Abstract

Background: The underlying mechanisms of symptom recurrence or established comprehensive predictive models have not yet elucidated. This study aimed to establish a prediction model for symptom recurrence following focused ultrasound ablation surgery (FUAS) in adenomyosis based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based classification system incorporating serum cancer antigen (CA) 125 levels. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 502 adenomyosis patients, divided into recurrence (n=133) and non-recurrence (n=369) groups. Patients were stratified by MRI lesion extent: ≥2/3 uterine wall involvement (n=446) vs
