Patient Characteristics Associated with Embolization vs Hysterectomy for Uterine Fibroids: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis J. Am. Coll. Radiol. (IF 4.5) Pub Date : 2024-01-06 Tara Srinivas, Bethlehem Lulseged, Mohammad Mirza Aghazadeh Attari, Mostafa Borahay, Clifford R. Weiss
Introduction Black and underinsured women in the U.S. are more likely than their counterparts to develop uterine fibroids (UF) and experience more severe symptoms. Uterine artery embolization (UAE), a uterine-sparing therapeutic procedure, is less invasive than the common alternative, open hysterectomy. To determine whether demographic disparities persist in UF treatment utilization, we reviewed patient
