Is the 30-item Endometriosis Health Profile (EHP-30) suitable as a self-report health status instrument for clinical trials?
Open accessAbstract
This prospective study aimed to evaluate the suitability of the Endometriosis Health Profile-30 Questionnaire (EHP-30) as a self-report health status instrument. We compared our results with those from the U.K. and the U.S. and discovered relationships between the EHP-30 and patient characteristics. The results showed that the EHP 30 questionnaire is a user-friendly self-report tool suitable for use in endometriosis-related clinical research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
