Abbreviations: AMH: anti-Müllerian hormone; LEEP: loop electrosurgical procedure.
^aPaired 𝑡-test for baseline versus follow-up AMH levels (difference between the means).
^bAnalysis of variance to test for difference between mean at baseline or at follow-up for LEEP versus No LEEP.
^cBaseline mean AMH value minus follow-up mean AMH value.
Med.: median; Min.: minimum; Max.: maximum.
