PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the contemporary use of procedural interventions to treat symptomatic uterine fibroids and assess associated health care system costs.
METHODS: Using the IBM Watson MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters database for 2009 to 2015 and relevant International Classification of Diseases diagnosis codes, women aged 18 to 55 years with clinically significant uterine fibroids were identified. Using Current Procedural Terminology codes, relevant procedural interventions were identified (hysterectomy, endometrial ablation, myomectomy, and uterine fibroid embolization [UFE]). Costs were defined as total actual payments by insurers and patients (per procedure and per episode of care) and were adjusted and compared using generalized linear models.
RESULTS: Of 241,757 invasive procedures for fibroids, hysterectomy was most common (76.5%), followed by endometrial ablation (14.5%), myomectomy (4.7%), and UFE (4.3%). Hysterectomy was more common in older women and those in rural areas (65.2% of patients <40 years of age, 77.6% of those 40-49 years of age, and 83.6% of those 50-55 years of age; 83.9% of patients outside versus 75.3% within metropolitan statistical areas). Per procedure, adjusted mean costs were $3,188 (95% confidence interval [CI], $3,114-$3,264) for hysterectomy, $2,781 (95% CI, $2,695-$2,870) for ablation, $4,436 (95% CI, $4,256-$4,623) for myomectomy, and $6,161 (95% CI, $5,736-$6,617) for UFE. Adjusted mean costs for entire episodes of care were $14,676 (95% CI, $14,496-$14,858) for hysterectomy, $6,702 (95% CI, $6,534-$6,875) for endometrial ablation, $14,791 (95% CI, $14,465-$15,125) for myomectomy, and $13,873 (95% CI, $13,182-$14,599) for UFE.
CONCLUSIONS: Of invasive procedures for symptomatic uterine fibroids, hysterectomy was used more frequently than endometrial ablation, myomectomy, and UFE combined. Per procedure and per episode, ablation was least costly. Costs per episode were similar for hysterectomy, myomectomy, and UFE.
