience was based on 18,035 woman months of use, with a lost to follow-up of less than 7 per cent for both IUDs.
