Study Question: How do endometriosis diagnoses and subtypes reported in administrative health data compare with surgically confirmed disease?
Summary Answer: For endometriosis diagnosis, we observed substantial agreement and high sensitivity and specificity between administrative health data-International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 9 codes-and surgically confirmed diagnoses among participants who underwent gynecologic laparoscopy or laparotomy.
What Is Known Already: Several studies have assessed the validity of self-reported endometriosis in comparison to medical record reporting, finding strong confirmation. We previously reported high inter- and intra-surgeon agreement for endometriosis diagnosis in the Endometriosis, Natural History, Diagnosis, and Outcomes (ENDO) Study.

Epilepsy is an important cause of disability and mortality worldwide. It can be frequently misdiagnosed, and detailed history and relevant investigations are needed to differentiate epilepsy from syncope. Electroencephalogram is a key noninvasive assessment of neurological function, and the diagnostic yield is increased when performed for an extended period in the ambulatory setting with concurrent electrocardiogram and video monitoring.

Objective: Clinical decisions on managing epilepsy patients rely on patient accuracy regarding seizure reporting. Studies have noted disparities between patient-reported seizures and electroencephalographic (EEG) findings during video-EEG monitoring periods, chiefly highlighting underreporting of seizures, a well-recognized phenomenon. However, seizure overreporting is a significant problem discussed within the literature, although not in such a large cohort.
