Table 1

Adjusted risk estimates for experiencing persistent vaginal bleeding following abdominal and laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy.

	Reason for hysterectomy		Number of women with vaginal bleeding	Odds ratio (95% CI)
Supracervical abdominal hysterectomy	Fibroids	Yes	16	0.66 (0.16, 2.71)*
		No	3
	Heavy bleeding	Yes	11	1.28 (0.49, 3.35)*
		No	8
	Pain and/or endometriosis	Yes	5	1.37 (0.43, 4.32)*
		No	14
Supracervical laparoscopic hysterectomy	Fibroids	Yes	33	0.47 (0.23, 0.93)*
		No	24
	Heavy bleeding	Yes	41	4.07 (1.32, 12.57)*
		No	16
	Pain and/or endometriosis	Yes	23	0.41 (0.20, 0.85)*
