Abstract:
Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of ultrasound for retained products of conceptions com-plicated with uterine arteriovenous fistula(UAVF)after early pregnancy miscarriage and the predictive value for massive bleeding by constructing a risk model for bleeding.Methods:A total of 90 patients who were diagnosed by ultrasound in West China Second Hospital of Sichuan University as having retained products of conceptions complicated with UAVF after early pregnancy miscarriage from July 2013 to September 2021 were selected,among which 37 cases underwent digital subtraction angiography(DSA).Clinical and ultrasound data were collected and statistical analysis was conducted on the ultrasound parameters of whether DSA examination was accompanied by UAVF and whether there was major bleeding(spontaneous and intraoperative).We performed multivariate Lo-gistic regression analysis on parameters with statistical differences,plotted receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve for predicting major bleeding(spontaneous and intraoperative),and calculated the area under the curve(AUC).Results:① After DSA examination,14 out of 37 patients(37.8%)were diagnosed with UAVF based on ultrasound diagnosis of pregnancy residue combined with UAVF.Univariate and multivariate Logistic an-alyses showed that the expanding inner diameter of blood vessels was an independent risk factor for residual pregnancy products combined with UAVF after early pregnancy miscarriage(OR 37.099,P=0.027).ROC curve analysis revealed that dilated vessel diameter had an AUC of 0.78,sensitivity of 64%,specificity of 91%,and an optimal cut-off value of 0.85 cm for the diagnosis of UAVF.②Out of 90 patients,44(48.9%)experienced sponta-neous massive bleeding.Univariate and multivariate Logistic analyses showed that the presence of vascular pools or dilated vessels was an independent risk factor for spontaneous massive bleeding(OR 5.163,P=0.004).③A-mong70 patients undergoing surgical treatment,7 experienced intraoperative bleeding(11.7%).Univariate and multivariate Logistic analyses showed that the enlargement of the maximum diameter of the lesion was an inde-pendent risk factor for intraoperative massive bleeding(OR 7.278,P=0.007).ROC curve analysis revealed that the AUC of the maximum diameter of the lesion for predicting the risk of intraoperative bleeding was 0.92,with a sensitivity of 100%,specificity of 82%,and an optimal threshold of 3.95 cm.Conclusions:Dilated vessel diameter in ultrasound examination parameters has high diagnostic value for residual pregnancy products combined with UAVF after early pregnancy miscarriage.Patients with vascular pools or dilated vessels and large lesions have a higher risk of spontaneous and intraoperative bleeding,and clinical prediction models can be used to assess risk of bleeding.
