Additionally, in the case group, we divided both unilateral (n\u2009=\u200932) and bilateral endometrioma patients (n\u2009=\u200938) into three groups based on the size of endometrioma.

Moreover, no significant difference was observed in the baseline level of AMH between the case 2.96\u2009\u00b1\u20092.72 ng\/dl (0.21\u201311.3) and control 2.73\u2009\u00b1\u20092.39 (0.21\u201312.8) groups. (P\u2009=\u20090.59) There was also no significant difference concerning AMH level between unilateral 3.58\u2009\u00b1\u20093.20 ng\/dl (0.21\u201312.8) and bilateral endometrioma 2.45\u2009\u00b1\u20092.14 (0.21\u2009\u2212\u20090.20) groups. In terms of the quality and number of embryos, there was no significant difference between the case and control groups. (P\u2009=\u20090.30) Although the AMH level decreased with the increase in endometrioma size, this difference was not statistically significant. (P\u2009=\u20090.07) There was no significant difference in terms of the embryo quality between the groups based on the size of endometrioma. (P\u2009=\u20090.77) In addition, no significant difference was observed between the case and control groups in the terms of birth weight and pregnancy complications, such as premature delivery, cesarean section rate, neonatal respiratory distress, jaundice, as well as hospitalization rate.
