Effect of a Selective Progesterone Receptor Modulator on Induction of Apoptosis in Uterine Fibroids In Vivo

Table 2

Apoptotic index (AI) in the subgroups of the study.

Type of preoperative treatment	Number of patients	Mean AI (±SD)	Median of AI	Range of AI	Number of patients with
					AI > 10
SPRM	11	158.9 (±193.2)	96	0–672	9 (81.8%)
GnRHa	17	27.5 (±62.3)	2	0–196	4 (23.5%)
No treatment	10	2.0 (±2.1)	1	0–6	0

AI: apoptotic index, GnRHa: gonadoliberin agonist, and SPRM: selective progesterone receptor modulator.
