In the United States and Canada, LNG-ECP is available over-thecounter (OTC) at pharmacies, but a prescription is required for UPA-ECP.…”

In certain nations, the emergency department (ED) has been designated as the primary center to provide emergency contraception (EC). However, analyses of ED visits for EC are limited. Moreover, ED-based research that focuses on time is limited to only a few surveys. The aims of this study were to examine the characteristics of ED visitors for EC and the interval between the coitus and arrival at the ED, and to analyze the factors associated with delays in visiting the ED. This retrospective cohort study involved patients at 2 urban tertiary academic hospitals in South Korea. All patients who presented to the ED for EC between January 2019 and December 2021 were analyzed. The median age of the participants was 26 years. The most common variables were age of 20 to 29 years (42.0%), evening visits (34.9%), weekends or public holidays (62.6%), single status (89.2%), and visits after contraceptive failure (79.1%). The mean time interval was 7.49 hours, and 77.4% of all patients visited the ED within 12 hours. Patients who received public sex education presented earlier (P < .001). ED visits after nonconsensual sexual incidents represented significantly delayed presentations (P < .001). Regression analysis revealed that both the lack of public education and the occurrence of nonconsensual coitus were associated with incident-to-ED visit intervals of >12 hours. Most patients received emergency contraceptive pill (ECP) within the recommended timeframe. In particular, nationwide school-based public sex education positively affected early ECP access. In contrast, ECP provision was delayed for patients who experienced nonconsensual coitus. Strategies for timely ECP access should account for possible concerns about stigmatization and privacy.
