Objective 　To evaluate the effectiveness of TCu380AIUD comparing with other common IUDs.
Methods 　CBMDISC (1979 to 2005), Wanfang (1994 to 2005), CNKI (1974 to 2005), CMCC (1979 to 2005), CMAC (1994 to 2005), EMbase (1974 to 2004), MEDLINE (1974 to 2005), WHO/RHL (2004 to 2005), The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2004), SCI (1985 to 2005), POPLINE (1966 to 2003) and 9 relevant journals were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing TCu380AIUD with other common IUDs. The quality of included trials was critically appraised. RevMan4.2.7 software was used for statistical analysis.
Results 　Fifteen published studies involving 20 417 participants were included. The results of meta-analyses were expressed with OR (cumulative expulsion rate, cumulative pregnancy rate, cumulative rate of removing for medical reasons) and 95% CI. Compared with TCu380A, TCu220C resulted in lower cumulative expulsion rate at 0.5 and 1 year of follow-up [OR 0.36 (0.18 to 0.70); 0.44 (0.31 to 0.62), respectively], higher cumulative pregnancy rate at ten years of follow-up [1.22 (1.04 to 1.43)], lower cumulative rate of removing for medical reasons at 0.5 year of follow-up [0.59 (0.36 to 0.97)]; MLCu375 resulted in higher cumulative expulsion rate at 1 year of follow-up [2.17 (1.29 to 3.67)], higher cumulative pregnancy rate at 1 and 2 years of follow-up [1.72 (1.18 to 2.50); 1.28 (1.02 to 1.60)]; UCD300 resulted in lower cumulative expulsion rate at five years of follow-up [0.38 (0.27 to 0.56)]; Medicated Gamma 380IUD resulted in lower cumulative rate of removing for medical reasons at 1 year of follow-up [0.31 (0.14 to 0.70)].
Conclusions 　Compared with TCu380A which is considered as a standard of IUDs, the performance of TCu220C is inferior in contraception, but TCu220C is also a good IUD in performance; The overall clinical performance of MLCu375IUD was as good as that of TCu380A; UCD300 is of the characteristic of lower cumulative expulsion rate; Medicated Gamma 380IUD can decrease side effects effectively. However, larger multi-center randomized comparative trials with longer follow-up periods are needed to confirm the conclusion
