ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the impact of age and parity on the experience on relief and regret following elective hysterectomy for benign disease, and to explore the factors that impact relief and regret.DESIGN:
Retrospective cross-sectional survey of a cohort.SETTING:
Single-centre tertiary hospital in Melbourne, Australia. POPULATION Patients who underwent elective hysterectomy for benign indications from 01 January 2008 - 31 July 2015 (inclusive) with age <51 years at time of admission.METHODS:
Eligible participants completed a retrospective survey regarding their experience of relief and regret following hysterectomy. MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES:
Regret was defined as a positive response to "Do you regret the decision to have a hysterectomy?". Relief was defined as responding "agree/strongly agree" to "I feel relieved I had a hysterectomy".RESULTS:
268 of 1285 (21%) eligible participants completed the study questionnaire. Of these, 29 were aged <36 years at the time of hysterectomy. Seven percent (n=18/262) reported regretting having a hysterectomy and 88% (n=230/262) reported experiencing relief. We did not observe associations between age at hysterectomy and regret (aOR 0.93; 95% CI 0.85, 1.03), age at hysterectomy and relief (aOR 1.01; 95% CI 0.93, 1.09), nulliparity and regret (aOR 0.32; 95% CI 0.06, 1.59) or nulliparity and relief (aOR 2.37; 95% CI 0.75, 7.51). Desire for future pregnancy at the time of hysterectomy was more frequently reported in those who experienced regret vs no regret (46.7% vs 12.1%, OR 6.33; 95% CI 2.12, 18.90; p=0.001).CONCLUSIONS:
Age and parity are not associated with relief nor regret following elective hysterectomy for benign disease.Palabras clave
