Evolution of Endometriosis Lesions Followed by Ultrasound and Quality of Life of Patients: Factors That Influence Disease Progression in a Prospective Cohort
Sponsor: Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau
Summary
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to determine the factors that influence the progression of endometriosis and the quality of life of patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is endometriosis a progressive disease? 2. Is the progression of lesions visualized by ultrasound dependent on the medical treatment received? 3. Does the clinical progression of patients correlate with the progression of lesions visualized on transvaginal ultrasound? 4. Is ultrasound follow-up necessary for patients? 5. Could clinical follow-up alone be safe for selected patients? Researchers will follow up a prospective cohort of 100 patients diagnosed with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) +/- endometriomas during 2 years, collecting data regarding their ultrasound exam and their symptoms and quality of life at stablished controls at recruitment, 6 months, 12 months and 24 months.
