Abstract
Objective:To determine the diagnostic accuracy of the Ianieri Hysteroscopic Risk scoring
system (IHRSS) in the diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma
among Filipino women who underwent hysteroscopy for abnormal uterine bleeding and
thickened endometrium in a tertiary hospital
Patients and Methods:This is a cross-sectional study (chart review) of patients who
underwent hysteroscopy for abnormal uterine bleeding and thickened endometrium in a
tertiary hospital from Aprill 2015-December 2017. Hysteroscopic videos were viewed and
scored according to the Ianieri Hysteroscopic Risk Scoring System (IHRSS) and compared to
histopathologic reports. Sensitivity, specificity, Positive and Negative Predictive Values were
computed for 4 categories: 1) Normal Endometrium (NE); 2) Non-Atypical Hyperplasia (EH);
3) Atypical Hyperplasia (AEH); and 4) Endometrial Carcinoma (EC).
Results:This paper showed showed a sensitivity and specificity of 94.6% and 82.5% for NE;
66.7% and 98.4% for EH; 100% and 98.4% for AEH; and 100% and 100% for EC. The positive
predictive values and negative predictive values were 96.5% and 75% for NE, 63.6% and
96.5% for EH, 57.4% and 100% for AEH, and 100% and 100% for EC.
Conclusion:The IHRSS showed good diagnostic accuracy in diagnosing endometrial carcinoma and hyperplasia among patients who presented with abnormal uterine bleeding. This may prove to be a good diagnostic tool for hysteroscopists and may aid in intraoperative clinical and surgical judgment.
