Baseline Characteristics of Study Participants
adenomyosis-associated dysmenorrhea, Anemia, blood loss, pain
BLOOD LOSS, BLOOD, ANEMIA, HEAVY MENSTRUAL BLEEDING
Abbreviations: BMI (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared); VAS, visual analogue scale.SI conversion factors: To convert hemoglobin to grams per liter, multiply by 10; platelet count to ×10VAS was used to evaluate the intensity of adenomyosis-associated dysmenorrhea. Score ranged from 0 to 10, and a higher score represented a greater intensity of pain.The menstrual blood loss was analyzed with the Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Chart, with a score of 100 indicating with more than 80 mL of blood loss, which was defined as heavy menstrual bleeding.Uterine volume was determined based on the diameters of 3 angles by transvaginal ultrasonography. The uterine volume was calculated as 0.52 × Anemia at baseline was defined as having a less than 12.0 g/dL hemoglobin.Endometrial thickness was detected by transvaginal ultrasonography.
