| dc.description.abstract | Background. Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) is one of the most common
gynecological complaints among reproductive-aged women, potentially leading to
anemia and reduced quality of life. Objective. This study aims to analyze the
occurrence of AUB at Prof. dr. Chairuddin Panusunan Lubis Universitas Sumatera
Utara Hospital, Universitas Sumatera Utara, Medan 20155, INDONESIA during
2020–2025 based on patient characteristics, including age, BMI, parity,
contraceptive use, history of BOH, and degree of anemia. Methods. This
observational study used a cross-sectional design with secondary data from
medical records involving 111 cases that met the inclusion criteria. Data were
analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-Square test and
Monte Carlo correction. Results and Discussion. The most common type of AUB
was AUB-M, accounting for 35 cases (31.5%). Most patients were aged ≥41 years
(55.9%), had obesity (40.5%), and were multiparous (50.5%). A significant
association was found between AUB and age (p = 0.022) as well as degree of
anemia (p = 0.004). Meanwhile, BMI, parity, contraceptive use, and history of BOH
showed no significant relationship with AUB. These findings indicate that age and
anemia severity play important roles in the occurrence of AUB. Conclusion. AUB
is more frequently observed among older women and is associated with increased
anemia severity, whereas factors such as BMI, parity, contraceptive use, and
history of BOH do not show significant influence | en_US |
