Uterine fibroid management: from the present to the future (2016, background): “Leiomyomas occur in 50–60% of women, rising to 70% by the age of 50 (Baird et al., 2003), and, in 30% of cases, cause morbidity due to abnormal uterine bleeding (heavy menstrual bleeding inducing anemia) and pelvic pressure (urinary symptoms, constipation and tenesmus) (Donnez and Jadoul, 2002;…”
Etiology, symptomatology, and diagnosis of uterine myomas. (2007, background): “Caucasian women have an incidence of 40% by age 35, and almost 70% by age 50 (7).”
FIGO classification system (PALM‐COEIN) for causes of abnormal uterine bleeding in nongravid women of reproductive age (2011, background): “women of African ancestry [29]), their spectrum of size and location (subendometrial, intramural, subserosal, and combinations of these), and the variable number of lesions in a given uterus require that they be afforded a separate categorization in the system.”
Bayesian Semiparametric Structural Equation Models with Latent Variables (2010, methodology): “5.1 Background and Description We initially consider an application to data from an NIEHS study of uterine fibroids (Baird et al. (2003)), a common reproductive tract tumor, which rarely becomes malignant, but leads to substantial morbidity.”
