[Risk factors for hysterectomy among Brazilian women].

Abstract:

:A case-control study was conducted to investigate risk factors for hysterectomy among women using the public health system in Northeast Brazil. The cases were 373 women aged 30-54 years that had undergone elective hysterectomy for benign pelvic conditions. Controls were 742 women with preserved uterus selected from public health clinics. Data were collected through a review of medical records and a personal interview using a structured, pre-tested questionnaire. Unconditional multiple logistic regression was applied in the analysis. Women at greater risk for hysterectomy were those with a higher per capita family income, zero to three children, a history of medical consultation for menstrual problems, hospitalization for gynecological problems, or tubal ligation before age 30 years. Menopause and a history of stillbirth appeared as protective factors in the statistical analysis.
