Table 2:

Area of the subepithelium, muscularis, and adventitia normalized to the area of the vagina.

Subepithelium (%) Muscularis (%) Adventitia (%)
Sham (n=7) 19 ± 10 55 ± 11 26 ± 13
Stable (n=8) 16 ± 10 51 ± 10 33 ± 13
Unstable (n=8) 16 ± 4 40 ± 11 44 ± 11
Predeformed (n=9) 15 ± 4 42 ± 10 45 ± 17
Overall p-value 0.78a 0.024a 0.045c
Sham vs Stable 0.79b 0.72b 0.28d
Sham vs Unstable 0.78b 0.024b 0.021d
Sham vs Predeformed 0.62b 0.042b 0.031d
*

Data represented as mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range).

*

P-value obtained using aone-way ANOVA followed by bDunnett t-test.

*

P-value obtained using the cKruskal-Wallis followed by dMann-Whitney test with a Bonferroni Correction (p<0.016 for significance).

*

Note the area of the vagina did not include the area of the epithelium, given the high turnover of the epithelium.
