Assessing the risk of rapid fibroid growth in patients with asymptomatic solitary uterine myoma using a multivariate prediction model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long-term conservative approaches are effective management options for asymptomatic uterine fibroids, but not for uterine myomas with excessive growth. In this investigation, a regression model was constructed to evaluate the clinical characteristics related to uterine fibroids' growth.

Methods

In this retrospective study, 19,840 patients with ultrasound-diagnosed uterine fibroids were identified from six centers between 2013 and 2019. In total, 739 patients were followed up for more than 1 year with B-ultrasound test results and clinical test results and had no acute events or surgical treatments. The endpoint was changed in the size of the uterine fibroids. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of uterine fibroid grow
