The association between uterine adenomyosis and adverse obstetric outcomes: A propensity score-matched analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study examined obstetric outcomes in patients diagnosed with uterine adenomyosis.

Material and methods

This historical cohort study queried the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's National Inpatient Sample. The study population was all hospital deliveries in women aged 15-54 years between January 2016 and December 2019. The exposure was a diagnosis of uterine adenomyosis. The main outcome measures were obstetric characteristics, including placenta previa, placenta accreta spectrum, and placental abruption. Secondary outcomes were delivery complications including severe maternal morbidity. Analytic steps to assess these outcomes included (i) a 1-to-N propensity score matching to mitigate and balance prepregnancy confounders to assess obstetric characte
