Multicenter External Validation of the Deep Pelvic Endometriosis Index Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Preoperative mapping of deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE) is crucial as surgery can be complex and the quality of preoperative information is key.

Objective

To evaluate the Deep Pelvic Endometriosis Index (dPEI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) score in a multicenter cohort.

Design, setting, and participants

In this cohort study, the surgical databases of 7 French referral centers were retrospectively queried for women who underwent surgery and preoperative MRI for DPE between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2020. Data were analyzed in October 2022.

Intervention

Magnetic resonance imaging scans were reviewed using a dedicated lexicon and classified according to the dPEI score.

Main outcomes and measures

Operating time, hospital stay, Clavien-D
