Study Summary
Over 50% of all pregnancies that occur in the US are unintended, and unintended pregnancy is detrimental to maternal and child health. Tubal sterilization may be performed immediately following a delivery, or as an interval procedure remote from pregnancy. Many women request sterilization to follow delivery, but it is frequently not completed during the peri-partum hospitalization. Women who are denied an immediate post-partum tubal are generally candidates to complete the procedure as an interval surgery within a few months of delivery, but few do so. Women who request tubal sterilization and do not receive it are at highest risk for a rapid repeat pregnancy, with as many as 46% having an unintended pregnancy within 1 year. The standard care at many institutions for a patient denied tubal sterilization during hospitalization is to offer a short term contraceptive and instruct the patient to follow up for the standard post-partum outpatient visit in 4-6 weeks. If the patient still desires tubal sterilization at that time, the surgical procedure will be scheduled. No-show rates for post-partum care are high at about 50%-60%, and therefore, many patients are never scheduled for their surgery. If the process of scheduling interval tubal sterilization surgery could be expedited, rates of completion could be improved.
