PURPOSE: To determine the accuracy of @entity1478 with transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) to diagnose @entity1478 in @entity1 with @entity548 in whom a @entity189 has been ruled out. METHODS: In @entity1 with @entity548 , endometrial thickness was measured with TVUS. If endometrial thickness was >4 mm, office hysteroscopy was performed. At hysteroscopy, the uterine cavity was assessed for the presence of @entity1127 . @entity1 with @entity5 were excluded. We used receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis to assess the capacity of TVUS @entity1478 to diagnose @entity1478 . Findings at hysteroscopy were considered to be the reference standard. RESULTS: We included 178 @entity1 with @entity548 and endometrial thickness >4 mm. Hysteroscopy showed an endometrial polyp in 90 @entity1 (50%). The ROC analysis revealed that endometrial thickness had an area under the curve of 0.64 in the diagnosis of @entity1478 . CONCLUSION: In @entity1 with @entity548 in whom @entity189 has been ruled out, measurement of endometrial thickness with TVUS is not useful in the diagnosis of @entity1478 .
