Abstract

Myomectomy, a surgery to remove multiple leiomyomas from the uterus, is a treatment option for uterine fibroids (UF) in premenopausal patients. Osteoporosis and bone fractures are known to be strongly associated with menopausal status or hormonal changes. However, no studies have discussed the association between myomectomy and osteoporosis or fractures. This study investigated the risk of osteoporosis or fractures (vertebrae, hip, and others) in Korean patients who had undergone myomectomy without bilateral oophorectomy. We used data from the 10-year claims database of the Korean National Health Insurance from January 2009 to December 2020. Data for patients who had undergone myomectomy without oophorectomy (n = 211,969) and the control group (n = 450,124) who were randomly selected from the database were extracted. The incidence and hazard ratios (HRs) of osteoporosis or fracture between the myomectomy patients and the control group were calculated. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Subgroup analyses were performed based on age. The adjusted hazard ratios for osteoporosis and total fractures were 0.934 (95% CI: 0.916–0.954, P
