Objective: To investigate the association between an abnormal hysterosalpingogram (HSG) and obstetrical and neonatal outcomes.

Design: A retrospective cohort study comparing outcomes between women with normal versus abnormal tubal patency and uterine cavity on HSG.

Results: Among 2181 women included in the study, 494 (22.6%) had an abnormal HSG. Of these, 207 (42%) presented with uterine abnormalities, 336 (68%) with tubal abnormalities and 49 (10%) with both. The study identified 232 clinical pregnancies in the abnormal HSG group and 814 pregnancies in controls. Women with abnormal HSG showed higher rates of preterm labour (PTL) compared to controls (13.6% vs. 7.7%,  < 0.05,  = 1687). Multivariate analysis revealed that any HSG abnormality was associated with an increased risk of PTL (aOR 2.39, 1.04-5.51). When analysing by type of abnormality, uterine abnormalities increased the risk of preeclampsia (aOR 2.86, 1.06-7.7) and low birthweight (aOR 2.31, 1.0-5.35), while tubal abnormalities were specifically associated with increased risk of PTL (aOR 3.87, 1.63-9.19).

Conclusion: An abnormal HSG study was associated with adverse obstetrical outcomes. Specifically, uterine abnormalities increased the risk of preeclampsia and birthweight below 10th percentile, while tubal abnormalities were associated with a heightened risk of PTL.

Background: T-shaped uterus is a subclass of dysmorphic uteri according to the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) classification. A T-shaped uterus might be related to poor reproductive outcomes or pregnancy complications. We aim to compare the success rates of fertilization (IVF) between individuals with a normal uterus and those with a T-shaped uterus identified through Hysterosalpingography.

Purpose: Patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) are either managed with non-operative strategies or surgery depending on the severity of lateral curvature and impact on quality of life. However, supportive evidence for the appropriate treatment approach is lacking in AIS patients with Cobb angles between 40 and 50 degrees. Therefore, we investigated differences in long-term patient-centered outcomes in AIS patients with Cobb angles between 40 and 50 degrees who received either operative or non-operative management.

Hysterosalpingography findings in infertile Sudanese women: a cross-sectional study on tube blockage.

Article Synopsis
  • Infertility is a major health issue in Africa, and this study focused on the findings from Hysterosalpingography (HSG) tests conducted on 100 Sudanese women experiencing infertility.
  • The results showed that both primary (46%) and secondary (54%) infertility were prevalent, with significant abnormalities detected in fallopian tubes and a correlation between age and medical history to the type of infertility.
  • The study concluded that fallopian tube issues are a leading cause of infertility in these women, and previous pelvic surgery was identified as a key risk factor, highlighting the need for timely diagnostic procedures.

To assess the effect of hysteroscopic polypectomy on the in vitro fertilization (IVF) results in infertile women with at least one prior negative IVF outcome. This retrospective cohort study included women who had attended the "2nd Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens" and "Iaso" Maternity Hospital from October 2019 to January 2023 for infertility treatment. The medical records of 345 women aged 18-45 years old without abnormal findings in hysterosalpingography (HSG) and with at least one previous failed IVF procedure were analyzed.
