Medical Professionals’ Opinions and Attitudes Toward Uterus Transplantation in Hungary(1-290).xlsx

<b>Abstract: </b><b>Background</b>: Uterus transplantation (UTx) is a proven treatment for individuals affected by absolute uterine factor infertility (AUFI) who desire biological motherhood. Despite over 130 procedures performed worldwide in the past decade, UTx remains relatively unfamiliar, even among healthcare professionals. This study aimed to identify knowledge gaps and evaluate attitudes toward UTx among Hungarian obstetricians/gynecologists and transplantation providers, in anticipation of the first procedure to be performed in the country. <b>Methods:</b> A Microsoft Forms® questionnaire was distributed electronically among Hungarian medical professionals via e-mail, including members of the Hungarian Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and the Hungarian Transplantation Society. Additionally, participants of the “Update 2024” OB/GYN conference (held November 28–29, 2024, in Visegrád, Hungary) were invited to complete the survey through a QR code displayed during the event. <b>Results:</b> A total of 290 medical professionals completed the survey (response rate: 27.6%, 290/1,050). Most respondents specialized in obstetrics and gynecology (81.7%, n = 237), with the remainder representing transplantation fields (18.3%, n = 53). Over half (56.6%, n = 161) reported they would recommend UTx to patients with AUFI, and 64.1% (n = 186) agreed that UTx should be available as a treatment option. The medical risks associated with the procedure were deemed acceptable for both living donors (58.0%, n = 168) and recipients (54.8%, n = 159). <b>Conclusion:</b> This is the first study to explore perceptions of UTx among Hungarian medical professionals. The findings suggest a generally favorable professional attitude toward its future clinical implementation.

<b>摘要：</b><b>背景</b>：子宫移植（Uterus Transplantation, UTx）是针对渴望生育亲生子女的绝对子宫性不孕（Absolute Uterine Factor Infertility, AUFI）患者的成熟治疗方案。尽管过去十年间全球已完成超130例手术，子宫移植仍相对鲜为人知，即便在医疗从业者群体中亦是如此。本研究旨在配合匈牙利即将开展首例子宫移植手术的筹备工作，明确当地妇产科医师与移植专科医师对子宫移植的认知缺口，并评估其对该术式的态度。<b>方法</b>：本研究通过电子邮件向匈牙利医疗从业者在线分发微软表单（Microsoft Forms®）问卷，调研对象涵盖匈牙利妇产科医师协会与匈牙利移植医师协会的会员。此外，2024年11月28日至29日于匈牙利维谢格拉德举办的"2024年度进展更新"妇产科（OB/GYN）学术会议的参会者，可通过会场展示的二维码完成问卷填写。<b>结果</b>：共计290名医疗从业者完成问卷调研，应答率为27.6%（290/1050）。其中81.7%（n=237）的受访者为妇产科专科医师，剩余18.3%（n=53）来自移植专科领域。超半数受访者（56.6%，n=161）表示会向绝对子宫性不孕患者推荐子宫移植，64.1%（n=186）的受访者认同子宫移植应作为一项治疗选择得以开展。超半数受访者认为，该术式对活体供者（58.0%，n=168）与受者（54.8%，n=159）的医疗风险均处于可接受范围。<b>结论</b>：本研究为首个探索匈牙利医疗从业者对子宫移植认知情况的学术调研。结果显示，专业群体对子宫移植的未来临床应用普遍持有积极态度。
