Abstract
Evaluation of HSG and SIS Diagnostic Value in Comparison to Hysteroscopy to Detect Intrauterine Abnormalities in Infertile Women in Iran
Highlights
Uterine abnormalities are considered as one of the main risk factors in etiology of infertility [1]
Overall sensitivity and specificity of Saline Infusion Sonogram (SIS) for diagnosis of all type of anomaly including both uterine abnormalities and acquired uterine pathologies was 90.1% and 90.0%
Overall sensitivity and specificity of Hysterosalpingography where hysteroscopy was considered as the gold standard was 54.9 (42.7, 66.8) and 50.0 (18.7, 81.3)
Summary
Uterine abnormalities are considered as one of the main risk factors in etiology of infertility [1]. Several different diagnostic approaches including Hysterosalpingography (HSG), and hysteroscopy have been established and applied widely over the past years in this regard [5,6] They have been used effectively for many years to investigate uterine cavity abnormalities and provided reliable results. HSG is a low-price, simple, and effective method with high sensitivity in diagnosis of uterine deformities and abnormalities and hysteroscopy has been regarded as the main gold standard in this regard [7]. Both of hysteroscopy and HSG contains invasive procedure that might be painful and inconvenient for patients [8,9]
