Iron deficiency occurred in 13.3% from the TBEA arm and in 50% from the LNG-IUS arm (p = 0.026). The women\u2019s mean Short Form 36 Questionnaire general health perception scores (54.9 vs. 40.5, p = 0.024) and mental health scores (49.5 vs. 38.3, p = 0.021) in TBEA arm were significantly higher than in the LNG-IUS arm. The mental health domain score was also significantly lower in the LNG-IUS arm (46.1 vs. 38.3, p = 0.041). &lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt; TBEA appears to offer better health status function at 1 year follow-up and to be more acceptable to our Chinese population in the treatment of idiopathic menorrhagia following failed medical treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000092660","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,4,12]],"date-time":"2006-04-12T10:48:29Z","timestamp":1144838909000},"page":"84-88","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Health Status Function after Treatment with Thermal Balloon Endometrial Ablation and Levonorgestrel Intrauterine System for Idiopathic Menorrhagia: A Randomized Study"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"Wing Hung","family":"Tam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pong Mo","family":"Yuen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Doris Pui","family":"Shan Ng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pui Ling","family":"Leung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ingrid Hung","family":"Lok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael Scott","family":"Rogers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS1074-3804%2805%2960515-4"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS1074-3804%2800%2980036-5"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0895-4356%2898%2900105-X"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0029-7844%2897%2900226-3"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089%2F154099903770948140"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0301-2115%2802%2900408-6"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055%2Fs-2002-32434"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0015-0282%2803%2901176-2"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2F0010-7824%2895%2900038-C"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000082577"}],"container-title":["Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/92660","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/92660","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T03:05:18Z","timestamp":1745463918000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000092660"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2006]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000092660","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0378-7346","1423-002X"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0378-7346"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1423-002X"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2006]]}}}
