Abstract EN
Objective.
To study incidence of abnormal hysteroscopic findings according to age.
Methods.
We retrospectively studied 557 consecutive office hysteroscopies in patients referred for incapacity to conceive lasting at least 1 year or prior to in vitro fertilization.
Rates of abnormal findings were reviewed according to age.
Results.
In 219 cases, hysteroscopy showed an abnormality and more than a third of our population had abnormal findings that could be related to infertility.
Rates of abnormal findings ranged from 30% at 30 years to more than 60% after 42 years.
Risk of abnormal finding was multiplied by a factor of 1.5 every 5 years.
Conclusion.
Our data are an additional argument to propose office hysteroscopy as part of first-line exams in infertile woman, regardless of age.
