Brief summary
To determine the predictive factors of endometrial ablation failure in the management of uterine bleeding.
Detailed description
This is a retrospective cohort study for women who have been treated with Thermal endometrial ablation due to uterine bleeding. The main purpose of this study is to demonstrate the possible risk factors associated with endometrial ablation failure causing patients to need subsequent gynecological procedures or undergoing hysterectomy for definitive treatment. Such efforts are made in order to anticipate the morbidity and mortality associated with patients in such conditions and to effectively stratify those patients to appropriate treatment techniques.
Interventions
PROCEDUREEndometrial Ablation
Thermal endometrial ablation
PROCEDURERepeated gynecological procedure
subsequent gynecological procedures such as hysterectomy for any benign indication, D&C or repeat ablation.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical Predictive factors of successful endometrial ablation | from September 2016 through February 2022 | the outcome of hysteroscopic endometrial ablation whether it was a failure or a success; failure was defined as persistent of heavy bleeding after the ablation. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The failure rate of endometrial ablation for uterine bleeding | from September 2016 through February 2022 | To find the failure rate of endometrial ablation that is done for uterine bleeding |
| Subsequent gynecological procedures after failed ablation | from September 2016 through February 2022 | To find the subsequent gynecological procedures that patients with unsuccessful ablation had |
