Diagnostic significance and predictive efficiency of metabolic risk score for fertility-sparing treatment in patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia and early endometrial carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aims to assess the impact of the metabolic risk score (MRS) on time to achieve complete remission (CR) of fertility-sparing treatments for atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) and early endometrial cancer (EC) patients.

Methods

Univariate and multivariate cox analyses were employed to identify independent risk factors affecting the time to CR with patients at our center. These factors were subsequently incorporated into receiver operator characteristic curve analysis and decision curve analysis to assess the predictive accuracy of time to CR. Additionally, Kaplan-Meier analysis was utilized to determine the cumulative CR rate for patients.

Results

The 173 patients who achieved CR following fertility preservation treatment (FPT) were categorized into three subgroups based on their time to CR (<6, 6-9, >9 months). Body mass index (hazard ratio [HR]=0.20; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.03, 0.38; p=0.026), MRS (HR=0.31; 95% CI=0.09, 0.52; p=0.005), insulin resistance (HR=1.83; 95% CI=0.05, 3.60; p=0.045), menstruation regularity (HR=3.77; 95% CI=1.91, 5.64; p=0.001), polycystic ovary syndrome (HR=-2.16; 95% CI=-4.03, -0.28; p=0.025), and histological type (HR=0.36; 95% CI=0.10, 0.62; p=0.005) were identified as risk factors for time to CR, with MRS being the independent risk factor (HR=0.29; 95% CI=0.02, 0.56; p=0.021). The inclusion of MRS significantly enhanced the predictive accuracy of time to CR (area under the curve [AUC]=0.789 for Model 1, AUC=0.862 for Model 2, p=0.032). Kaplan-Meier survival curves revealed significant differences in the cumulative CR rate among different risk groups.

Conclusion

MRS emerges as a novel evaluation system that substantially enhances the predictive accuracy for the time to achieve CR in AEH and early EC patients seeking fertility preservation.
