Preliminary investigation of eligibility and accessibility of high intensity focused ultrasound ablation for patients with uterine fibroids
Objective:To investigate eligibility and accessibility of high intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU) treatment for patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids.Methods:729 patients referred to HIFU treatment for uterine fibroids from two new HIFU centers were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were first evaluated following the eligibility criteria of the State Food and Drug Administration of China.Then
the eligible patients underwent simulation
pelvic MRI and clinical examination to determine suitability for the procedure.Results:33.5% of the patients(244/729) accepted HIFU treatment.The main reasons that patients didn’t take HIFU treatment were as follows:not desire HIFU treatment(36.2%
12/729);and financial difficulties(3.3%;24/729).Conclusion:The proportion of patients who accepted HIFU ablation is still low.We need to do more work in improving the accessibility of this technique.
