The effect of endometriosis and its radical laparoscopic excision on quality of life indicators
Open accessAbstract
Objective To assess the effect of endometriosis and radical laparoscopic excision on the quality of life of women with this condition. Design A prospective study. Setting The Northern Endometriosis Centre at South Cleveland Hospital, Middlesbrough and St. James's University Hospital, Leeds. Population Fifty-seven consecutive patients undergoing laparoscopic excision of invasive endometriosis. Methods Questionnaires, both pre-operatively and four-month post-operatively, for a number of different symptoms associated with endometriosis were completed by patients. Details of fertility, previous treatments and quality of life as measured by SF12 and EuroQOL (EQ-5D) and sexual activity questionnaire, as well as linear pain scores for several symptoms, were recorded. Details of intra-operative findings was also collected. Main outcome measures Effect of laparoscopic excision on pain scores and quality of life, operative findings, type of surgery, length of surgery and incidence of intra- and post-operative complications. Results Patients with endometriosis were severely ill with significant pain and impairment of quality of life and sexual activity. Four months after radical laparoscopic excision for deep endometriosis there was significant improvement in all the parameters measured including their quality of life based on EuroQOL evaluation: EQ-5D (0 x 595:0 x 729, P = 0 x 002) and EQ thermometer (68 x 9:77 x 7, P = 0 x 008); SF12 physical score (44 x 8:51 x 9, P = 0 x 015); sexual…

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.
