  • Efficacy and safety of bipolar radiofrequency ablation versus hysterectomy in abnormal uterine bleeding: a network meta-analysis

    ObjectiveTo indirectly compare the efficacy and safety of bipolar radiofrequency ablation versus hysterectomy in abnormal uterine bleeding by using network meta-analysis. MethodsThe PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, WanFang Data and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy and safety of different surgical methods in abnormal uterine bleeding from inception to May 20, 2022. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Network meta-analysis was then performed by using Stata 16.0 software. ResultsA total of 39 RCTs involving 3 307 patients were included. The results of network meta-analysis showed that hysterectomy was superior to bipolar radiofrequency ablation in terms of amenorrhea rate and reintervention rate, while the hospital stay and patient satisfaction rate were opposite. ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that bipolar radiofrequency ablation has more advantages in terms of hospital stay and satisfaction rate, while hysterectomy has more advantages in terms of amenorrhea rate and reintervention rate. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
