The ISTH-BAT score and outcomes after endometrial ablation in women with heavy menstrual bleeding.

Background: The International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis bleeding assessment tool (ISTH-BAT), is used during the diagnostic workup of bleeding disorders. Data on ISTH-BAT scores in women with heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) undergoing endometrial ablation (EA) could be essential in optimizing HMB counselling.

Objective: To investigate the postsurgical incidence of amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, quality of life, re-intervention after EA, and ISTH-BAT score.

Prophylactic and therapeutic strategies for intraoperative bleeding in women with von Willebrand disease and heavy menstrual bleeding: A systematic review.

Background: Optimal peri-operative management for women with Von Willebrand disease (VWD) and heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) remains undetermined.

Aim And Methods: To evaluate (pre)operative management in relation to (post)operative bleeding after endometrial ablation (EA) and hysterectomy in VWD women with HMB by performing a database search between 1994 and 2023.

Results: Eleven cohort studies and 1 case-report were included, of overall 'low' quality, describing 691 operative procedures.

Ten-year retrospective evaluation of therapeutic choices and related satisfaction in patients with auricular deformities.

To adequately counsel future patients with auricular abnormalities, this study aimed to analyze the therapeutic choices patients make after consultation concerning their auricle and/or hearing. All patients who visited the auricle consultation between January 2010 and January 2020 were included. This comprises patients with all types of auricular anomalies of both congenital and acquired etiology.

Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system versus endometrial ablation for heavy menstrual bleeding.

Background: Heavy menstrual bleeding affects the physical functioning and social well-being of many women. The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system and endometrial ablation are 2 frequently applied treatments in women with heavy menstrual bleeding.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system with endometrial ablation in women with heavy menstrual bleeding.

Women prefer proactive support from providers for treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding: A qualitative study in adult women with moderate or severe Von Willebrand disease.

Objective: To explore key factors for successful support in women with moderate or severe Von Willebrand disease (VWD) who are faced with heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) and surgery.

Design: A qualitative study design with focus-group interviews and thematic analysis of the discussions.

Settings And Population: Eleven VWD women aged 41-68 years (median age 58 years) who had had a hysterectomy or bipolar radiofrequency ablation (BRA) because of HMB participated in this study.
