Outcomes
The following maternal background information and perinatal outcomes were reviewed for those who experienced pain at the adenomyosis site: maternal age, parity, mode of conception, maximum CRP during pain, duration of pain, delivery week, onset of PE, spontaneous preterm delivery, delivery method, blood loss, PPH, neonatal weight, and light for gestational age (LGA) infants. Spontaneous preterm delivery was defined as delivery followed by spontaneous onset of labor or prelabor rupture of the membrane.(14) The duration of pain was judged by the time period in which the analgesics were prescribed and the patient’s claim of the pain from the medical record. PPH was defined as blood loss of ≥500 g for vaginal delivery and ≥1000 g for cesarean delivery. LGA was defined as an infant with a birth weight below the 10th percentile. PE was diagnosed based on the diagnostic criteria of the International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy.(15)
