Burden of symptomatic uterine fibroids in Canadian women: a cohort study.

CONCLUSIONS: Women experienced significant healthcare utilization, medication use, and financial and QoL burdens as a result of moderate/severe UF symptoms. Prevalence of moderate/severe UFs may be conservatively estimated at 2%, based on this cohort of reproductive-age Canadian women. The extent of UF underdiagnosis in the general population remains to be elucidated. PMID: 26455364 [PubMed - in process]
