Hysterectomy Rate Following Endometrial Ablation in Ontario: A Cohort Analysis of 76,446 Patients.

Background: Endometrial Ablation (EA) is an alternative to hysterectomy for the management of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB); however, it does not eliminate the need for future surgical re-intervention.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to establish long-term clinical outcomes including the risk of hysterectomy in women who had undergone a primary EA.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective population-based cohort study utilising administrative data from the Canadian province of Ontario.

Complication Rates after Endometrial Ablation in Ontario: A Cohort Analysis of 76 446 Patients.

Study Objectives: Endometrial ablation (EA) is an alternative to hysterectomy for the management of heavy menstrual bleeding; however, EA is not without risk. Our objective was to determine complication rates in women undergoing EA in the province of Ontario over a 15-year time period. The primary outcome was a composite of multiple complications within 30 to 180 days of surgery.

Elective Single Embryo Transfer in the Setting of Funded In Vitro Fertilization: Two Years' Experience in an Ontario Hospital-Based Fertility Clinic.

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess data from a fertility clinic and identify differences in patient and cycle characteristics, clinical pregnancy rates, and multiple gestation rates before and after fertility treatment funding and a policy of elective single embryo transfer were instituted by the Ontario government to reduce multiple gestations arising from fertility treatment.

Methods: This study was a retrospective database review of clinic and embryology laboratory data for all patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmatic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles over a 4-year period. The investigators compared IVF and ICSI cycles before funding, from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2015, with cycles after funding, from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017.
