The 5th, 50th, and 95th percentiles for EMT were determined as 8, 11, and 14\u00a0mm, respectively. Patients were sub-divided into four groups based on their EMT in different endometrial patterns (Group 1:\u2009&lt;\u20098\u00a0mm; Group 2:\u2009\u2265\u20098 and\u2009\u2264\u200911\u00a0mm; Group 3:\u2009&gt;\u200911 and\u2009\u2264\u200914\u00a0mm; Group 4:\u2009&gt;\u200914\u00a0mm).
