Abstract

ABSTRACT: We aimed to determine clinical factors predicting successful pregnancy by comparing pregnancy failure and success groups after adenomyomectomy. Additionally, we analyzed fertility outcomes after adenomyomectomy.The medical records of 43 patients who had undergone adenomyomectomy and received in vitro fertilization treatment from 2017 to 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into pregnancy failure (n = 28) and pregnancy success (n = 15) groups. Patients' demographic factors were evaluated and compared between the groups.The age of patients was higher (39.0 [32.0-45.0] vs. 37.0 [33.0-42.0] years, P = .006) whereas the level of anti-Müllerian hormone (anti-Müllerian hormone [AMH]; 0.54 [0.01-8.54] vs. 2.91 [0.34-7.92] ng/mL, P = .002) lower in the pregnancy failure group compared to the pregnancy success group. The operative time was longer (220.0 [68.0-440.0] vs. 175.0 [65.0-305.0] min, P = .048) while the estimated blood loss higher (750 [100-2500] vs. 500 [50-2000] mL, P = .016) in the pregnancy failure group compared to the pregnancy success group. No significant difference was observed in body mass index, symptoms, cancer antigen 125, preoperative uterine volume, or type of adenomyosis. In the multivariate analysis, age and AMH were significant predictive factors for successful pregnancy.Ovarian reserve (age and AMH) and disease severity might be predictive factors for successful pregnancy in patients who have undergone adenomyomectomy. Adenomyomectomy should be considered for women desiring pregnancy and having appropriate ovarian reserve. Our results would be beneficial for patients and clinicians before deciding on adenomyomectomy. Larger prospective studies are required to confirm our findings.
