The Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Chart (PBAC) is a validated tool that is used to diagnose heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB). Knowledge of the effect of its score and its relationship with outcome could have implications for using the PBAC as an outcome measurement in future HMB studies, and as a tool to evaluate the treatment effect in research and clinical practice. Our aim was to relate PBAC scores to other measures of success after endometrial ablation for HMB.
