Sonographic Signs of Adenomyosis Are Prevalent in Women Undergoing Surgery for Endometriosis and May Suggest a Higher Risk of Infertility

Table 3

The odds ratios for the association between sonographic features of adenomyosis in the study group versus the control group and demographic variables using logistic regression for the three chosen models: Model 1: unadjusted, without adjustment for variables; Model 2: adjusted for age; Model 3: adjusted for age, smoking, BMI, and previous cesarean sections.
