PubHealth.info® (a subsidiary of PakMed) presents scientific information mainly based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics, particularly encompassing population planning, disease prevention, maternal and child health, and communicable and non-communicable diseases (like HIV AIDS, malaria, etc) that are affecting a significant portion of population in developing and developed countries. Here you can find abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health topics under category "Contraception (Birth Control) and Family Planning". Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

Original paper on the oral contraceptive (OC) use-cervical cancer relationship are analyzed. The purpose of this

study was to ascertain the biases of the original articles collected in relation to various characteristics of any

investigation. Papers were located by using MEDLINE, by reviewing the references of each article identified by

MEDLINE, and then by reviewing the contents of those journals in which an original article could be published. 55

publications (from 49 original studies) were graded for quality and classified as biased or unbiased. 10 studies were

considered unbiased. The most common biases identified were confounding, detection bias, and misclassification

bias. The pattern of research/publication has changed since the association was first analyzed: articles shift from

gynecological to cancer and epidemiological journals and the number of studies performed by gynecologists alone

and pathologists alone decreases, while studies performed by epidemiologists alone or in collaboration with

gynecologists increase. This collaboration produced studies with fewer biases. it is thus suggested that the above

mentioned collaboration should be increased to improve access to and application of the results obtained in the

original studies on OCs and cervical cancer. (author's) (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT3T 2009-06)
