Abstract

Purpose: This study systematically assesses the correlation between asymptomatic endometrial thickening after the age of 50 and the risk of endometrial cancer (EC).

Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted using the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, ProQuest, and Chinese biomedical literature databases Wanfang, Weipu, and CNG until August 2022. The included literature was analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software to explore heterogeneity in each study.

Results: Five studies were finally included. The assessment of odds ratio (OR) heterogeneity between women with endometrial thickening and the risk of EC showed P = .18, I2=95%, indicating significant heterogeneity. A random-effects model was applied for meta-analysis, revealing a result of 0.96, 95% CI (0.92, 1.02), P = .18, indicating no statistical significance between the two groups (P > .05). The funnel plot demonstrated asymmetry, suggesting evident publication bias.

Conclusion: There is no consistent correlation between asymptomatic endometrial thickening and the occurrence of EC in individuals over 50 years of age.

关于 50 岁以上女性无症状子宫内膜增厚及其与子宫内膜癌风险关系的 Meta 分析。

目的：本研究系统评估了50岁以后无症状子宫内膜增厚与子宫内膜癌（EC）风险之间的相关性：利用Cochrane图书馆、Web of Science、PubMed、ProQuest和中国生物医学文献数据库万方、维普和CNG进行了全面检索，检索期至2022年8月。使用RevMan 5.3软件对纳入的文献进行分析，以探讨每项研究的异质性：结果：最终纳入了五项研究。子宫内膜增厚妇女与EC风险之间的几率比（OR）异质性评估显示P=0.18，I2=95%，表明存在显著异质性。采用随机效应模型进行荟萃分析，结果为0.96，95% CI (0.92，1.02)，P = .18，表明两组间无统计学意义（P > .05）。漏斗图显示不对称，表明存在明显的发表偏倚：结论：在50岁以上的人群中，无症状子宫内膜增厚与EC的发生之间没有一致的相关性。

期刊介绍： Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
