Hospitalisations and length of stays in women with endometriosis: a data linkage prospective cohort study.
Article in EClinicalMedicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Women with endometriosis have more hospitalisations compared to those without the condition. However, no longitudinal study has examined hospital admission rates and lengths of stay before and after diagnosis. We examined all-cause hospital admissions and lengths of stay among women with, versus without, endometriosis, and before, versus after, diagnosis. Methods: This study included 13,501 women of reproductive age, born in 1973-78. The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health survey data linked to administrative health records was used to identify women with endometriosis. Hospital admission rates and length of stays were examined using hospital records of patients admitted up to 2022. Analysis was conducted using mixed-effects zero-inflated negative binomial models. Findings: Women with endometriosis were more likely to be admitted to hospitals compared to those without the condition, with an adjusted incidence rate ratio (IRR) of 2.11 (95% CI: 1.83-2.43) for admissions per year. However, they had shorter hospital stays (IRR: 0.90; 0.81-0.99) for days per year and were more often discharged on the same day (odds ratio: 1.27; 1.20-1.33). Post-diagnosis, women experienced more hospitalisations and more days in hospital compared to their pre-diagnosis (IRR: 1.52; 1.22-1.88) and (IRR: 1.81; 1.53-2.14), respectively. Consistent findings were found for women with surgically confirmed or clinically suspected endometriosis. Interpretation: The higher number of hospitalisations among women with endometriosis, compared to those without, highlights the substantial burden of the condition on healthcare utilisation. The persistent frequent hospitalisations and longer stays post-diagnosis indicate recurrent endometriosis, posing significant management challenges. Funding: The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care.
