Clinical characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of infertile patients with endometriosis and endometrial polyps: A retrospective cohort study

The association of endometriosis with placenta previa and postpartum hemorrhage: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…6,7,15,16,21,28−41 The eligible studies were published between 2010 and 2020, all of which were retrospective studies, and none was a randomized controlled study; all studies were comparator studies. 6,7,15,16,21,28−41 Nearly a third of the studies were from Europe (n=8 [42.1%]), 6,7,15,28,32,34,35,38 followed by Japan (n=4 [21.1%]), 16,36,37,40 China (n=3 [15.8%]), 29,33,39 Korea (n=1 [5.3%]), 21 Israel (n=1 [5.3%]), 30 Canada (n=1 [5.3%]), 31 and Australia (n=1 [5.3%]). 41 All 19 studies examined the effect of endometriosis on the incidence of placenta previa (Table 1).…”

“…Of the included studies, 11 examined the effect of endometriosis on the rate of PPH Systematic Review (Table 2). 6,15,16,21,[29][30][31][32][33][34]41 Furthermore, 3 studies performed sensitivity analyses in which the rate of PPH was stratified according to the route of delivery (Table 3). 6,7,16 Risk of bias of included studies.…”

“…Among the 19 studies, the definition of endometriosis was clarified in 14 studies. 6,7,15,16,28,29,32 −39 Of these, endometriosis was confirmed histopathologically in 10 instances, 6,7,15,29,[32][33][34]36,38,39 whereas 4 others were confirmed histopathologically and clinically. 16,28,35,37 Simultaneously, 11 studies determined the effect of endometriosis on the rate of PPH, 6,15,16,21,[29][30][31][32][33][34]41 and 4 studies clarified the definition of PPH.…”

Focus on the Primary Prevention of Intrauterine Adhesions: Current Concept and Vision

“…Among the tools used to diagnose IUA or to evaluate the severity of IUA, hysteroscopy [ 43 ], similar to the role of laparoscopy in the assistance of clinically uncertain diagnoses of pelvic abnormalities [ 44 , 45 , 46 ], is a gold standard, which is also frequently used in studies to compare other diagnostic tools [ 28 , 29 ]. Although hysteroscopy is widely used in the diagnosis of IUA, there are some limitations to hysteroscopy.…”

“…Therefore, efforts should be made to minimize the risk of occurrence of IUA. IUA seems to be a frequent and major long-term complication in patients who undergo hysteroscopic surgery for certain diseases (submucosal myomas, adhesiolysis, septum or fibrosis of the intrauterine cavity [ 2 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ], or repeated abortion surgery [ 27 ]. The risk of IUA after hysteroscopic myomectomy was determined to be as much as 31 to 78% [ 2 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ], and over 30% after repeated abortion surgery, for which the times of the abortion surgery were strongly correlated with the risk of IUA development [ 27 ].…”
