3.3 Other cardiovascular diseases
The pooled RRs were 1.16 (95% CI : 1.03-1.30;I2 =91%; Pheterogeneity= 0.000) from 6 studies; 1.31 (95% CI : 1.10-1.56;I2 =79.5%;Pheterogeneity = 0.000) from 6 studies for the
relationship between hysterectomy and CVD, hysterectomy and
hypertension, respectively.
As for ovarian status, the pooled RR was 1.18 (95% CI :
1.03-1.36; I2 =93%;Pheterogeneity = 0.000) for hysterectomy with
ovarian preservation and CVD risk. We also conducted the relationship
between hysterectomy with ovarian preservation and hypertension
(RR : 1.36; 95% CI : 1.14-1.64;I2 =82.6%;Pheterogeneity = 0.001) and the association
between hysterectomy with oophorectomy and hypertension (RR :
1.39; 95% CI : 1.05-1.84; I2 =11.8%;Pheterogeneity = 0.322).
In the women who had hysterectomy before 50 years old, the pooledRR was 1.18 (95% CI : 1.08-1.30;I2 =5.1%; Pheterogeneity= 0.378) for stroke.
