A total of 588 cases of surgical sterilization performed atthe same time served as the controls. Results: Two groups had similardemographic and gynecological characteristics. The multiple decrement lifetable analysis showed that the 12th month gross cumulative failure rate forquinacrine sterilization was 3.13% . Serious side effects occurred in 2 cases(0.35%); one is ectopic pregnancy (20 months after treatment) and theother, allergy reaction (10 minutes after the second insertion). The liverand renal functions were all normal in both groups. No cance cells/suspect-ed cancer cells were found. In the quinacrine group, the acceptability was99.6% . Conclusions: The quinacrine method has a high acceptability,but the efficacy is relatively low. It is a safe method of contraception inshort-term study, while the long-term safety warrants further investigation.展开更多
