Abstract

Background: Women of all ages are susceptible to abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), a relatively frequent gynecological issue. In the gynecology outpatient department, abnormal uterine bleeding is a problem that affects one-third of the patients, making them feel less financially secure and have a lower quality of life. Our study aimed to determine the endometrial histological patterns and factors associated with abnormal uterine bleeding among women seeking gynecological services from referral hospitals in western Uganda.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2023 to September 2023. We systematically enrolled 361 participants after getting consent. A structured questionnaire was used to collect information needed for analysis. The endometrial samples were collected immediately from eligible patients with Abnormal Uterine bleeding and taken to the histopathology laboratory for examination. Descriptive statistics followed by binary logistic regression were conducted to achieve the study objectives.

Results: The study enrolled 361 participants with the mean age was 32.7 years (SD = 12.5). Of the total participants, 54(14.96%) had Abnormal Uterine bleeding. The common endometrial histological patterns among women with Abnormal uterine bleeding were; proliferative endometrium 21(38.9%), simple endometrial hyperplasia without atypia 11(20.4%), and secretory Endometrium 6 (11.1%). Women with BMI ranging between 25 and 29.9 [aOR = 5.61 (1.42-22.19), p = 0.014], those with a history of genital infection in the past 1 year [aOR = 2.49 (1.2-5.13),p = 0.013], those who were nulliparous [ aOR = 13.31( 4.94-35.82), p = 0.001], Primiparous [aOR = 4.32( 1.83-10.16), p ≤ 0.001] and women who reported HIV positive serostatus [aOR = 3.65(1.74-7.66), p = 0.001] were independently associated with Abnormal Uterine Bleeding at Fort portal Regional Referral hospital.

Conclusions and recommendations: The prevalence of AUB was within the global range. Simple endometrial hyperplasia without atypia and chronic endometritis were the commonest pathological patterns. BMI, History of genital infection, nulliparity, primiparity, and HIV serostatus were the factors that were independently associated with abnormal uterine bleeding. There is a need for routine endometrial sampling for all eligible women with abnormal uterine bleeding at FRRH.

在西乌干达转诊医院寻求妇科服务的妇女子宫内膜组织学模式和异常子宫出血的相关因素:一项横断面研究。
背景:所有年龄段的女性都容易发生子宫异常出血(AUB),这是一个相对常见的妇科问题。在妇科门诊,子宫异常出血是一个困扰三分之一患者的问题,使他们在经济上感到不安全,生活质量下降。我们的研究旨在确定在乌干达西部转诊医院寻求妇科服务的妇女中子宫内膜组织学模式和与子宫异常出血相关的因素。方法:于2023年6月至2023年9月进行横断面研究。在获得同意后,我们系统地招募了361名参与者。使用结构化问卷收集分析所需的信息。从符合条件的子宫异常出血患者立即采集子宫内膜样本,并带到组织病理学实验室进行检查。通过描述性统计和二元逻辑回归来实现研究目标。结果:研究纳入了361名参与者,平均年龄为32.7岁(SD = 12.5)。其中子宫异常出血54例(14.96%)。子宫异常出血妇女常见的子宫内膜组织学类型有:增殖性子宫内膜21例(38.9%),单纯子宫内膜增生无异型11例(20.4%),分泌性子宫内膜6例(11.1%)。女性BMI介于25 - 29.9(优势比= 5.61 (1.42 - -22.19),p = 0.014),这些历史的生殖器感染在过去1年(优势比= 2.49 (1.2 - -5.13),p = 0.013),那些未生育过的(优势比= 13.31 (4.94 - -35.82),p = 0.001),初产的(优势比= 4.32 (1.83 - -10.16),p≤0.001)和女性HIV阳性serostatus(优势比= 3.65 (1.74 - -7.66),p = 0.001)分别与有关异常子宫出血堡门户地区转诊医院。结论和建议:AUB的患病率在全球范围内。无异型的单纯子宫内膜增生和慢性子宫内膜炎是最常见的病理类型。BMI、生殖器感染史、无产、初产、HIV血清状态是与子宫异常出血独立相关的因素。有必要对所有符合条件的妇女在FRRH异常子宫出血常规子宫内膜取样。
