Abstract
OBJECTIVES Several studies have investigated the correlation between endometriosis and adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. However, the role of adenomyosis as a risk factor for adverse perinatal outcome in women with endometriosis has yet to be established. The aim of this study was to explore if fetal and maternal outcomes, in particular the incidence of a small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infant, are different in pregnant women with endometriosis only from in those with the concomitant presence of diffuse or focal adenomyosis. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of data collected prospectively during a 3-year period. We included 206 pregnant women with endometriosis: 148 (71.8%) with endometriosis only, 38 (18.4%) with focal adenomyosis and 20 (9.7%) with diffuse adenomyosis. Adenomyosis was diagnosed using ultrasonography and was classified as focal or diffuse. The study included patients who conceived spontaneously or by an assisted reproductive technique. Demographics, ultrasound variables and outcome were compared between women with endometriosis only and those with diffuse and those with focal adenomyosis. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association of variables with SGA at birth in women with diffuse and those with focal adenomyosis. RESULTS The three groups were similar in demographic characteristics (age, body mass index, mode of conception). Patients with diffuse adenomyosis compared with those with endometriosis only had significantly lower pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (0.61 vs 0.88 multiple of the median, P < 0.001), higher mean uterine artery pulsatility index in the first (2.23 vs 1.67, P < 0.001) and second (1.30 vs 0.94, P < 0.001) trimesters of pregnancy, and higher incidence of SGA (40% vs 10.8%, P < 0.001). No statistically significant differences were found in patients with focal adenomyosis compared with those with endometriosis only. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that diffuse adenomyosis (odds ratio = 3.744; 95% CI, 1.158-12.099; P = 0.027) was the only independent risk factor for SGA. CONCLUSIONS The presence of diffuse adenomyosis in pregnant women with endometriosis is strongly associated with delivery of a SGA infant. Women with diffuse adenomyosis should be treated as being at high risk of placental dysfunction, and these pregnancies might therefore need closer monitoring. Copyright © 2017 ISUOG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the accuracy of magnetic resonance enema (MR-e) and rectal water-contrast transvaginal sonography (RWC-TVS) in the diagnosis of rectosigmoid endometriosis. METHODS This prospective study included 286 patients of reproductive age with clinical suspicion of rectosigmoid endometriosis. Patients underwent MR-e and RWC-TVS before laparoscopic excision of endometriotic lesions. The findings of MR-e and RWC-TVS were compared with surgical and histological results. RESULTS Of the 286 patients included in the study, 151 (52.8%) had rectosigmoid endometriosis. MR-e and RWC-TVS had similar accuracy in the diagnosis of rectosigmoid endometriosis (P = 0.063). In the diagnosis of rectosigmoid endometriosis with MR-e, the sensitivity was 95.4% (95% CI, 90.7-99.1%), specificity was 97.8% (95% CI, 93.6-99.5%), positive predictive value (PPV) was 98.0% (95% CI, 94.1-99.6%), negative predictive value (NPV) was 95.0% (95% CI, 89.9-97.9%), positive likelihood ratio (LR+) was 42.91 (95% CI, 14.01-131.46) and negative likelihood ratio (LR-) was 0.05 (95% CI, 0.02-0.10). For diagnosis with RWC-TVS, sensitivity was 92.7% (95% CI, 87.3-96.3%), specificity was 97.0% (95% CI, 92.6-99.2%), PPV was 97.2% (95% CI, 93.0-99.2%), NPV was 92.3% (95% CI, 86.6-96.1%), LR+ was 31.29 (95% CI, 11.90-82.25) and LR- was 0.08 (95% CI, 0.04-0.13). MR-e and RWC-TVS underestimated the size of the endometriotic nodules; for both imaging techniques the underestimation was greater for nodules with a diameter ≥ 30 mm. There was no significant difference in the mean intensity of pain experienced by the patients during the two examinations. CONCLUSIONS RWC-TVS should be the first-line investigation in patients with clinical suspicion of rectosigmoid endometriosis and physicians should be trained in performing this examination. Considering that MR-e is more expensive than RWC-TVS, it should be used only when the findings of RWC-TVS are unclear. Copyright © 2016 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
