Popis: OBJECTIVE: To assess prospectively the association between myomectomy route and fertility. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: The Comparing Treatments Options for Uterine Fibroids (COMPARE-UF) Study is a multi-site national registry of eight clinic centers across the United States (NCT02260752, clinicaltrials.gov). PATIENTS: Reproductive-aged women undergoing surgery for symptomatic uterine fibroids. INTERVENTIONS: N/A. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: We used life-table methods to estimate cumulative probabilities and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of pregnancy and live birth by myomectomy route during 12, 24, and 36 months of follow-up (2015–2019). We also conducted 12-month interval-based analyses that used logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals for associations of interest. In all analyses, we used propensity score weighting to adjust for differences across surgical routes. RESULTS: Among 1,095 women who underwent myomectomy (abdominal=388, hysteroscopic=273, and laparoscopic=434), 202 reported pregnancy and 91 reported live birth during 36 months of follow-up. There was little difference in the 12-month probability of pregnancy or live birth by route of myomectomy overall, or among women intending pregnancy. In interval-based analyses, adjusted ORs for pregnancy were 1.28 (95% CI: 0.76–2.14) for hysteroscopic myomectomy and 1.19 (95% CI: 0.76–1.85) for laparoscopic myomectomy compared with abdominal myomectomy. Among women intending pregnancy, adjusted ORs were 1.27 (95% CI: 0.72–2.23) for hysteroscopic myomectomy and 1.26 (95% CI: 0.77–2.04) for laparoscopic myomectomy compared with abdominal myomectomy. Associations were slightly stronger but less precise for live birth. CONCLUSIONS: The probability of conception or live birth did not differ appreciably by myomectomy route among women followed for 36 months post-surgery.
