Key Results
Among working women, the efficacy of LAM is found to be 5.2%, whereas the previous study of non-working women yielded an efficacy of 0.45%.

Conclusion
Our recommendation is that returning to work should be considered a risk factor in the use of LAM and women should be informed of this.
