Popis: Objective To investigate the tolerance and efficacy of HIFU ablation for uterine fibroids with a non-perfused volume ratio (NPVR) ≥ 90%.Methods A prospective cohort study of 2411 patients from 20 clinical centers was available. Contrast-enhanced MRI was used to assess the non-perfused volume ratio (NPVR). The International Society of Interventional Radiotherapy (SIR) complication grading system was used as the tolerance index. Uterine Fibroids-related Symptoms-Quality of Life (UFS-QoL) was used to evaluate the efficacy.Results A total of 1352 patients underwent USgHIFU ablation treatment enrolled, NPVR was median 91.9% (IQR, 81.4%,100.0%). There was 761 case (56.3%) in the NPVR ≥ 90% group in which 17.5% case experienced SIR-B abdominal pain, 591 cases (43.7%) in NPVR < 90% group in which 9.3% case had SIR-B abdominal pain. There were statistically differences in the improvement degree of UFS at 12 months among the four subgroups (NPVR < 70%, 70%–80%, 80%–90%, 90%–100%) (all p
