Abstract
Introduction: Regarding the extensive use of IUD, as contraception. The present study was conduced to evaluate the complications resulting from muliload 375 and T Cu 380A IUD inserted in women referred to the health and treatment settings of Kermanshah medical sciences university in the year 2002.
Materials and Methods: The study was descriptive-analytic, on 122 women using M.L 375 IUD and 245 others using T 380A IUD were fully assessed. The tools used to collect data were questionnaires evaluating the following variables: Pregnancy, bleeding, ectopic pregnancy, uterine perforation, and expulsion, pelvic inflammation disease (PID). To analyze the data, descriptive statistic and X², student-T and Fisher tests were used.
Results: Severe bleeding during menstrual cycle was the most common complication in the two study groups, especially in the multiload 375 IUD group (75% vs. 41.6%; P<0.001). The multiload 375 IUD had a significantly higher dysmenorrhea rate compared to the T cu 380A (%70.8 vs. %40.8; P<0.001). The rate of intera-uterine pregnancy was low for the two device %1.7 vs. %2, and occurrence of ectopic pregnancy in multiload 375 IUD was 0.8% and in T Cu 380A group was not reported. There was no uterine perforation observed for either device.
Conclusion: According to the results gained, the common complications in each group were not dangerous and their severe and threatening complications were uncommon. The most frequent complications were severe bleeding during menstrual period, dysmenorrhea and spotting which were not life threating and could be controlled by supporting and training their users, although these complications were seen more among those using M.L 375 IUD. These two device were effective enough to prevent pregnancy. It seems that using T Cu 380A IUD is more suitable for those who want to have a long-term contraception.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Fertility pattern is one of the most important determinants of population fluctuations. Various individual and social factors affect this pattern. This study aimed to determine the factors affecting the fertility pattern using the structural equation model.
Methods & Materials: In this cross-sectional study, 384 women were randomly selected from married women of childbearing age who referred to Taleghani, Valiasr, and Amir Al-Momenin hospitals in Arak as patients. After obtaining verbal consent to participate in the study, a researcher-made and valid questionnaire was completed for them. Structural equation modeling was used to measure the effect of important individual and social variables on fertility patterns. Data analysis and analysis were performed with AMOUS software version 11 and SPSS V. 22.
Ethical Considerations: This study was registered with the ethics code IR.ARAKMU.REC.1396.4 by the Research Ethics Committee of Arak University of Medical Sciences.
Results: The Mean±SD age of the participants in the study was 40.03±11.19. The variables affecting the fertility pattern using the structural equation model included, respectively, the type of individual exercise, the method of contraception, the type of infertility treatment, and the duration of use of the contraceptive method.
Conclusion: The results showed that physical activity, contraceptive method, and duration of use of this method and the type of infertility treatment were related to fertility pattern. By recognizing the factors affecting the fertility pattern and increasing the awareness of young couples, it is possible to help improve the fertility pattern.
