Scime Beili Huang Pauline McDonagh Hull Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica AbstractIntroductionHysterectomy is a common surgery with discernible practice variations that could be influenced by socioeconomic factors. We examined the association between level of educational attainment and the occurrence and timing of hysterectomy in Canadian women.Material and MethodsWe conducted a prospective cohort study of 30 496 females in the Alberta's Tomorrow Project (2000–2015) followed approximately every 4 years using self‐report questionnaires. Educational attainment was defined as high school diploma or less, college degree, university degree (reference group), and postgraduate degree. We used logistic regression analyzing hysterectomy occurrence at any time and before menopause, separately, and flexible parametric survival models analyzing hysterectomy timing with age as the time scale. Multivariable models controlled for race/ethnicity, rural/urban residence, parity, oral contraceptive use, and smoking.ResultsOverall, 39.1% of females reported a high school diploma or less, 28.9% reported a college degree, 23.5% reported a university degree, and 8.5% reported a postgraduate degree. A graded association was observed between lower education and higher odds of hysterectomy (high school or less: adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.68, 95% CI 1.55–1.82; college degree: AOR 1.58, 95% CI 1.45–1.72); results were similar for premenopausal hysterectomy. A graded association between lower education and earlier timing of hysterectomy was also observed up to approximately age 60 (eg at age 40: high school or less adjusted hazard ratio [AHR] 1.61, 95% CI 1.49–1.75; college degree AHR 1.53, 95% CI 1.40–1.67).ConclusionsWomen with lower levels of education were more likely to experience hysterectomy, including hysterectomy before menopause and at younger ages. 10.1111/aogs.14959 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ |
