ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical features of obesity indicators in patients with endometrial atypical hyperplasia (EAH) and early endometrial cancer (EC) and analyze the relationship between these indexes and effect of fertility preservation therapy.Methods:The clinical data of patients with EAH, EC and endometrial benign lesions treated in Peking University People′s Hospital from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2021 who required fertility-sparing treatment were collected, and obesity indicators were calculated and analyzed retrospectively.Results:(1) Obesity indicators: the obesity [body mass index (BMI) ≥28 kg/m 2] rate of patients with fertility preservation treatment was 40% (32/80), and abdominal obesity [waist circumference (WC) ≥80 cm] rate was 79% (63/80), and obesity indicators [BMI, WC, waist-hip ratio (WHR), weight height ratio (WHTR), body roundness index (BRI), lipid accumulation index (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI)] were higher than those with endometrial benign lesions (all P<0.001). (2) Related factors affecting the efficacy of fertility preservation treatment and their predictive value: EC, higher BMI, WC, WHR, WHTR and BRI were risk factors for lower complete remission rate after nine months′ treatment (all P<0.05). The predictive values of BRI and WHTR combined with pathological type were superior to other indicators [area under the curve (AUC)=0.716; AUC=0.714]. (3) Relation of obesity indicators and glucolipid indicators:BMI, WC, WHR, WHTR, BRI, LAP and VAI were positively correlated with homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance index, glycosylated hemoglobin, and triacylglycerol (all P<0.05); while VAI was negatively correlated with high density lipoprotein cholesterol ( P<0.001). Conclusions:For patients with EAH and EC treated with fertility preservation therapy, abnormal obesity indexes affect the treatment effect. BRI and WHTR combined pathology have good predictive value for effect of fertility preservation treatment. In clinical practice, appropriate indicators could be selected to evaluate body shape, glucolipid metabolism and predict efficacy.
