The Formation of A Scoring System To Diagnose Endometriosis
Endometriosis is diagnosed by direct visualization of the lesion, with or without histopathology confirmation, which is often declined by the patients. A non-invasive diagnostic scoring system was formulated to identify patients high likely to have endometriosis, who refused to undergo surgery for diagnosis confirmation. Objectives: To evaluate the reliability of a non-invasive diagnostic scoring system to diagnose endometriosis. Results: A non-invasive diagnostic tool named CliEndomet was formulated based on clinical presentation, ultrasound findings and serum Ca125 of patients. Conclusion: CliEndomet scoring system is a reliable diagnostic tool to diagnose endometriosis in patients who refuse to undergo surgical diagnosis and intervention
