Popis: Introduction: Past studies comparing perioperative outcomes of hysterectomy (HYST) and uterine artery embolization (UAE) do not control for demographically and insurer diverse populations. This study sought to identify the 30‑day readmission, 15‑day complication, and minimum 1‑year surveillance reintervention rates of diverse, propensity matched patients undergoing UAE or HYST for uterine leiomyoma. Methods: Adults from the New York’s Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) database 2009‑2013 who underwent HYST or UAE for uterine leiomyoma were retrospectively reviewed and 1:1 propensity matched. Univariate analysis compared demographics, complications, readmissions, and reintervention rates. Binary logistic and linear regression models identified independent predictors of outcomes. Results: A total of 682 patients were identified, where the number (n) of patients in each cohort was n=341, HYST, and n=341, UAE. Significance levels are shown with p values. No significant differences were identified between HYST and UAE demographics, complication (2.60% HYST vs 2.90% UAE, p=0.816) or readmission rates (3.20% HYST vs 3.80% UAE, p=0.678); 0.30% of UAE patients had a reintervention UAE and 2.90% of UAE patients had reintervention hysterectomy. HYST patients had a significantly longer average length of stay (2.59 days HYST vs 1.63 days UAE, p
