Table 2. Clinical features of the case and control women.
Clinical manifestations | Case (n = 43) | Control (n = 43) | P value |
---|---|---|---|
Abdominal pain | 42 (97.7%) | 10 (23.3%) | P < .01 |
Pain duration | 5.3±18.5 days | 1.8 ±2.4 days | P = .56 |
Pain intensity a | 5.4±2.5 | 3.0±1.4 | P = .01 |
Note-Data for pain duration and pain intensity are mean day ± standard deviation and mean scale ± standard deviation.
a Pain intensity was quantified by a using numerical rating scale (NRS). The NRS was available in 34 of 42 women with abdominal pain in the case group and 8 of 10 women with abdominal pain in the control group.
