Predictive Value of Live Birth Rate Based on Different Intrauterine Adhesion Evaluation Systems Following

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of five different intrauterine adhesion (IUA) evaluation systems for live birth rate following transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA).Method: This retrospective study included 128 women with IUA who desired for spontaneous conception after TCRA. All the patients were retrospectively scored by the American Fertility Society (AFS) classification, European Society of Gynecological Endoscopy (ESGE) classification, March’s classification (March), Nasr’s classification (Nasr) and Chinese IUA diagnosis classification criteria (Chinese). The predictive value of these evaluation systems was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under a ROC curve (AUC).Results: The correlation coefficients of AFS, ESGE, March, Nasr and Chinese classification and the live birth rate were 0.282, 0.324, 0.260, 0.418, 0.364, respectively. All five scoring systems were efficient to predict live birth rate. Among them, Nasr’s classification showed the highest AUC (0.748) with the best predictive value.Conclusion: AFS, ESGE, March, Nasr and Chinese classification were demonstrated to be capable of predicting live birth following TCRA, and Nasr’s classification showed the highest predictive value of live birth.
