Multicenter StudyAbnormal uterine bleeding in reproductive age: a comparative analysis between the five Brazilian geographic regions.
This study aimed to comparatively evaluate the presence of abnormal uterine bleeding and associated factors among women from the five official Brazilian geographic regions. ⋯ The prevalence of abnormal uterine bleeding in Brazilian women was higher in the North and Northeast, followed by the Southeast, South, and Central-West regions.
