Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the reproductive outcomes of copper‑containing intrauterine devices (IUDs) after hysteroscopic lysis in patients with mild to severe intrauterine adhesions (IUAs), according to the American Fertility Society (AFS) classification. Therefore, a prospective randomized controlled study was conducted at the Affiliated Jinhua Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University (Jinhua, China). A total of 173 women with IUAs were initially recruited between January 2020 and June 2021 and were then randomized to the copper‑containing IUD group or the no barrier device group. Following hysteroscopic procedure, the fertility and obstetric outcomes were analyzed. Among the 173 patients enrolled, a total of 109 participants completed the study protocol. The results showed that AFS scores were not significantly different between the two groups prior to hysteroscopy. In addition, no statistically significant differences were recorded in pregnancy and live birth rates between the copper‑containing IUD and no barrier device groups. Overall, the results of the current study indicated that the copper‑containing IUDs had no positive effect on pregnancy and live birth rates in patients with mild to severe IUAs after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis. The present trial was retrospectively registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry on 28th December 2023 (registration no. ChiCTR2300079233).
