Psychiatric disorders and mortality due to external causes following diagnosis of endometriosis at a young age: a longitudinal register-based cohort study in Finland.

Background: Endometriosis diagnosed in adults is associated with increased risk of various psychiatric disorders. However, little is known concerning psychiatric comorbidity and mortality due to external causes associated with endometriosis diagnosed at a young age.

Objective: This longitudinal cohort study aimed to investigate the link between surgical diagnosis of endometriosis at a young age and subsequent psychiatric disorders and mortality due to external causes.

The genetic basis of endometriosis and comorbidity with other pain and inflammatory conditions.

Endometriosis is a common condition associated with debilitating pelvic pain and infertility. A genome-wide association study meta-analysis, including 60,674 cases and 701,926 controls of European and East Asian descent, identified 42 genome-wide significant loci comprising 49 distinct association signals. Effect sizes were largest for stage 3/4 disease, driven by ovarian endometriosis.

Surgically confirmed endometriosis in adolescents in Finland-A register-based cross-sectional cohort study.

Introduction: Increasing awareness of endometriosis in adolescents requires data on the nature of the disease and its management. Our objective was to investigate the subtypes of surgically confirmed endometriosis in adolescents (aged <20 years) and trends in the incidence rates and endometriosis-related procedures during the study period, 1987-2012.

Material And Methods: In this register-based cohort study, we identified 526 adolescents receiving their initial surgical diagnosis of endometriosis between 1987 and 2012 from the Finnish Hospital Discharge Register.

Incidence of extraovarian clear cell cancers in women with surgically diagnosed endometriosis: A cohort study.

Background: Endometriosis is associated with increased risk of clear cell ovarian cancer and has even suggested being an etiological factor for this cancer. Association between endometriosis and extraovarian clear cell cancers is unclear. This study aimed to assess the association between surgically diagnosed endometriosis and risk of extraovarian clear cell cancers according to the type of endometriosis (i.

Pregnancy and delivery outcomes in women with rectovaginal endometriosis treated either conservatively or operatively.

Objective: To study reproductive outcomes, and pregnancy and delivery complications after conservative or operative treatment of rectovaginal endometriosis during long-term follow-up.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: University hospital.

A cohort study of 49 933 women with surgically verified endometriosis: Increased incidence of breast cancer below the age of 40.

Introduction: The association between endometriosis and breast cancer is unclear. We assessed the risk of breast cancer in women with surgically verified endometriosis, with special focus on the age at cancer diagnosis, time from endometriosis diagnosis and breast cancer histology.

Material And Methods: All women with first endometriosis-associated diagnoses occurring concomitantly with relevant surgical codes during 1987-2012 were retrieved from the Finnish Hospital Discharge Register in Finland.

A Nationwide Cohort Study on the risk of non-gynecological cancers in women with surgically verified endometriosis.

We assessed the association of surgically verified endometriosis and risk of non-gynecological cancers according to the type of endometriosis (i.e., ovarian, peritoneal and deep infiltrating endometriosis).

Risk of Gynecologic Cancer According to the Type of Endometriosis.

Objective: To assess the risks of gynecologic cancer according to the type of endometriosis in women with surgically verified endometriosis.

Methods: This is a population-based study of women with surgically verified endometriosis retrieved from the Finnish Hospital Discharge Register 1987-2012 (N=49,933); the subtypes of ovarian (n=23,210), peritoneal (n=20,187), and deep infiltrating (n=2,372) endometriosis were analyzed separately. Gynecologic cancers were obtained from the Finnish Cancer Registry.

Trends in the incidence rate, type and treatment of surgically verified endometriosis - a nationwide cohort study.

Introduction: To study the trends in incidence rate, type and surgical treatment, and patient characteristics of surgically verified endometriosis during 1987-2012.

Material And Methods: This is a register-based cohort study. We identified women receiving their first diagnosis of endometriosis in surgery from the Finnish Hospital Discharge Register (FHDR).

Deep infiltrating endometriosis affecting the urinary tract-surgical treatment and fertility outcomes in 2004-2013.

Urinary tract endometriosis (UTE) is a rare form of deep infiltrating endometriosis. We studied the operative treatment of UTE and evaluated postoperative recurrences and fertility outcomes. This is a retrospective cohort study of 53 women who underwent operative treatment for UTE in 2004-2013 at Helsinki University Hospital, and were followed-up until the end of 2014.
