Background & Objective: Endometrial hyperplasia is the primary precursor of endometrial cancer in the female reproductive system, with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) being the predominant manifestation of this condition. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of endometrial hyperplasia and its correlation with various factors among patients presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding.Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study reviewed the hospital records of all patients with abnormal uterine bleeding admitted to Ali Ebn-e Abi Taleb Hospital in Zahedan from April 2015 to April 2018. Data were analyzed using the SPSS. Results: The prevalence of endometrial hyperplasia was estimated to be 20.3%. The average age of the study subjects was about 45 years. The highest number of patients (37, 52.9%) belonged to the age group of 36-50 years. Among the different types of endometrial hyperplasia observed, the most common was "simple non-atypical hyperplasia" found in 45 patients (64.3%), while the least common was "simple atypical hyperplasia" observed in three patients (4.3%). Overall, "non-atypical hyperplasia" (including both simple and complex types) was present in 58 patients (82.85%). The prevalence of infertility, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, premature menarche, late menopause, family history, oligomenorrhea, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was reported in 7.1%, 32.9%, 24.3%, 22.9%, 8.5%, 13.6%, 7.1%, 5.7%, and 3.4% of cases, respectively.Conclusion: women with a history of diabetes, hypertension, and obesity are at an increased risk of developing endometrial hyperplasia. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate these patients for the presence of endometrial hyperplasia.

Background & Objective: Determining the correct date of pregnancy and fetal age has a very important role in the management of pregnancy from the first trimester to delivery, which makes it necessary to know the exact method in this field. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the accuracy of ultrasound at 8-16 weeks with Naegele’s Revised Rule of the delivery date.Materials & Methods: This study was performed on 50 pregnant women. After recording demographic information and age of delivery, sonography of weeks 8-16 and Naegel’s Revised Rule were also recorded. A Paired t-test was used to compare data.Results: The results of our study showed that the average difference between the Naegele’s Revised Rule and real age was 3.52 days, which is a significant difference. However, the average difference between the estimated date by ultrasound and real age is 0.58 days, which is not a significant difference. Ultrasound is more accurate than the Naegele’s Revised Rule, which still did not differ significantly from the actual date of delivery by grouping by age, sex of the fetus, number of pregnancies, and deliveries.Conclusion: Ultrasound has more accuracy in accurately estimating the date of delivery, and therefore using this method and relying on it has more reliability than the Naegele’s Revised Rule.
