Objective. To create a prediction model including clinical variables for the prediction of premalignant/malignant endometrial pathology in premenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). Methods. This is an observational retrospective study including 240 premenopausal women with AUB referred to diagnostic hysteroscopy. Based on the presence of endometrial hyperplasia (EH) or cancer (EC), the women were divided into cases (EH/EC) and controls (no EH/EC). Univariate, stepwise logistic regression and ROC curve analysis were performed. Results. 12 women had EH/EC (5%). Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that EH/EC associated significantly with BMI ≥ 30 (OR=7.70, 95% CI 1.90 to 31.17), diabetes (OR=9.71, 95% CI 1.63 to 57.81), and a thickened endometrium (OR=1.20, 95% CI 1.08 to 1.34, criterion > 11 mm). The AUC was 0.854 (95% confidence intervals 0.803 to 0.896, p<0.0001). Considering the pretest probability for EH/EC of 5%, the prediction model with a positive likelihood ratio of 8.14 showed a posttest probability of 30%. The simultaneous presence of two or three risk factors was significantly more common in women with EH/EC than controls (50% vs. 6.6 and 25% vs. 0%, respectively, p<0.0001). Conclusion. When premenopausal vaginal bleeding occurs in diabetic obese women with ET > 11 mm, the percentage of premalignant/malignant endometrial pathology increases by 25%. It is likely that the simultaneous presence of several risk factors is necessary to significantly increase the probability of endometrial pathology.

Endometrial Pathology

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the most common indications for hysteroscopy. Most of the AUB cases occur due to endometrial or myometrium pathology. Among it, endometrial polyps (EP) and chronic endometritis (CE) prevalent in reproductive age, while endometrial hyperplasia (EH) and EP dominate in perimenopause. It was determined that EP and CE are characterized with menorrhagia and metrorrhagia approximately equally, whereas EH reveals AUB with oligomenorrhoea. Verification of exact endometrial pathology by ultrasound examination is hindered, that results in deviations of ultrasound and histological diagnosis. The usage of ultrasound data and AUB’s characteristics may improve the diagnostic accuracy on preadmission period.

Background: As the rate of obesity is increasing in women in the recent years, the incidence of endometrial cancer increases as the body mass index (BMI) increases. Despite the clear evidence linking endometrial cancer and obesity, there is limited public awareness of this relationship. This study was undertaken to evaluate the association of BMI and endometrial pathology in premenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB).Methods: An analytical case control study was conducted in 100 women between the age group of 40 to 55, with AUB in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, ESIC-PGIMSR Bangalore between January 2018 and June 2019. The menstrual patterns and endometrial pattern by histopathology were analysed in women with BMI of 18.5 to 24.99 and ≥25.Results: The mean age of women participated in the study group of between 40- 55 years was 44.83. The mean duration of symptoms was 10.18 months in the cases group and 8.52 months in the control group. The menstrual patterns were comparable and there was no significant difference in both the groups. The mean endometrial thickness, mean BMI, hyperplasia with or without atypia were all higher in the cases group. The frequency of occurrence of atypical endometrial hyperplasia was higher in women with increasing BMI.Conclusions: We found increased BMI to be an important independent risk factor for the development of endometrial hyperplasia with atypia which is a precursor to endometrial carcinoma in premenopausal women with AUB.

Background: Abnormal Uterine Bleeding is defined as any deviation from a normal menstrual pattern. It is one of the common presentation in extremes of ages. However endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma are commoner in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women warranting investigations like ultrasonography and endometrial biopsy.Aims and Objective: The aim of the study was to note the endometrial thickness by transabdominal ultrasonography and observe the histopathological pattern in women presenting with abnormal Uterine Bleeding.Material and Methods: Premenopausal women more than 45 years of age and the postmenopausal patients, without any pelvic pathology were included in the study. Endometrial thickness was measured by transabdominal sonography and endometrial biopsy was done. Tissue obtained was sent for histopathological examination.Results: A total of 105 patients were studied. Majority (92%) of patients were premenopausal. Proliferative Endometrium (32%) was the most common finding in premenopausal and atrophic endometrium (37.5%) in postmenopausal group. Malignancy was higher in a postmenopausal group (12.5%) as compared to the premenopausal group (2%). Malignancy was not seen when endometrial thickness was less than 11mm in the premenopausal age group. Endometrial hyperplasia was also more common when the thickness was more than 11mm.In postmenopausal group12.5% of patients, had complex hyperplasia.25% had simple hyperplasia and malignancy was seen in 12.5% of patients. When endometrial thickness was less than 5 mm, hyperplasia and malignancy was not seen.Conclusion: Measurement of Endometrial thickness and histopathological workup in patients above 45 years presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding will be helpful in detecting endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.9(2) 2018 31-35

Introduction: Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) is very common and major public health issue. AUB along with its sub-group often affects 14.25% women of reproductive age and have major impact on their physical, social, emotional and material quality of life. It not only has direct impact on the woman and her family, but also on both economy and health services. Aim: To compare Magnetic Resonance (MR) hysterography and Sonohysterography (SSHG) for detection of uterine pathologies in women with AUB. Materials and Methods: An interventional cross-sectional study was conducted over a period from July 2019 to July 2020, among 30 patients with severe AUB. SSHG and MR hysterography were used to assess endometrial pathology, and endometrial pathology was assessed by both the diagnostic modality and considering histopathology as gold standard. We calculate sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for both the diagnostic modalities. Results: Very good agreement was noted in case of the cervical carcinoma whilst fibroid and endometrial hyperplasia showed good and fair agreement respectively by both the diagnostic modality. Sensitivity of fibroid and cervical carcinoma was 100%, polyp was 33.33%, and endometrial hyperplasia was 87.50%. Whereas specificity of fibroid was 91.67%, endometrial hyperplasia was 86.30% and cervical carcinoma was 100%. Polyp and submucosal fibroid both showed 96.30% specificity. For pathology like cervical carcinoma, endometrial hyperplasia, fibroid had very high agreement with kappa value 1, 0.684 and 0.814 respectively, whereas agreement for two tests for pathology like submucous fibroid, dual pathology was less. Conclusion: MR Hysterography and Sonohysterography were having almost equal sensitivity and specificity for abnormal uterine bleeding and can be used as per patient preference, patient discomfort, and availability of investigation.

Objective: To determine the endometrial histology in abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) patients with risk factors. Method: This study involved 30 patients with complaints of AUB, aged over 35 years with associated risk factors of parity, obesity and fasting blood glucose in the outpatient clinic at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou General Hospital Manado, from July 2013 until October 2013. Patients who agreed to be involved in this study, underwent dilatation and curettage (D&C) to assess the endometrial histology that was grouped as the hyperplasia and non-hyperplasia groups. Result: From the results of the study, 7 patients were in the 35-40 years age group (23.3%) and in the 41-50 years age group were 23 patients (76.7%). Based on parity, 11 patients (36.7%) were nulliparous and 19 patients (63.3%) were multiparous. Based on the BMI, 16 patients (53.5%) were obese and 14 patients (46.7%) were non-obese. And based on the results of fasting blood sugar, similar results was obtained in normal and abnormal fasting blood glucose with the results of 15 patients in each groups (50%). And from all of patients who underwent D&C, endometrial hyperplasia was shown in 21 patients (70%) and non-hyperplasia endometrium in 9 patients (30%). From the results of Fischer exact test, a significantly high association was obtained between BMI and fasting blood glucose with the occurrence of endometrial hyperplasia. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between BMI and high fasting blood glucose with endometrial hyperplasia.

Background: Endoscopic primary bile reflux is one of the main diagnostic criteria for bile reflux gastritis (BRG). Presently, the risk factors and prediction models of endoscopic primary bile reflux (EPBR) in gastropathy patients who cannot or will not undergo endoscopy due to contraindications are not clear. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the risk factors of EPBR and to establish and verify a prediction model.Methods: A series of 844 patients (564 subjects with EPBR and 280 control subjects) were retrospectively selected for this study and divided into a training set (n = 591) and a validation set (n = 253) according to the usual ratio of 70:30% for the subsequent internal validation of the logistic regression model for EPBR. Fifteen parameters that might affect the occurrence of EPBR were collected. Subsequently, univariate and stepwise logistic regression analyses were introduced to reveal the risk factors and the multivariate prediction model. An R package was dedicated to the corresponding internal validation of the EPBR model.Results: The univariate analysis showed that gender, age, smoking, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection status, metabolic syndrome (MS), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use history, and previous medical histories of chronic liver diseases, cholelithiasis, and erosive gastritis were statistically significant between the two groups (P &lt; 0.05). Multivariate regression described that being a male [OR (95%confidence interval (CI)) = 2.29 (1.50–3.50), P &lt; 0.001], age≥45 years old [OR (95% CI) = 4.24 (2.59–6.96), P &lt; 0.001], H. pylori infection status [OR (95% CI) = 2.34 (1.37–4.01), P = 0.002], MS [OR (95% CI) = 3.14 (1.77–5.54), P &lt; 0.001], NSAIDs use history [OR (95% CI) = 1.87 (1.03–3.40), P = 0.04], cholelithiasis history [OR (95% CI) = 3.95 (2.18–7.18), P &lt; 0.001] and erosive gastritis history [OR (95% CI) = 6.77 (3.73–12.29), P &lt; 0.001] were the risk factors for the occurrence of EPBR. Based on the results of these risk factors, an EPBR prediction model with an adequate calibration and excellent discrimination was established [area under the curve (AUC): 0.839, 95% CI = 0.806–0.872].Conclusions: Being a male, age ≥ 45 years old, H. pylori infection, histories of MS, NSAIDs use, cholelithiasis, and erosive gastritis appear to be the risk factors for EPBR, and our favorable prediction model might be an option for the prediction of EPBR.
