Abstract:
Objective:Uterine adhesion is mainly caused by endometrial injury,leading to poor postoperative pregnancy outcome.Therefore,preoperative evaluation on uterine cavity,especially endometrial condition,is very necessary.This study aims to explore the correlation between preoperative three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound(3D-TVS)imaging characteristics and postoperative pregnancy outcomes after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis(HA). Methods:A total of 401 patients,who underwent HA surgery from February 22,2018 to October 31,2018 at the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University or Changsha Jiangwan Hospital,were enrolled,and we collected data regarding the preoperative 3D-TVS imaging characteristics and followed up their postoperative pregnancy outcomes.Correlation analysis and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed between imaging features and pregnancy outcomes(live and non-live birth outcomes)in patients with intrauterine adhesion. Results:The results of correlation analysis showed that endometrial thickness,endometrial echo,visible tubal openings,endometrial blood flow,intercornual distance,and endometrial peristalsis were correlated with the live birth rate(all P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis revealed that in the HA patients with the live birth,the endometrial thickness was thicker(P<0.001),endometrial echo was more homogeneous(P<0.001),the number of tubal openings was more(P<0.001),the intercornual distance was wider(P<0.05),the endometrial blood flow,and irregular cases of endometrial peristaltic waves were more and cases of deficiency were fewer(both P<0.01)than those in the non-live birth group. Conclusion:Preoperative 3D-TVS imaging performance is closely related to pregnancy outcomes of HA patients,and preoperative 3D-TVS can be used to predict pregnancy outcomes after HA.
