Abstract

This article studies endometriosis diagnosed in patients undergoing laparoscopy for infertility and/or pain from 1982 to 1988. The diagnosis of endometriosis at laparoscopy increased from 42% in 1982 to 72% in 1988. The greatest change is in "subtle" lesions, which increased from 15% in 1986 to 65% in 1988. An increased awareness and histologic confirmation of the protean presentation of endometriosis is associated with a significant increase in the diagnosis of endometriosis at laparoscopy.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • For superficial peritoneal lesions, histological confirmation matters because lesions vary in appearance, including classic blue-black and non-classic clear, red, yellow-brown, white, or scar-like forms.

    “Such confirmation is important for superficial peritoneal lesions, which vary to include classic (blueblack; considered 'diagnostic') and non-classic or subtle (clear or red, yellowish brown, white, scar-like) lesions”

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.
