摘要

Purpose Many indications for hysterectomy can negatively affect patients' quality of life. This study uses patient-reported outcomes to measure changes in self-reported health among hysterectomy patients. Method A prospective cohort of 294 hysterectomy patients completed patient-reported outcomes preoperatively and six months postoperatively in Vancouver, Canada. Patient-reported outcomes measured pelvic health, sexual function, pain, and depression. Changes in health were compared with paired t-tests, and multi-variable regression analysis measured associations between patient and clinical factors with postoperative outcomesResults Many patients reported improvements in health. Unadjusted analysis found that 65 of participants reported less pelvic distress, 55 reported less pain, and 47 reported less depression symptoms postoperatively. Multivariable regression analysis found that poorer preoperative health was associated with poorer postoperative outcomes in all domains of health measured (p-value < 0.01). Postoperative pain scores were lower (less pain) by 0.78 among residents of the most affluent neighborhoods (p-value = 0.02) compared to those in less affluent neighborhoods. Postoperative depression scores were 1.58 points worse among participants with endometriosis (p-value = 0.03) and 1.02 points worse among participants having abdominal surgery (p-value = 0.02).Conclusion Many participants reported improvements in pelvic symptoms, pain, and depression after hysterectomy. Lower socioeconomic status patients may be at risk for reporting higher pain after surgery, and endometriosis patients may report higher depression. Further investigation is needed to determine effective interventions for the higher postoperative pain observed in this study for residents of less affluent neighborhoods.
