Abstrakt: Uterine artery embolization(UAE) is widely used in obstetrical indications, including postpartum bleeding and placental implantation abnormality, to manage many conditions to conserve the uterus. However, physicians are concerned about future fertility or ovarian function due to the occlusion of major pelvic vessels in the uterine artery embolization. However, there are limited data related to UAE usage during the postpartum period. This study was to evaluate the impact of UAE during the postpartum period on primary ovarian failure(POF), menstrual disorders, and infertility in women. Using the Korea National Health Insurance claims database, all pregnant women who delivered between January 2007 and December 2015 and underwent UAE during the postpartum period were identified. The occurrence of POF, female infertility, and menstrual disorders after delivery was evaluated. Using Cox proportional hazards models, the adjusted hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals were estimated. 779,612 cases were analyzed in the study with 947 women in the UAE group. After delivery, the incidence of POF (0.84% vs.0.27%, P<.0001) and female infertility (10.24% vs. 6.89%, P<.0001) were higher in UAE group than in the control group. After adjusting for covariates, the POF risk was significantly higher in UAE group than in the control group (HR 2.37, 95% CI 1.16-4.82). The risk for the disorder of menstrual frequency (HR 1.28, 95% CI 1.10-1.50) and female infertility (HR 1.37, 95% CI 1.10-1.71) was significantly higher in UAE group than in the control group. This study confirmed UAE during the postpartum period is a risk factor for POF after delivery.
