title: Risk factors for endometrial hyperplasia concomitant endometrial polyps in pre- and post-menopausal women.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the risk factors for endometrial hyperplasia concomitant endometrial polyps in pre- and post-menopausal women.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 203 patients undergoing endometrial sampling before hysterectomy were evaluated in this retrospective study. Data recorded were age, gravidity, parity, body mass index (BMI: weight(kg)/height(m)2), endometrial thickness (ET), menopausal status, presence of adenomyosis and diabetes mellitus.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Endometrial hyperplasia and polyps were detected in 13 patients. There were statistically significant differences in terms of age, menopausal status, morbid obesity and diabetes mellitus (p<0.005). Logistic regression demonstrated that menopausal status and presence of diabetes mellitus were independent risk factors.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  According to the current study; menopause and diabetes mellitus are strong risk factors for the presence of concomitant endometrial polyps and endometrial hyperplasia.
