To coincide with Endometriosis Awareness Month, the IDEA group has successfully published the results of IDEA phase 1 in Fertility Sterility

Results from 1,182 consecutive women with complete ultrasound she surgical data demonstrated:

For DE overall, the diagnostic performance of TVS was as follows: AUC 0.88 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.85-0.90), sensitivity 95% (95% CI 94%-97%), specificity 80% (95% CI 75%-85%), PPV 95% (95% CI 93%-96%), NPV 82% (95% CI 77%-87%).

The new gold standard for the non-invasive diagnosis of deep endometriosis is ultrasound.

A big thank you to our international collaborators from Belgium, Austria, Hungary, Australia, Italy, Spain and Israel. This has the largest multi-centre prospective DTA study evaluating the performance of the IDEA methodology……now we move into IDEA phase 2.

Stories like this matter. They remind us why awareness, early diagnosis and compassion are so important when it comes to endometriosis.

A recent study amplifies the stories of 25 young people growing up with endometriosis, many of whom faced stigma and silence instead of support. Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 people assigned female at birth worldwide and breaking the silence starts with honest conversations.
