Endurance of Endometriosis Patients after Surgery Using Survival Analysis

Mohammad Nassar for Researches (MNFR) 2021-07-12

Endometriosis is a disease that affects reproductive-aged women. Endometriosis is not a deadly disease but can cause severe pain and infertility. The delay in diagnosis caused the lesion was already quite large by the time it was discovered. One of reasons for the delay in diagnosis is assumption that pain during menstruation is normal. Nowadays, solution for this disease is surgery because cure has not been found yet. However, it does not guarantee recurrence of endometriosis. Therefore, this study aims to look for factors that affect the resilience of endometriosis patients since surgery using extended cox models. Results showed that age, surgical history, die, the largest lesion, endometriosis type, and type of surgery significantly affect on recurrence. Patients who have history of surgery, will have a risk of relapse 2.45 times compared to not have surgical history. Someone who has grade III or IV is 2.34 times as likely to relapse as someone who has grade I or II. Laparoscopic patients have 2.27 times more likely to experience recurrence than laparotomy. Someone who has higher age has lower risk of recurrence assuming other covariates are constant.
