Abstract

Multivariate logistic regression models were used to assess the adjusted relationship between uterine fibroids and BV. Of the 189 patients with uterine fibroids, individuals with BV were more likely to have a submucosal fibroid(s) as compared to those without BV (28.3% vs 10.5%, P = 0.003). The odds of a subsequent diagnosis of BV were higher among patients with submucosal fibroids as compared to those with fibroids in other locations (Odds Ratio: 3.0, 95% CI: 1.3–7.1). Patients with BV demonstrated higher likelihoods of abnormal uterine bleeding (65.5% vs 26.3%, P < 0.001) and anemia (52.2% vs 30.3%, P = 0.003).
