Prevalence of hysterectomy in Ireland
Abstract
Objectives: To assess factors influencing the prevalence of hysterectomy in Ireland.
Methods: Analysis of results of a questionnaire completed by a population-based cohort of 17735 women aged 50-65 years attending for breast screening.
Results: Prevalence of hysterectomy was 22.2%, was increased in proportion to parity and was higher in younger women, those who had previously used oral contraception and those who had private health insurance; peak age at operation was 45-49 years.
Conclusion: The relatively high prevalence parity reflects contraceptive practices and utilization of health service resources.
