FIGURE 1 Life-table analysis of the successful treatment outcome. (A) Overall successful outcome. (B) Successful outcome by position of uterus. (C) Successful treatment outcome by end pressure. (D) Successful treatment outcome by intrauterine volume. The odds ratio of success was 0.36 (95% CI, 0.209 to 0.65; P=.008) if the uterus was retroverted, 0.42 (95% CI, 0.276 to 0.68; P=.01) if the end pressure decreases to <140 mm Hg, and 0.43 (95% CI, 0.22 to 0.83; P=.058) if the uterine volume is >10 mL.
