Abstract

Objective To determine whether an association exists between the histopathologic diagnosis of adenomyosis and infertility in a population of captive baboons.Design Case-control study.Setting Southwest National Primate Research Center.Animal(s) Necropsy records of 37 baboons diagnosed with adenomyosis uteri and 38 baboons with normal uterine histology.Intervention(s) None.Main outcome measure(s) Chi2 analysis of the association between adenomyosis, primary infertility, and the presence of coexisting endometriosis.Result(s) Endometriosis was associated with the presence of adenomyosis (OR = 31.5, 95% CI 4.2-1,348). There was a trend toward an association of endometriosis with the presence of lifelong infertility, but this correlation did not quite achieve statistical significance (OR = 3.6, 95% CI 0.9-15.8). Adenomyosis was associated with the presence of lifelong infertility (OR = 20.6, 95% CI 2.7-897). This association was maintained when cases of coexisting endometriosis (n = 17) were excluded (OR = 20.1, 95% CI 2.1-921).Conclusion(s) Adenomyosis is strongly associated with lifelong primary infertility in the baboon, even in the absence of coexisting endometriosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
