Abstract

Objective: To evaluate whether body mass index (BMI) is an important parameter that affects the thickness of the endometrium in asymptomatic postmenopausal women. Methods: Our study was performed retrospectively using computer and file records of 434 postmenopausal women who were admitted to the Istanbul Research and Training Hospital Menopause clinic between June 2008 and April 2010. Endometrial thickness and biopsy results were compared among patients with endometrial thickness of >5 mm. The correlation between endometrial thickness and menopause age, BMI, diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HT), and smoking were evaluated statistically. Results: Statistically significant p-values were obtained between endometrial thickness and high BMI, DM, HT, and menopause age. Evaluation of the pathology results revealed atypical complex hyperplasia in one case (0.2%), endometrial polyp in 22 cases (5.1%), endometrial proliferation in 17 cases (3.9%), simple endometrial hyperplasia in four cases (0.9%), atrophic endometrium in 22 cases (5.1%), and endometrial secretion in 12 cases (2.8%). Conclusion: We were determined that BMI is an important parameter that affects endometrial thickness and should be considered in follow-ups of endometrial pathologies of asymptomatic postmenopausal women.

Özet

Amaç: Asemptomatik postmenopozal kadınlarda vücut kitle indeksinin endometrium kalınlığını etkileyen önemli bir parametre olup olmadığını değerlendirmek. Yöntemler: Haziran 2008-Nisan 2010 tarihleri arasında İstanbul Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Menopoz Polikliniği'ne başvuran 434 postmenopozal kadının bilgisayar ve dosya kayıtları temel alınarak, retrospektif olarak yapıldı. Transvajinal ultrasonda endometrial kalınlık 5 mm ve üzeri olan hastaların endometrial kalınlıkları ve biyopsi sonuçları karşılaştırıldı. Endometrial kalınlık ile menopoz yaşı, vücut kitle indeksi (VKI), diabetes mellitus (DM), hipertansiyon (HT), sigara arasındaki ilişki istatistiksel olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Endometrial kalınlık artışı ve DM, HT ve yüksek VKI arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı p değerleri tespit edildi. Patoloji sonuçları de- ğerlendirildiğinde, 1 vakada (%0,2) atipik kompleks hiperplazi, 22 vakada (% 5,1) endometrial polip, 17 vakada (%3,9) proliferasyon bulguları, 4 vakada basit endometrial hiperplazi (%0,9), 22 vakada atrofik endometrium (%5,1), 12 vakada sekresyon bulguları (%2,8) saptandı. Sonuç: VKI'nın asemptomatik postmenopozal kadınlarda endometrium kalınlığını etkileyen önemli bir parametre olduğunu, endometrium patolojilerinin izleminde dikkate alınması gerektiğini saptadık.
