OBJECTIVE: To formulate strategies for clinical assessments for endometrial thickening on ultrasound in a postmenopausal woman without bleeding.
TARGET POPULATION: Postmenopausal women of any age.
OUTCOMES: To reduce unnecessary invasive interventions and investigations in women with asymptomatic endometrial thickening while selectively investigating women at risk for endometrial cancer.
BENEFITS, HARMS, AND COSTS: It is anticipated that the adoption of these recommendations would save postmenopausal women unnecessary anxiety, pain, and risk of procedural complications. It is also expected to decrease the cost to the health care system by eliminating unnecessary interventions.
EVIDENCE: English language articles from Medline, Cochrane, and PubMed databases for relevant peer-reviewed articles dating from 1995 to 2022 (e.g., asymptomatic endometrial thickness, endometrial cancer, postmenopausal bleeding, transvaginal ultrasound, endometrial biopsy, cervical stenosis, hormone therapies and the endometrium, tamoxifen, tibolone, aromatase inhibitors). Results were restricted to systematic reviews and meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials/controlled clinical trials, and observational studies.
VALIDATION METHODS: The authors rated the quality of evidence and strength of recommendations using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. See Appendix A (Tables A1 for definitions and A2 for interpretations of strong and conditional [weak] recommendations).
INTENDED AUDIENCE: Physicians, including gynaecologists, obstetricians, family physicians, radiologists, pathologists, and internists; nurse practitioners and nurses; medical trainees, including medical students, residents, and fellows; and other providers of health care of the postmenopausal population.
SOCIAL MEDIA ABSTRACT: Postmenopausal women often have a thickening of the lining of the uterus found during ultrasound. Without bleeding, an endometrium <11 mm is rarely a serious problem but should be evaluated by a health care provider.
SUMMARY STATEMENTS: RECOMMENDATIONS.
