How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Objective: assess the condition of the uterus and myomatous nodes after EMA in different periods by ultrasound and MRI. Methods. EMA was performed in 632 patients with various forms of uterine fbroids. To achieve this goal, 120 observations with various forms of uterine fbroids were analyzed. Results. Reduction of myomatous nodes according to ultrasound and MRI in 1 month was - 18.4-17.3%, after 3 months - 40.7-42.9%, after 6 months it was - 60.4-61.8% and through 12 months - 72.5-74.7% (р˂0.05) respectively. Necrotic isolation of the node, expulsion of myomatous nodes and removal of the partially submucous node giving birth was observed in n-18 (15%) cases. In n-12 (10%) observations, after uterine artery embolization, laparoscopic myomectomy of the subserousmyomatous nodes was performed. Conclusion. our experience shows that EMA is highly effective method for treating uterine fbroids, performed depending on various forms alone or in combination with operational accommodation.
