205 Results Patient characteristics and recruitment Forty-six women with adenomyosis and 106 women with healthy uteri were enrolled in our study. A total of 53 TVUS recordings were made of women with adenomyosis across the different phases of the menstrual cycle. Fourteen recordings were excluded after the quality check, leaving 39 recordings of adenomyosis patients included in analysis. These consisted of fourteen recordings during the M phase, seven during the MF phase, ten during the LF phase, one during the EL phase, nine during the LL phase. A total of 125 recordings were made of women with healthy uteri. Nineteen recordings were excluded during quality check, leaving 106 recordings of women with healthy uteri included in analysis. This resulted in eleven recordings during the M phase, eighteen during the MF phase, 48 during the LF phase, fourteen during the EL phase, fifteen during the LL phase. See Figure 8.2 for a detailed overview of patient and recording inclusion. Figure 8.2: Flowchart of patient enrolment and inclusion for the adenomyosis and control groups. Relevant patient characteristics are summarized in Table 8.1. Women with adenomyosis were older (p<0.001), had higher BMI (p=0.003), higher parity (p=0.006), and greater uterine lengths, heights, and widths (p<0.001, p<0.001, and 0.033, respectively) compared to healthy controls.
