Abstract
Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are the most common non-cancerous tumors affecting women. Psychosocial stress is associated with fibroid risk and severity. The relationship between psychosocial stress and fibroid pathogenesis may involve alterations in microRNAs (miRNAs) although this has yet to be examined. We investigated associations between two psychosocial stress measures, a composite measure of recent stressful life events and perceived social status, with expression levels of 401 miRNAs in myometrium (n = 20) and fibroids (n = 44; 20 with paired fibroid and myometrium samples) among pre-menopausal women who underwent surgery for fibroid treatment. We used linear regressions to identify psychosocial stressors associated with miRNAs, adjusting for covariates (age, body mass index, race/ethnicity, and oral contraceptive use). The association between psychosocial stressors and miRNAs was considered statistically significant at an FDR p < 0.10 and showed a monotonic response (nominal p-trend < 0.05). In the myometrium, 21 miRNAs were significantly associated with a composite measure of recent stressful events, and two miRNAs were associated with perceived social status. No fibroid miRNAs were associated with either stress measure. Pathway analyses revealed miRNA-mRNA targets were significantly enriched (FDR p < 0.05) in pathways relevant to cancer/tumor development. Of the 74 differentially expressed miRNAs between myometrium and fibroids, miR-27a-5p and miR-301b were also associated with stress exposure. Our pilot analysis suggests that psychosocial stress is associated with myometrial miRNA expression and, thus, may have a role in the pathogenesis of fibroids from healthy myometrium.

The relationship between psychosocial stress and fibroid pathogenesis may involve alterations in microRNAs (miRNAs) although this has yet to be examined. We investigated associations between two psychosocial stress measures, a composite measure of recent stressful life events and perceived social status, with expression levels of 401 miRNAs in myometrium (n = 20) and fibroids (n = 44; 20 matched between tissues) from pre-menopausal women who underwent surgery for fibroid treatment. We used linear regressions to identify psychosocial stressors associated with miRNAs, adjusting for covariates (age, body mass index, and race/ethnicity). Psychosocial stressors were modeled as ordinal variables and results were considered statistically significant if the overall variable significant was below false discovery threshold (FDR < 0.10) and showed a monotonic dose-response (nominal p-trend < 0.05). In the myometrium, 16 miRNAs were significantly associated with total stressful events and two miRNAs were associated with perceived social status. No fibroid miRNAs were associated with either stress measure. Pathway analyses revealed miRNA-mRNA targets were significantly enriched (FDR < 0.05) in pathways relevant to cancer/tumor development. Of the 74 differentially expressed miRNAs between myometrium and fibroids (p < 0.05), miR-27a-5p was also associated with stress exposure. Our pilot analysis suggests that psychosocial stress is associated with changes in myometrium miRNAs, and thus, plays a role in the pathogenesis of fibroids from healthy myometrium.

Abstract
Objective To determine the safety and feasibility of same-day discharge (SDD) following minimally invasive hysterectomy (MIH) for elderly patients and to evaluate associations between age, frailty, and postoperative outcomes. Methods Retrospective review was conducted of patients aged ≥ 70 who underwent MIH within a single gynecologic oncology institution from 2018 to 2020. Demographics, peri-operative factors, postoperative complications, and 30-day readmission rates were collected. Frailty was determined by an 11-point modified frailty index ≥ 2. Outcomes were compared between SDD and observation groups using Fisher's exact and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. Results Of 169 patients included in the analysis, 8.9% (n = 15) underwent SDD, and 91.1% (n = 154) were admitted for OBS following MIH. Demographics, peri-operative factors, and frailty rates (33% SDD vs 43.5% observation; p = 0.59) were similar between groups. 86.7% (n = 13) of SDD cases were completed before 12PM, and none were completed after 6PM. No SDD patients had early post-operative complications or hospital readmissions. Early postoperative complications were diagnosed in 9 (5.8%) patients admitted for OBS, and the 30-day hospital readmission rate for patients who underwent OBS was 8.4% (n = 13). While elderly patients who met objective frailty criteria (n = 72) did not have a higher likelihood of early post-operative complications (44.4% vs 55.6%; p = 0.909), they did have a higher likelihood of ED visit within 30 days of discharge (15.3 vs 3.1%; p = 0.009), and a trend was noted toward a higher rate of 30-day hospital readmission (12.5% vs 4.1%; p = 0.080). Conclusions Elderly patients undergoing SDD following MIH did not have increased morbidity or mortality. Elderly patients who meet objective criteria for frailty, however, represent a more vulnerable population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether morbid obesity should serve as an independent factor in the decision for same day discharge following minimally invasive hysterectomy. METHODS Retrospective review was performed of patients with BMI ≥ 40 who underwent minimally invasive hysterectomy within a single comprehensive cancer center between January 2018 - August 2020. Demographics, perioperative factors, post-operative monitoring, complications, and readmissions were compared between patients who underwent same day discharge and overnight observation using Fisher's exact tests and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. RESULTS 374 patients with BMI ≥ 40 were included. Eighty-three (22.2%) patients underwent same day discharge, and 291 (77.8%) patients underwent overnight observation. Factors associated with increased likelihood of same day discharge included younger age (median age 53 vs 58; p = 0.001), lower BMI (median BMI 45 vs 47; p = 0.005), and fewer medical co-morbidities (Charlson Co-Morbidity Index 2 vs 3; p < 0.001). On multivariate regression analysis, frailty (OR 2.16 [1.14-4.11], p = 0.019) and surgical completion time after 12 PM (OR 3.67 [2.16-6.24], p < 0.001) were associated with increased risk of overnight observation. Few patients admitted for routine overnight observation required medical intervention (n = 14, 4.8%); most of these patients were frail (64.3%). The overall hospital readmission rate within 30 days of discharge was 3.2% (n = 12), with no patients discharged on the day of surgery being readmitted. CONCLUSIONS Morbid obesity alone should not serve as a contraindication to same day discharge following minimally invasive hysterectomy. Admission for observation was associated with low rates of clinically meaningful intervention, and patients who underwent same day discharge were not at increased risk of adverse outcome.
