However, EFI calculation requires laparoscopy. Newly established imaging techniques such as sliding sign, that is used to diagnose Pouch of Douglas obliteration, could provide a promising alternative. The objective of this study is to investigate the practicality of using ultrasound data to predict low EFI (score ≤6).\nItem Metadata\n| Title |\nNegative sliding sign during dynamic ultrasonography predicts low endometriosis fertility index at laparoscopy\n|\n| Creator | |\n| Publisher |\nElsevier Inc.\n|\n| Date Issued |\n2020-05-13\n|\n| Description |\nEndometriosis fertility index (EFI) is a robust tool to predict pregnancy rate in endometriosis patients who are attempting non-in vitro fertilization conception.
