Epidemiology of endometriosis: a large population-based database study from a healthcare provider with 2 million members

What is it about?

We observed a substantially lower prevalence of diagnosed endometriosis compared with previous reports in high risk populations, in line with population-based estimates from European databases (range 0.8–1.8%). Further characterisation of this cohort may help to understand what affects the prevalence of endometriosis in Israel, and to promote earlier diagnosis and improve management in clinical practice.
