Patterns of utilization and outcome of ovarian conservation for young women with minimal-risk endometrial cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To profile patient characteristics associated with and outcomes of ovarian conservation at the time of hysterectomy in young women with minimal-risk endometrial cancer.

Methods

A population-based retrospective analysis of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample between 2007 and 2015 was performed. Women aged <50 with minimal-risk endometrial cancer who had ovarian conservation (n = 2314) were compared to those who had oophorectomy (n = 8191). A classification-tree model with recursive partitioning analysis was constructed to examine patterns of ovarian conservation. Propensity score matching was performed and length of stay and perioperative complications were compared. Two validation cohorts were also analyzed in a similar fashion (benign gynecologic disease and cervical
