Adenomyosis and control group characteristics

Characteristic	Adenomyosis group (N = 10)	Control group (N = 10)	p value
Age (years)	35 (30–39)	34.5 (30–42)	0.621
BMI (kg/m2)	27.2 (17.8–34.6)	21 (17.3–30.1)	0.112
Endometrial thickness (mm)	7.1 (4.6–11.2)	8 (6.2–10.1)	0.082
Number of performed ART cycles	2 (1–4)	4 (1–6)	0.353
Women sterility status:
Primary sterility (nulligravid)	6	5
Secondary sterility (gravida or parous)	4	5
Factor of infertility:
Male	5	8
Tubal	2	1
History of endometriosis	1	0
Idiopathic infertility	2	1

The median (range) is indicated for age, BMI, endometrial thickness and number of performed ART cycles (in vitro fertilization (IVF) and/or intracellular sperm injection (ICSI) treatments). P values are based on Mann–Whitney U test. Primary sterility refers to women who have never been pregnant (nulligravid), and secondary sterility refers to women who have already achieved pregnancy (gravida) or delivery (parous). Abbreviations: BMI = body mass index; ART = assisted reproductive technique
