Difference in uterine horn diameter (mm) | 11.0 ± 7.5a | 7.5 ± 5.2ab | 8.6 ± 5.2ab | 2.6 ± 1.2b | 3.5 ± 2.4b | 1.7 ± 1.7b | 3.9 ± 3.3b | 3.0 ± 1.6b | 2.9 ± 1.7b | 3.2 ± 2.3b |
All values are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. a,b,cValues with different superscripts within a row (p < 0.05). Cervix diameter (mm) = diameter at the thickest part of the cervix. Uterine horn diameter (mm) = mean diameter of both uterine horns measured 2 cm from the uterine body bifurcation. Difference in uterine horn diameter (mm) = difference between the diameters of both uterine horns measured 2 cm from the uterine body bifurcation.
