The frequency of structural causes (PALM) according to figo palm-coein classification in patients undergoing hysterectomy for abnormal uterine bleeding
Aims: We aimed to determine the frequency of the PALM group in the FIGO PALM-COEIN system of patients who were operated for AUB, and to evaluate and analyze our data in our clinic.
Methods: In a retrospective study, data were obtained for nonpregnant women aged 18–55 years who underwent hysterectomy for AUB at a center in Turkey in 2017-2022. The patients were retrospectively classified according to the PALM-COEIN system.
Results: A total of 847 women were included. Leiomyoma was the most common pathology result in only 377 (44.5%) patients. The second most common pathology result was adenomyosis and leiomyoma coexistence in 132 (15.6%) patients. The third most common pathology result was 62 (7.3%) adenomyosis.
Conclusion: In addition to the combined use of FİGO AUB system 1 and 2 in AUB, the notation grouping may be useful for clinicians in the management of AUB.
