Endometriosis subtypes and risk of type 2 diabetes: the Advancing Research on Cardiovascular Health and Endometriosis Study (ARCHES) retrospective cohort study.

Endometriosis is a heterogeneous inflammatory condition that may influence long-term metabolic health. Prior studies have reported largely null associations with type 2 diabetes, potentially missing subtype-specific and subgroup heterogeneity. We …

The AGCES Classification System for Endometriosis: Integrating Adenomyosis with Genital and Extragenital Staging-An Expert Consensus Framework from the American & Global College of Endometriosis Specialists (AGCES).

Background: Current endometriosis classification systems have important limitations in accurately describing total disease burden and predicting clinical outcomes. Existing staging frameworks often fail to integrate adenomyosis and do not adequately …

Non-invasive endometriosis staging prediction using integrated radiomics and spatiotemporal transformer model based on dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI.

Precise staging of endometriosis remains a clinical challenge, as current diagnosis depends almost entirely on laparoscopic visualization-an invasive procedure marked by considerable inter-observer disagreement and diagnostic delays. Existing non-invasive approaches, …

Regarding "Is endometriosis staging related to the type and intensity of patients' complaints? A systematic review and meta-analysis": Toward a symptom-oriented framework in endometriosis.

Relationship between endometriosis diagnosis, staging, and typology and inflammatory cytokines.

To study whether incident endometriosis diagnosis, staging, and typology are associated with concurrent elevated serum inflammatory markers interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF- α …

Relationship between serum CA125, prolactin and cortisol levels with disease stage and pain level in endometriosis patients.

Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Diagnostic delays are common due to nonspecific symptoms …

Evaluating serum cyclooxygenase-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor as biomarkers for endometriosis severity in reproductive-age women.

Endometriosis affects approximately 10-15% of reproductive-age women and up to 70% of those with chronic pelvic pain, with diagnosis typically relying on invasive laparoscopy with histopathological confirmation. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and …

The diagnostic value of serum inflammation, coagulation and tumor indexes in differentiating stage III and IV ovarian endometriotic cysts.

Ovarian endometriotic cysts (OEC) are classified into early (I-II) and advanced (III-IV) stages. Stage IV OEC is characterized by severe adhesions and anatomical distortion that complicate surgical management. Accurate preoperative …

Regarding "Is endometriosis staging related to the type and intensity of patients' complaints? A systematic review and meta-analysis".

Firstly, this meta-analysis[1] included a total of eight studies, seven of which used the rASRM classification, while only one applied the ENZIAN classification; the latter was not included in the …

Endometriosis phenotypes and staging in relation to lipid biomarkers: Findings from the ENDO Cohort Study.

Endometriosis has been linked to cardiometabolic alterations, but whether these associations vary by disease severity or phenotype is unclear. We examined lipid profiles across endometriosis diagnosis, stage, and typology.
