Data collected included age, body mass index, uterine length, and endometrial stripe, as well as smoking status and presence or absence of hypertension and hypothyroidism. Indication for hysterectomy and pathologic findings at hysterectomy were also examined.<h4>Measurements and main results</h4>There was no association between tubal ligation and second-generation endometrial ablation resulting in hysterectomy (p = .09). Statistically significant variables included endometrial stripe (p <.001) and smoking (p <.001). There was no statistical significance between the groups insofar as type of ablation, age, body mass index, uterine length, hypertension, or hypothyroidism. Time from endometrial ablation to hysterectomy between groups was not significant. Indication for hysterectomy and pathologic findings after hysterectomy were also not significant.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Tubal ligation is not a statistically significant risk factor for hysterectomy after endometrial ablation. Tubal ligation does not affect the length of time from endometrial ablation to hysterectomy.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":2.70805020110221,"endowment":2.70805020110221,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"23694727","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2159913031","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":1.3887,"citation_percentile":0.81564893,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2013,"count":2},{"year":2014,"count":1},{"year":2015,"count":2},{"year":2017,"count":2},{"year":2018,"count":2},{"year":2019,"count":2},{"year":2021,"count":3}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"https://www.elsevier.com/tdm/userlicense/1.0/","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S1553465013001581?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S1553465013001581?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmig.2013.03.011","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23694727","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Uterine Myomas and Treatments","Gynecological conditions and treatments","Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery","Adult","Endometrial Ablation Techniques","Female","Humans","Hysterectomy","Menorrhagia","Middle Aged","Retrospective Studies","Risk Factors","Sterilization, Tubal","Treatment Outcome"],"mesh_terms":["Adult","Female","Humans","Hysterectomy","Menorrhagia","Middle Aged","Retrospective Studies","Risk Factors","Sterilization, Tubal","Treatment Outcome","Endometrial Ablation Techniques"],"keywords":["Endometrial ablation","Medicine","Hysterectomy","Tubal ligation","Body mass index","Ablation","Ligation","Risk factor","Gynecology","Obstetrics","Surgery","Internal medicine","Population","Family planning","Postablation Tubal Sterilization Syndrome"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Good health and well-being"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-04T11:48:34.089853Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
