About

There is no validated tool in quality-of-life assessment of women with endometriosis in Croatia. First aim is to validate Endometriosis Health Profile-5 (EHP-5) before implementing this questionnaire in clinical practice. After validation, we will prospectively follow women with endometriosis through whole process - pre- and postoperatively.

Full description

There is no validated tool in quality-of-life assessment of women with endometriosis in Croatia. First aim is to validate Endometriosis Health Profile-5 (EHP-5) before implementing this questionnaire in clinical practice. After validation, we will prospectively follow women with endometriosis through whole process - pre- and postoperatively, including comparison with rASRM and Enzian score which are already established in our Clinic.

We will try to identify correlation between EHP-5 score and surgical findings and to provide better insight in quality of life consideration of women with endometriosis particularly in Croatia. Since we are tertiary referral centre with almost 250 operative procedures which include ovarian, pelvic and/or extra pelvic endometriosis, we believe that this study will bring new tool not only for preoperative assessment but postoperative surveillance.
