Table 2 Association between atypia (including adenocarcinomas) on biopsy, age, endometrial thickness and atypia in hysterectomy specimens

From: The diagnosis of endometrial atypia by hysteroscopy with guided biopsy in postmenopausal patients with hyperplasia: a reliable practice?

	Atypia on biopsy
	Yes (N = 89)	No (N = 10)	p value*
Age
<60	41 (46.1)	6 (60)	0.62
≥60	48 (53.9)	4 (40)	0.62
Endometrial thickness
5 to 7 mm	55 (61.8)	5 (50)	0.64**
≥7 to 9 mm	32 (36)	5 (50)
>9 mm	2 (2.2)	0
Atypia on hysterectomy
Yes	83 (93.3)	6 (60)	<0.001
No	6	4 (40)	<0.001
