OBJECTIVE: To describe the success rate of and the quality of life after global endometrial ablation in an @entity28 population. METHODS: A follow-up survey was mailed to 72 @entity1 who had undergone global endometrial ablation. The survey included a @entity931 -specific NovaSure endometrial ablation questionnaire. The mean follow-up time was 2.5years. RESULTS: Forty-four @entity1 (61%) responded, with a mean body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters) of 30.5. Overall, @entity1 reported a decrease in missed social activities, in inability to perform activities of daily living, in missed work days, in @entity548 tendencies, and in @entity158 . The @entity2588 rate was 37%, and the success rate (those not requiring any further therapeutic treatment) was 86%. @entity1 satisfaction was 93%. CONCLUSION: Global endometrial ablation improved quality of life for @entity28 @entity1 with @entity931 and had a high rate of satisfaction, even for @entity1 not achieving @entity2588 . @entity1 with a BMI of more than 34 showed a trend toward failure and a higher rate of hysterectomy.
