We included 203 African-American and Caucasian women who reported a hysterectomy: 61 did not have data on preoperative diagnoses and 17 women were excluded because of preoperative diagnoses of malignancy, leaving a sample size of 125. The initial sample size is based on the total number of women with data on preoperative diagnoses and no preoperative indication of cancer. Forty-eight percent (n = 61) of this sample is African American. The final sample size is based on total number of women with gross or microscopic/histologic pathological evidence of fibroids (n = 90).
