Predictive factors of spontaneously regressed uterine endometrial polyps during the waiting period before hysteroscopic polypectomy

Table 3 Identification of influencing factors for spontaneously regressed polyps

Factors	Number	OR (95% CI, number)	p-Value
Advanced age	144	0.5 (0.2–1.3, n = 6/28)	0.64
Nullipara	280	1.1 (0.5–2.5, n = 19/28)	0.49
High BMI	49	0.6 (0.1–2.5, n = 2/28)	0.80
Hormonal drug use	258	4.2 (1.4–12.2, n = 24/28)	0.02
Small polyp	151	9.6 (3.6–25.9, n = 23/28)	< 0.01
Single polyp	227	0.9 (0.4–1.8, n = 14/28)	0.72
Infertility	174	1.7 (0.8–3.7, n = 15/28)	0.66
Abnormal bleeding	96	0.7 (0.3–2, n = 5/28)	0.64
Hypermenorrhea	81	1.8 (0.8–4.2, n = 8/28)	0.20
No symptom	98	0.4 (0.1–1.3, n = 3/28)	0.96

A multivariate analysis of 424 patients with hysteroscopic polypectomy was performed to examine the influence of ten representative factors whose data were collected from medical records. The number of patients with each factor, the ORs and 95% CIs for the occurrence of spontaneously regressed polyps and the p-values are presented in this table. “Hormonal drug use” and “Small polyp” were identified as significant factors for the occurrence of spontaneous regression.
