Objectives 23% (10/43) and 45% (5/11) (P = 0.027), and at least one total defect was seen in 6% (7/108), 7% (3/43) and 18% (2/11) (P = 0.336). In women who had undergone one Cesarean section, the median distance between an intact scar and the internal cervical os was 4.6 (range, 0-19)
What are the novel findings of this work?In this modified Delphi study, 13 experts on ultrasound diagnosis of adenomyosis reached consensus on revised definitions of the Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) features of adenomyosis and classified these into direct and indirect sonographic signs of adenomyosis.
What are the clinical implications of this work?The revised definitions of MUSA features of adenomyosis and the distinction between direct and indirect signs should facilitate recognition and diagnosis of adenomyosis in clinical practice. The updated definitions are important for future studies on the relationship between the MUSA features of adenomyosis and clinical symptoms and reproductive outcome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
