284 Several significant differences between the adenomyosis group and the general population were also found with regards to neonatal outcomes (see Table 3, and Figure 2). Children born from women with adenomyosis diagnosis showed a slightly lower birthweight (3308g (±670g) vs. 3372g (for adenomyosis versus general population respectively, p<0.001); however, the median birthweight percentile was still within normal range (p50.06 vs p50.67. p<0.001). Women with adenomyosis showed a slightly increased prevalence of foetal distress during labour with an aOR of 1.13 (95% CI 1.03-1.23). No significant difference was found for presence of meconium-stained amniotic fluid (p=0.729). Likewise, no increased prevalence was found for neonatal mortality or low Apgar scores at birth (p>0.05), with neonates of women with adenomyosis also showing a lower prevalence of neonatal asphyxia (p=0.036). NICU admission was more common in the general population versus adenomyosis patients (17.2% versus 16.3% respectively, p=0.037).
