We investigated hysterectomy prevalence among Hispanic women.
We obtained data from 4684 Hispanic women and 20 604 non-Hispanic White women from the 1998-1999 National Health Interview Survey. We calculated nationally representative odds ratios of previous hysterectomy, controlling for confounders.
Compared with non-Hispanic White women, the odds ratio for hysterectomy was 0.36 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.30, 0.44) for Hispanic women with no high school diploma, 0.57 (95% CI = 0.44, 0.74) for high school graduates, and 0.67 (95% CI = 0.42, 0.87) for college attenders. Country of origin had little influence on hysterectomy prevalence. Hysterectomy was positively associated with acculturation.
Hispanic women undergo fewer hysterectomies than do non-Hispanic White women. The reasons for this, as well as information on ethnicity-specific appropriateness of hysterectomy, should be explored.
我们调查了西班牙裔女性的子宫切除术患病率。
我们从1998 - 1999年国家健康访谈调查中获取了4684名西班牙裔女性和20604名非西班牙裔白人女性的数据。我们计算了全国代表性的既往子宫切除术比值比,并对混杂因素进行了控制。
与非西班牙裔白人女性相比,未获得高中文凭的西班牙裔女性子宫切除术的比值比为0.36(95%置信区间[CI]=0.30,0.44),高中毕业生为0.57(95%CI = 0.44,0.74),上过大学的为0.67(95%CI = 0.42,0.87)。原籍国对子宫切除术患病率影响不大。子宫切除术与文化适应呈正相关。
西班牙裔女性接受子宫切除术的次数少于非西班牙裔白人女性。对此的原因以及子宫切除术种族特异性适宜性的信息应进行探索。
