SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months after cesarean delivery

Population: Analysis only done on subject completing six-month visit

We measured satisfaction with the IUS at each visit using a single question with a 5 point Likert scale, with 1 being "very unsatisfied," 2 "unsatisfied", 3 "neutral," 4 "satisfied," and 5 "very satisfied." For statistical purposes, subjects were determined to be "SATISFIED" with the IUS if they chose either 4 or 5 for this question.
