| Popis: | Research question What is the prevalence of T-shaped uteri among fertile women based on ESHRE/ESGE and Congenital Uterine Malformation by Experts (CUME) criteria? Design A prospective cohort study of 258 women of reproductive age with a history of at least one natural pregnancy resulting in live birth. Participants were recruited from the family planning clinic between January 2018 and March 2020. The ESHRE/ESGE classification of congenital anomalies of the female genital tract was used for describing abnormal findings. CUME criteria were also used for diagnosing T-shaped uterus. Uterine cavity volume was measured. Results Mean age of participants was 35.4 ± 6.2 years. Participants were diagnosed with the following: congenital uterine abnormality (n = 9 [3.6%]); partial septate uterus (n = 5 [2.0%]) and hemiuterus (n = 2 [0.8%]). Two women (0.8%) were diagnosed with T-shaped uterus and borderline T-shaped uterus based on the ESHRE/ESGE criteria and CUME. Mean lateral indentation angle, lateral indentation depth and T-angle were 156.2° ± 9.53°, 2.85 ± 0.93 mm and 73.3° ± 9.85° in patients with normal uterine cavity. In patients with T-shaped and borderline T-shaped uteri, respective figures were 115° versus 121°, 10 mm versus 7.6 mm and 27.5° versus 70°. Median volume of the uterine cavity in patients with normal uterine cavity and T-shaped uterus was 3.71 ml (minimum 2.0 to maximum 9.03 ml, interquartile range 1.93) and 3.2 ml (2.9 and 3.62 ml), respectively. Conclusions The prevalence of T-shaped uteri in fertile women is low, which corresponds to previous reports of women with poor reproductive history. |
