Implication

Systematic review reveals comparable outcomes in health-related quality of life for uterine artery embolisation and myomectomy, highlighting the importance of informed treatment decisions.

Key Points

Myomectomy significantly reduces symptom severity compared to uterine artery embolisation for symptomatic uterine fibroids.
Five studies were included, focusing on health-related quality of life and complications associated with fibroid treatments.
Data was systematically gathered and analyzed using R software, ensuring robust meta-analysis of outcomes.
Research calls for better representation and study design to improve future findings on treatment for uterine fibroids.
