Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
1 Year Pregnancy Rate
Pregnancy rate is defined as the cumulative percentage of pregnancies occuring within the time frame. The primary endpoint for this study is the pregnancy prevention rate after one year of reliance on the Adiana System for pregnancy prevention. The pregnancy rate was evaluated for all participants who underwent successful bilateral treatment and who had demonstrated tubal occlusion by hysterosalpingogram (HSG) at the end of the Waiting Period.
