Trial summary

Both pelvic masses and preoperative diagnosis of them have still continued as an important investigation subject. It is important to discriminate the diagnoses of leiomyoma and adenomyosis before operation especially among infertile patients. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 35 to 60 years
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: There were three groups in our study. First group called adenomyosis was consisted of patients who were pathologically diagnosed pure adenomyosis after hysterectomy. Second group called leiomyoma was consisted of patients who were pathologically diagnosed pure leiomyoma after hysterectomy. Third group called control group was consisted of healthy patients who were pathologically diagnosed no neoplasm after hysterectomy.

Who may be able to join

  • 386 patients who were referred for abnormal uterine bleeding resistant to medical treatment or detected pelvic mass in postmenopausal and premenopausal period and underwent hysterectomy in our department were evaluated. However 196 of those patients were included in the present study because of exclusion criteria.

Who cannot join

  • Exclusion criteria were as fallows; diabetes mellitus, metabolic disorder, acute or chronic infection disease, hypertension, acute coroner artery disease, connective tissue disorder, vasculitis, inflammatory bowel disease, tobacco and alcohol use, renal failure, hepatitis, patients using corticosteroid drug and patients underwent blood transfusion within three months.

About this study

Official title: Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio Can Be Useful Markers for Distinguishing Uterine Adenomyosis and Leiomyoma

Both pelvic masses and preoperative diagnosis of them have still continued as an important investigation subject. It is important to discriminate the diagnoses of leiomyoma and adenomyosis before operation especially among infertile patients. Neoplasms can alter systemic or local immune response in their originating area.Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) can be readily determined by using of complete blood counter test (CBC). A high NLR has been shown in systemic inflammation, some gynecologic and gastrointestinal cancers and some cardiovascular diseases.

The investigators aim to investigate using new inflammation markers, NLR and PLR, whether they are useful to discriminate between adenomyosis and leiomyoma. As far as is known, there have been no previous reports about the association among NLR, PLR, adenomyosis and leiomyoma.

Read the detailed description

A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at the Kayseri Education and Research Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kayseri, Turkey, between January 2016 and October 2016.

Approval of the Institutional Review Board of Kayseri Erciyes University the Faculty of Medicine was obtained in advance (2016/525).

Exclusion criteria were as fallows; diabetes mellitus, metabolic disorder, acute or chronic infection disease, hypertension, acute coroner artery disease, connective tissue disorder, vasculitis, inflammatory bowel disease, tobacco and alcohol use, renal failure, hepatitis, patients using corticosteroid drug and patients underwent blood transfusion within three months. The investigators reviewed a database of 386 patients who were referred for abnormal uterine bleeding resistant to medical treatment or detected pelvic mass in postmenopausal and premenopausal period and underwent hysterectomy in our department. The investigators are capable of including 196 patients in the present study because of exclusion criteria.

There were three groups in our study. First group called adenomyosis was consisted of patients who were pathologically diagnosed pure adenomyosis after hysterectomy. Second group called leiomyoma was consisted of patients who were pathologically diagnosed pure leiomyoma after hysterectomy. Third group called control group was consisted of healthy patients who were pathologically diagnosed no neoplasm after hysterectomy.

In order to evaluate serum levels of hemoglobin, leukocytes, neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet and CA125, the investigators obtained data analysis measured preoperatively from venous blood samples of all subjects. The NLR was defined as the absolute neutrophil count divided by the absolute lymphocyte count and the PLR was defined as the absolute platelet count divided by the absolute lymphocyte count.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Measured serum inflammatory markers among groups by complete blood count

    Those markers are neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet count.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adenomyosis and Leiomyoma, run by Kayseri Education and Research Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measured serum inflammatory markers among groups by complete blood count (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Dec 2016.
