Quality of life and pain symptom scores of patients with different endometriosis lesions
Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval
Notes: Nanalysis denotes the number of individuals available for analysis while Ncohort denotes the total number of individuals enrolled in the cohort. The differences between the adjusted and unadjusted models are the observations deleted due to missing data. β denotes linear regression coefficient (mean difference in quality of life or pain symptom scores between individuals with endometriomas and those without endometriomas). The vertical black dashed line represents the null value (zero) of the mean difference, indicating that the mean difference is significantly different from zero when the confidence interval does not include zero (equivalent to p < 0.05). The mean differences in quality of life score or pain symptom intensity are indicated by blue squares (point estimate values), with 95% confidence intervals delimited by black horizontal solid (adjusted model) or dashed (unadjusted model) lines. The models were adjusted for age, body mass index (kg/m2), ethnicity, age of menarche, parity, education level, employment status, marital status, annual income, and hormone use in the last three months. Stars highlight p-values less than 0.05
