Quality score results for studies judged of good quality (quality score more than 4). None of the good quality series falls among the ones in which estimating the rare event has been needed. In the study of Leone et al. [54], the main myoma diameter was reported as median. Hallez et al. [44] provided intervals for diameters of myoma.
