Methods Women were given choice for Cu‐IUD or ECPs and those choosing ECPs were randomly allocated to 2 ECP groups. Method of randomization not reported
Participants 150 women attending the family planning clinics in Shandong, China. Women had regular menstrual periods and a single act of unprotected intercourse within 120 h of attending the clinic
Interventions Mife 10 mg single dose vs LNG 0.75 mg, 2 doses, 12 h apart
As noted above, this study had three treatment arms, but the Cu‐IUD comparison was not randomized. Hence, we excluded this comparison and included only the mifepristone vs levonorgestrel comparison
Outcomes Observed number of pregnancies, side effects and changes in menstrual pattern
Notes
  1. Post‐randomisation exclusion and loss to follow‐up not reported

  2. Observed pregnancy/expected pregnant/total number women: Mife 1/3/50; LNG 1/4/50
