Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of five different intrauterine adhesion (IUA) evaluation systems for live birth rate following transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA).Method: This retrospective study included 128 women with IUA who desired for spontaneous conception after TCRA. All the patients were retrospectively scored by the American Fertility Society (AFS) classification, European Society of Gynecological Endoscopy (ESGE) classification, March’s classification (March), Nasr’s classification (Nasr) and Chinese IUA diagnosis classification criteria (Chinese). The predictive value of these evaluation systems was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under a ROC curve (AUC).Results: The correlation coefficients of AFS, ESGE, March, Nasr and Chinese classification and the live birth rate were 0.313, 0.313, 0.288, 0.380, and 0.336, respectively. Among women with hypomenorrhea and amenorrhea, as well as women with no infertility, the severities determined by all five evaluation systems were correlated with live birth rate (P < 0.001). All five scoring systems were efficient to predict live birth rate. Among them, Nasr’s classification showed the highest AUC (0.748) with the best predictive value. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that Nasr’s classification had the highest OR (OR, 6.523; 95% CI, 2.612, 18.263). And, Nasr’s classification system also showed highest sensitivity (81.8%) and negative predictive value (96.7%) when divide the system into mild IUA vs. moderate and severe IUA Conclusion: AFS, ESGE, March, Nasr and Chinese classification were demonstrated to be capable of predicting live birth following TCRA although the predictive capacities might be limited, and Nasr’s classification showed the highest predictive value of live birth.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
