Clinico-demographic features and the benign diseases requiring hysterectomy; A Cross Sectional Study.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the clinic-demographic features and the benign diseases requiring hysterectomy. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Peshawar Medical College and its Affiliate Tertiary Care Hospitals. Period: 03 Oct, 2020 to 03 Oct, 2021. Methods: It was a part of the dissertation mandated by the college of physician and surgeons as part of the FCPS program. Using WHO sample size calculator a sample size of 104 patients was obtained and consecutive sampling was done. Logistic regression was used to co-relate clinic-demographic features with different diseases with 5% level of significance. Results: Mean of age of the patients was 48.55 years (±10.5years SD), mean height was 5.508 feet (±1.1feet SD), mean weight was 73.20 kg (±15.4kg SD) and the mean BMI was 26.58 (±4.5 SD). Diabetes mellitus was significantly more common in patients with leiomyoma and abnormal uterine bleeding, whereas, the social class and body mass index did not have an impact on the benign gynecological condition (p>0.05). Conclusion: Patients with symptomatic fibroid uterus and abnormal uterine bleeding are more likely to be hypertensive and diabetic, whereas, BMI, social class and residence area does not significantly differ among patients.
