The participants received Implanon, an etonorgestril implant, under local anaesthesia, and were followed up for 12 months for possible side effects. Data was analysed using SPSS 26.\r\nResults: There were 115 women with mean age 29.8\u00b16 years (range: 15-44 years) and mean body mass index 27\u00b14.9 kg\/m2. Early discontinuation of the plant was done by 32(27.8%) subjects, and the overall incidence of early Implanon removal per 1,000 women per month was 14.47 (95% confidence interval: 10.24-20.47). Lower body mass index, dizziness and insertion-site side effects were the potential determinants of early discontinuation (p&lt;0.05).\r\nConclusions: More than a quarter of the sample opted for early Implanon discontinuation. Low body mass index, dizziness and insertion-site side effects were potential determinants of early removal.\r\nKey Words: Etonogestrel, Anaesthesia, Dizziness, Gynaecology, Incidence, Contraception<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.47391\/jpma-bagh-16-24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,8]],"date-time":"2024-10-08T14:22:33Z","timestamp":1728397353000},"page":"S105-S110","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Potential determinants of early discontinuation of Etonogestrel implant: a cohort prospective study"],"prefix":"10.47391","volume":"74","author":[{"family":"Zeena Helmi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"26547","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,28]]},"container-title":["Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/jpma.org.pk\/index.php\/public_html\/article\/download\/21801\/3636","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/jpma.org.pk\/index.php\/public_html\/article\/download\/21801\/3636","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,11]],"date-time":"2024-10-11T14:23:29Z","timestamp":1728656609000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/jpma.org.pk\/index.php\/public_html\/article\/view\/21801"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,28]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"10 (Supple-08)","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,28]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.47391\/jpma-bagh-16-24","relation":{},"ISSN":["0030-9982","0030-9982"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"0030-9982"},{"type":"print","value":"0030-9982"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,28]]}}}
