Background Signal intensity (SI) of predominant fibroid (F1) on T2-weighted (T2W) images is useful for predicting the volume reduction response after gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-agonist treatment. Few studies have been published regarding when and how to use GnRH agonist before UAE. Purpose To investigate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) prediction of volume reduction rate (VRR) of large fibroids after GnRH-agonist treatment before uterine artery embolization (UAE) as well as the efficacy of UAE based on MRI. Material and Methods Data from 30 patients with a large fibroid and MRI results both before and after GnRH-agonist treatment were retrospectively analyzed. Indications for GnRH-agonist treatment are fibroids with a maximum diameter ≥10 cm or pedunculated submucosal fibroids ≥8 cm. GnRH agonist (3.75 mg leuprolide acetate) was administered subcutaneously once per month 2–6 times. SI of F1 on T2W imaging was measured: the SI was referenced to the SI of the rectus abdominis muscle (F/R). Results Mean maximum fibroid diameter was 11.1 ± 1.9 cm (range = 8.0–15.5 cm). Mean number of GnRH-agonist injections before UAE was 2.8 (range = 2–6). For predicting VRR ≥50% and <30%, the optimal cut-off values of F/R were 2.58 (sensitivity 80%, specificity 80%) and 1.69 (sensitivity 100%, specificity 70%), respectively. Of the 30 patients, fibroid infarction was complete in 29 (96.7%). Conclusion SI of F1 on T2W imaging is useful for predicting the volume reduction response after GnRH-agonist treatment. After GnRH-agonist treatment for large fibroids, UAE is effective to achieve complete infarction of fibroids.

Objective: To assess of the quality of life before and after uterine artery embolization (UAE) for uterine leiomyoma. Methods: A survey of 15 women aged 23 to 47 years was conducted using the UFS-QOL questionnaire. The number of fibroids varied from 1 to 6. Fibroids were mainly localized: submucosal (53.3%), intramural (20%), and subserosal (26.7%). Their volume varied in the range of 25.04-294.09 ml. The dominant syndrome in 7 cases was hemorrhagic, in 7 – compression, and in 1 case – their combination. All women underwent UAE. The survey was conducted four times: before, 3, 6 and 12 months after UAE. Results: According to symptom severity subscale of the UFS-QOL questionnaire (8 questions), there was a significant improvement in symptoms 12 months after UAE in comparison with the baseline: a decrease of mean score from 43.3 to 14.0 (p<0.001). Analysis of the health related quality of life (HRQL) subscale (29 questions) also showed a significant improvement in the quality of life after 12 months compared to the initial level: an increase of mean score from 54.3 to 82.8 (p<0.001). The most significant dynamics (p<0.001) was noted for such domains «Concern», «Activities», «Energy/mood», and «Control» (p<0.001). The mean scores for the above domains increased from the baseline values 53.3±16.0; 56.4±18.4; 42.9±18.0 and 53.7±20.1 to 86.0±11.2; 86.9±11.6; 75.2±10.0 and 81.3±11.2 points after 12 months, respectively. For 2 other subsections of the HRQL «Self-consciousness» and «Sexual function», the mean score changes slightly differed: 67.2±32.2 and 71.7±32.9 (initially) and 85.0±12.3 and 86.7±22.4 (after 12 months) (p<0.05 and p<0.01, respectively). The total HRQL mean score also significantly (p<0.001) increased by month 12 from the baseline of 54.3±14.7 to 82.8±7.4. Conclusions: The UFS-QOL questionnaire is a very informative tool for assessing both the severity of the symptoms of uterine fibroids and the quality of life of women who underwent uterine artery embolization. According to the results of the UFS-QOL, a significant dynamics was obtained with respect to both the regression of symptoms of uterine fibroids, and the improvement of all parameters of the quality of life. Keywords: Uterine leiomyoma, uterine artery embolization, quality of life, UFS-QOL questionnaire.
