摘要："ObjectivesTo quantify the reintervention rate and analyze the risk factors for reintervention after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation of uterine fibroids.MethodsEighteen studies were selected from the seven databases. A meta-analysis was applied to synthesize the reintervention rates for fibroids across various follow-up durations. Subgroup-analysis was conducted based on the year of surgery, sample size, guide methods, and non-perfusion volume ratio (NPVR). Signal intensity of T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) was independently evaluated for reintervention risk.ResultsThe study enrolled 5216 patients with fibroids treated with HIFU. There were 3247, 1239, 1762, and 2535 women reaching reintervention rates of 1% (95% confidence interval (CI): 1-1), 7% (95% CI: 4-11), 19% (95% CI: 11-27), and 29% (95% CI: 14-44) at 12, 24, 36, and 60-month after HIFU. The reintervention rates of patients treated with US-guided HIFU (USgHIFU) were significantly lower than those of patients treated with MR-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS). When the NPVR of fibroids was over 50%, the reintervention rates at 12, 36 and 60-month after HIFU were 1% (95% CI: 0.3-2), 5% (95% CI: 3-8), and 15% (95% CI: 9-20). The reintervention risk for hyper-intensity fibroids on T2WI was 3.45 times higher (95% CI: 2.7-4.39) for hypo-/iso-intensity fibroids.ConclusionThis meta-analysis showed that the overall reintervention rates after HIFU were acceptable and provided consultative suggestions regarding treatment alternatives for patients with fibroids. Subgroup-analysis revealed that USgHIFU, NPVR >= 50%, and hypo-/iso-intensity of fibroids on T2WI were significant factors in reducing reintervention.Systematic Review RegistrationPROSPERO, CRD42023456094"
