Adverse obstetrical outcomes for women with endometriosis and adenomyosis: A large cohort of the Japan Environment and Children's Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Because of the increased number of diagnosed cases of endometriosis or adenomyosis resulting in infertility, many women require assisted reproductive technology (ART) to become pregnant. However, incidences of obstetric complications are increased for women who conceive using ART. There has been no prospective cohort study examining the influence of endometriosis and adenomyosis on obstetric outcomes after adjusting for the confounding influence of ART therapy.

Objective

This study evaluated the impact of endometriosis and adenomyosis on the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Study design

Data were obtained from a prospective cohort study, known as the Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS), of the incidence of obstetric complications for women
