The IOTA (International Ovarian Tumor Analysis) Simple Rules Worksheet contains an ovary
measurement tool for women with adnexal tumors that have been selected to undergo
surgery. The IOTA Simple Rules model is based on published literature and has been tested
only on the stated population. The literature states that the IOTA Simple Rules model can help
to estimate the probability of an adnexal mass of being malignant.
IOTA states that use outside of the intended population can overestimate risk. Users are
expected to study the literature and reach their own professional conclusions regarding the
clinical utility of the tool.
The IOTA Simple Rules model is stated in literature as described in the Advanced Reference
Manual
For details see Advanced Reference Manual – Chapter IOTA.
