Bahonar A.R *, Vahdaninia M, Jafari M Pages 5-12

Objectives

The aim of the study was to evaluate the factors associated with the selection of IUD as a reversible, safe and effective method in comparison with other contraceptive methods by married women in Pakdasht city. Material & metods: A multicenter clinic-based case-control study was conducted in January 2001. In a direct interview 60 current IUD users (cases) and 83 women using other contraceptive methods (controls), answered to 23 questions.Data obtained from 143 women was cumputerized and analysis was performed with SPSS and STATA programs.

Results

Cases were younger than controls (P<0.01) and it was found that literacy (Odds ratio=2.44, 95%CI=l.44-5.71), history of l.U.D. training (Odds ratio=3.l, 95%Cl=l.51-6.35) , husband agreement (Odds ratio=l9.88, 95%Cl=4.52-87.8) and fewer number of: pregnancy (Odds ratio =2.79, 95%CI= 1.26-6.15), children (Odds ratio=2, 95%CI= 1.03-4.0 I) and sons (Odds ratio =3.46, 95%Cl= 1.54- 7.78) were positively associated with selection of IUD, besides the history of side effects from this method decreased using of this instrument (Odds ratio=0.17, 95%CI=0.4-0.73).

Conclusion

In each country there are unpredictable factors affecting contraceptive consumption behavior. This factors include cultural condition, religious, epidemiology of diseases, reproductive health, availability of family planning services and economic issues. Therefore, research and investigation about this factors in different regions of each country for decision makers in health system is inevitable.

Risk factors for sensorineural hearing loss in children

Sadighi J *, Majlesi F Pages 13-21

Objective

To determine Risk factors for sensorineural hearing loss in children. Material &

methods

The association of selected risk factors with sensorineural hearing loss was assessed in a case- control study of 396 children aged under 6 years from 13 74 to 1376 in Tehran. 200 cases with diagnosed sensorineural hearing loss who were attending to deaf educational centers were compared with 195 controls who were chosen among the nurseries. The questionnaire was used to obtain informations about maternal and child risk factors.

Results

Multiple Logistic Regression Analysis showed the following factors to be independently associated with increased risk of sensorineural hearing loss in children: positive family history of hearing loss (Odds ratio= 11.9, 95%C 1=5.3 - 27.2), parental consanguinity (Odds ratio=4. l , 95% CJ=2.2 - 7.4), seizure (Odds ratio=6.8 , 95% Cl=2.2 20.8), hyperbilirubinemia needing exchange transfusion (Odds ratio=3.3 , 95% CJ=l.05 - 10.7), head trauma (Odds ratio=3 , 95% Cl=l.001- 9.1), ototoxic drugs (Odds ratio=3.I, 95% CI=l.4 - 6.8), maternal (prenatal) trauma ( Odds ratio=15.9, 95% Cl=l.5 - I 64.4), maternal (prenatal) rash (Odds ratio= 13.8, 95% CI= I .4 - I 36.3) and delivery complication (Odds ratio= I .9 , 95% Cl= 1.003 - 4).

Conclusion

We believe that a dramatic increase in the early detection of hearing impairement in early infancy is achievable. Initially, this would best be accomplished by adopting a policy of screening high risk infants. Pediatricians, in particular, must consider earlier refferal of high-risk patients.

Integration of breast cancer screening program in the primary health services, Iran, 1999

Sadighi J *, Goshtasebi A, Garmaroudi G, Hajsayed Asisi Pages 33-44

Objectives. The ministry of health and Jahad daneshgahi conducted a research on integration of breast cancer screening in to the health network as a pilot study in the 1996. The location of this pilot study was Shahrchord, Mobarakeh and Lanjan districts. The objective was to assess the compliance of health network to run this new program.

Material & methods

Screening tests were clinical examination and breast self-examination (BSE). Target group was 30 years and older women who were screened for 2 rounds of screening (one-year interval). Target group was examined by Behvarz/ health worker in health network and the suspicious cases of breast lump were referred to general physician. Likewise, the suspicions cases in clinical examination performed by general physician were referred to surgeon. Health workers recommended BSE and general physicians used Fine Needle Aspiration, too. Surgeons used biopsy for definite diagnosis. In 1999, after two rounds of screening (two years), an assessment program was conducted on this pilot study. It is important to note that effectiveness of screening program is assessed by the estimation of mortality rate reduction in about 5-10 years with comparing study (screening) and control (non- screening) groups.

Results

Evaluation criteria are: feasibility and effectiveness. l. Indicators of Feasibility: • Acceptability Acceptability In this assessment is equal to response rate or coverage. The coverage for screening was 66% in the first round and 53% in the second. • Cost-effectiveness Data for this indicator was not available, therefore it was not measured. • Proportion of diagnosed cases Percentage of total malignant cases to total biopsies was 7%. - First round: Pick up rate was 28 m 100000 women. Percentage of malignant cases to total biopsies was 15%. - Second round: Pick-up rate was 10 to in 100000 women. Percentage of malignant cases to total biopsies was 2%. • Proportion of positive tests who followed, diagnosed and treated Information of treated cases who were diagnosed by surgeons was not available. First round: 92% of positive tests in Behvarz/ Health worker examination were client of general physician (8% Attrition Rate) and 25% of positive tests in general physician examination were client of surgeon (75% Attrition Rate). Percentage of malignant cases to positive tests in Behvarz/ health worker examination was% 0.1. Second Year: 77% of positive tests in Behvarz/ Health worker examination were client of general physician (23% Attrition Rate) and 45% of positive tests in general physician examination were client of surgeon (55% Attrition Rate). Percentage of malignant cases to positive tests of Behvarz/ Health worker examination was%0.1. 2. Indicators of Effectiveness: • Specific mortality reduction rate in diagnosed cases through screening This indicator was not estimated because there is not cancer registration system in our country. • Reduction of breast cancer staging by screening Stages in first round were 11 % (I), 33% (II), 33 (Ill) and 23% (JV). Data of stages in second round was not available. Comparing stages in screening group and control group was impossible because of missing cancer registration system. • Percentage of cases diagnosis by screening Estimation of this indicator was impossible because of missing cancer registration system.

Conclusion

As show the results, coverage rate of screening program was low and declining and covered age groups was not appropriate. Attrition rates were high and there was not any appropriate follow-up plan. Attrition cases may be malignant or false positive and they have used and expense in other services in the health system, and their follow-up data was missing, too. Data of effectiveness indicators were not available because there is not any cancer registration system. Implementation of a useful mass population screening program needs to assess effectiveness of screening because of high cost of program, false positive and false negative cases follow-up. Therefore, the first step for any control program of cancer in this country is implementation of cancer registration system.
