Table 1.
Baseline characteristics of the correlation cohort (patients with hemoglobin and transferrin saturation data available at the first visit).
Fig 2.
Frequency of anemia and iron deficiency, as diagnosed using Hb, serum ferritin, and TSAT levels.
In the adenomyosis group, iron deficiency diagnosed using ferritin, and TSAT was significantly higher than that diagnosed using ferritin alone. Hb, hemoglobin; TSAT, transferrin saturation.
Fig 3.
Correlation between log(TSAT) and Hb concentrations.
The correlation was weak in the adenomyosis group, compared to strong correlations in the myoma and no uterine structural abnormality groups. Hb, hemoglobin; TSAT, transferrin saturation.
Fig 4.
Correlation between log(TSAT) and Hb concentrations.A notable absence of correlation was observed only in the adenomyosis group with hypermenorrhea (r = 0.0526, p = 0.8209). Hb, hemoglobin; TSAT, transferrin saturation.
