Abstract

Over a 2-month period a register was kept of all dilatation and curettage procedures performed in Frederiksborg County, Denmark, involving women aged 40-59 years. The total recorded was 284. In the same period, questionnaires were sent out to 1200 women in the county who fell within the same, randomly selected age group, to establish the number of women treated with sequential oestrogen/progestogen and those who had been hysterectomized. Based on the results and the total female population in the county, it was calculated that the frequency of the procedure in sequentially-treated women as compared with untreated women was 3.1 times higher in the 55-59 age group. In the 40-54 age group no difference in the incidence of curettage in the sequentially-treated women could be demonstrated.
