Inpatient Postpartum Long-Acting Reversible Contraception and Sterilization in the United States, 2008–2013

Abstract

Long-acting reversible contraception insertion increased from 1.86 to 13.5 per 10,000 deliveries but remained less than 2% of the sterilization rate. Inpatient postpartum LARC insertion is more likely among sicker, poorer women delivering at urban teaching hospitals.
