Änderung der gesundheitsbezogenen Lebensqualität und der klinischen Beschwerdestärke nach Uterusarterienembolisation bei symptomatischer Adenomyosis uteri evaluiert mittels standardisiertem Fragebogen
Uterine artery embolization significantly improved quality of life and symptoms in women with adenomyosis, though one-third experienced treatment failure.

This longitudinal two-timepoint study evaluated the clinical response to uterine artery embolization (UAE) in 17 women with symptomatic adenomyosis, using the standardized Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Quality of Life (UFS-QOL) questionnaire to measure health-related quality of life and symptom severity before and after treatment; diagnosis relied on clinical symptoms and MRI criteria. After a median follow-up interval of 46 months, 70.6% (12/17) of participants showed therapy response with statistically significant improvements in both health-related quality of life and clinical symptoms (p=0.002), while therapy failure occurred in 29.4% (5/17), defined by need for a second invasive procedure for recurrent or persistent symptoms; explicitly, one patient underwent dilatation and curettage and four underwent hysterectomy due to failure. This paper is centrally about endometriosis/adenomyosis-related disease—specifically symptomatic adenomyosis treated with uterine artery embolization and changes in quality of life and symptom severity.
