Possible predictive factors were assessed for their relationship to the procedure outcome, adjusting for the proceduralist. The primary outcome was the probability of procedure completion (\u2018completion\u2019), defined as successful access to the endometrial cavity in the outpatient setting. The secondary outcome was the probability of procedure success (\u2018success\u2019), a composite of access to the cavity, with no reported complications, and the patient reporting a willingness to repeat the procedure as an outpatient again in the future.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>During the study period, a total of 2 392 outpatient hysteroscopy procedures were attempted. Completion was achieved in 93.4% of cases, and success was seen in 80.6% of cases. Both completion and success were associated with younger age, premenopausal status, and a history of vaginal birth. Previous cervical or tubal surgery, previous Caesarean section birth, and anticipated pain scores were not associated with either outcome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>While hysteroscopic completion and success are high in all groups, premenopausal women with a history of a vaginal birth have the best outcomes and should be encouraged to consider an outpatient procedure where possible.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ajo.70145","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,5]],"date-time":"2026-05-05T07:11:23Z","timestamp":1777965083000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Predictors of Successful Outpatient Hysteroscopy: A Retrospective Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"66","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-9642-2842","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lauren Jean","family":"Hicks","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Gynaecologist, Endosurgery Unit Mercy Hospital for Women  Heidelberg Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Gynaecologist, Gynaecology 2 Unit Royal Women's Hospital  Parkville Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lenore","family":"Ellett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Director of Gynaecology, Endosurgery Unit Mercy Hospital for Women  Heidelberg Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Newborn Health University of Melbourne  Parkville Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Healey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Newborn Health University of Melbourne  Parkville Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Clinical Lead, Gynaecology 2 Unit Royal Women's Hospital  Parkville Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samantha","family":"Mooney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gynaecologist, Endosurgery Unit Mercy Hospital for Women  Heidelberg Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Newborn Health University of Melbourne  Parkville Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emma","family":"Readman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Newborn Health University of Melbourne  Parkville Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Director of Minimally Invasive Gynaecology, Endosurgery Unit Mercy Hospital for Women  Heidelberg Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ajo.13597"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/01443615.2021.1916814"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4293\/JSLS.2014.00393"},{"issue":"11","key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","first-page":"1292","article-title":"Does Cervical Preparation Before Outpatient Hysteroscopy Reduce Women's Pain Experience?
