This paper will use routine data to analyse details regarding the users\u02bc profiles, reasons for using it and the utilisation of hospital outpatient facilities. Patient Collective and Methods: Retrospective analysis of all triage sheets in the emergency department of the Virchow Hospital Campus\/Charit\u00e9 University Hospital, Berlin, over a four-year period from 2007 to 2010 that were coded with the ICD diagnosis Z30 (=\u00a0contraception advice) and statistical processing of the associated administrative data. Results: 860 triage sheets were included in the analysis. The emergency department is used most frequently for the prescription of the \u201cmorning-after pill\u201d at the weekend. The average age of the users was 25.1 years. The most common reason cited for needing emergency contraception was unprotected sexual intercourse, with the second-most common\n                        being \u201ccondom failure\u201d. Around half of the women attended the department within 12 hours of having unprotected sex. Less than 2\u200a% (n\u2009=\u200914) of all women decided against a prescription of emergency contraceptive after counselling. Conclusions: The user profile and reasons for using emergency oral contraception correlate largely with the information contained in international literature. Although the \u201cmorning-after pill\u201d is probably prescribed mainly in general practices in Germany, and despite the availability of new drugs with a permitted post-exposure interval of up to 120 hours after unprotected sex, there appears to still be a high demand for counselling and prescriptions of the \u201cmorning-after pill\u201d in the context of the emergency department.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0031-1298446","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,31]],"date-time":"2012-05-31T02:43:15Z","timestamp":1338432195000},"page":"392-396","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Prescription of the Morning-After Pill in a Berlin Emergency Department Over a Four-Year Period \u2013 User Profiles and Reasons for Use"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"72","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"David","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynaecology, Charit\u00e9 \u2013 University Medicine Berlin, Virchow Hospital Campus, Berlin"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.-M.","family":"Radke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynaecology, Charit\u00e9 \u2013 University Medicine Berlin, Virchow Hospital Campus, Berlin"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Pietzner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetric Medicine, Charit\u00e9 \u2013 University Medicine Berlin, Virchow Hospital Campus, Berlin"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,22]]},"container-title":["Geburtshilfe und Frauenheilkunde"],"original-title":[],"language":"de","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0031-1298446.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,4]],"date-time":"2023-08-04T14:44:27Z","timestamp":1691160267000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0031-1298446"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,5]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"05","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,24]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,5]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0031-1298446","relation":{},"ISSN":["0016-5751","1438-8804"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0016-5751","type":"print"},{"value":"1438-8804","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,5]]}}}
