Epidemiological characteristics of suspected adenomyosis in the Chinese physical examination population: a nested case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We aimed to explore the epidemiological characteristics of suspected adenomyosis within a physical examination population in China.

Design

A retrospective, nested case-control study; we matched healthy people and those with potential adenomyosis on a 1:2 ratio by age.

Setting

Participants

We included 15-60 years old women who underwent at least one uterine examination from October 2017 to December 2020, excluding those who had undergone hysterectomy and menopause.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

We estimated the incidence and prevalence rate of suspected adenomyosis. Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate associations between serum biomarkers and potential adenomyosis. Areas un
