Participant reported by online questionnaire.
Clinician reported on paper form and then entered into online questionnaire.
Clinician reported directly into online questionnaire on the day of surgery.
Parentheses indicate how variables listed below were assessed, by physical examination vs ultrasound.
Variable used to determine study inclusion criterion for endometriosis diagnosis: otherwise clinically suspected endometriosis by the gynecologist based on history and physical examination at the initial visit (in the absence of a previous negative laparoscopy result).
Variable used to determine study inclusion criterion for endometriosis diagnosis: previous surgical diagnosis before the initial visit (visual-only diagnosis or histologic confirmation).
Variable used to determine study inclusion criterion for endometriosis diagnosis: current ovarian endometriosis cyst informed by endovaginal ultrasound at the initial visit.
Variable used to determine study inclusion criterion for endometriosis diagnosis: current deep infiltrating endometriosis nodule informed by palpation during pelvic examination or endovaginal ultrasound at the initial visit.
