“…This rate is higher than the previously reported rates of 4.4% and 1.4% found among women undergoing laparoscopic evaluation for tubal factor infertility in Nigeria. However, the present rate was much lower than the rate of 54.9% reported among infertile women in India …”

“…[1][2][3][4] The main symptoms are chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Some large-scale studies showed a prevalence of endometriosis in 25% to 40% of infertile women, 5,6 as well as low basal ovarian reserve, low fertility rate, and embryo cleavage. 7 In addition, the pro-inflammatory and angiogenic factors in the ectopic endometrium may contribute to abnormal placentation 2,8 and to develop major obstetrical complications including activation of the mechanisms involved in preterm birth (PB) 1,2,9 ; newborns of these women need more frequent neonatal intensive care unit admissions.…”

“…Endometriosis was staged during surgical visualization according to the revised American Fertility Society (rAFS) [85] or revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rASRM) [86] and was reported in 26 studies (Supplemental Table 1). A total of 19 studies provided staging details based on the rAFS system [32,37,39,49,50,52,54,56,[58][59][60][61][62][63]70,72,76,81,83], and 7 studies were staged by the rASRM [26,29,34,38,40,64,67] system. A total of 20 studies (77%) were either based in a single hospital or clinic or used data from a hospital or insurance system.…”

Objective: Current estimates of endometriosis prevalence and incidence are highly variable, leading to uncertainty regarding true endometriosis frequency or validity of quantified changes over time. We present a comprehensive review of the prevalence, incidence, and stage of endometriosis worldwide as reported over the past 30 years. Data Sources: We conducted a systematic search of observational studies using the PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and CINAHL databases to identify research papers published in English between January 1989 and June 2019. Search terminologies were limited to titles containing endometriosis and prevalence or incidence, or epidemiology, or frequency, or occurrence, or statistics. Methods of Study Selection: Two independent reviewers screened abstracts for study eligibility, and data from included studies were abstracted. Tabulation, Integration, and Results: Overall, 69 studies describing the prevalence and/or incidence of endometriosis met the inclusion criteria. Among these, 26 studies involved general population samples, 17 of which were from regional/ national hospitals or insurance claims systems. The other 43 studies were conducted in single clinic or hospital settings. Prevalence estimates for endometriosis widely varied from 0.2% to 71.4% depending on the population sampled. The prevalence reported in general population studies ranged from 0.7% to 8.6%, whereas that reported in single clinic-or hospitalbased studies ranged from 0.2% to 71.4%. When defined by indications for diagnosis, endometriosis prevalence ranged from 15.4% to 71.4% among women with chronic pelvic pain, 9.0% to 68.0% among women presenting with infertility, and 3.7% to 43.3% among women undergoing tubal sterilization. A meta-regression was conducted with year as the predictor of prevalence. No trend across time was observed among "general population in country/region" studies (b = 0.04, p = .12) or among "single hospital or clinic" studies (b = ˗0.02, p = .34); however, a decrease over time was observed among general population studies abstracted from health systems or insurance systems (b = À0.10, p = .005). Conclusion:As with all human studies, population sampling and study design matter. Heterogeneity of inclusion and diagnostic criteria and selection bias overwhelmingly account for variability in endometriosis prevalence estimated across the literature. Thus, it is difficult to conclude if the lack of observed change in frequency and distribution of endometriosis over the past 30 years is valid.
