Background: While the majority of reproductive-aged females will experience pelvic pain during their lives, biological mechanisms underlying pelvic pain are not well understood. We investigated associations between pelvic pain symptoms and …

INTRODUCTION: Prior studies have investigated the diagnostic potential of microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles for endometriosis. However, the vast majority of previous studies have only included adult women. Therefore, we sought to investi…

BACKGROUND: Noninvasive biomarkers that predict surgical treatment response would inform personalized treatments and provide insight into potential biologic pathways underlying endometriosis-associated pain and symptom progression. OBJECTI…

Chronic pelvic pain is heterogeneous with potentially clinically informative subgroups. We aimed to identify subgroups of pelvic pain based on symptom patterns and investigate their associations with inflammatory and chronic pain-related co…

Supplementary Figure 2 shows two forest plots depicting the association between (A) dietary folate intake and (B) supplemental folate intake and ovarian cancer for women with endometriosis, stratified by potential effect modifiers

Supplementary Figure 3 shows scatter plots with the genetic association with folate on the x-axis and the genetic association with ovarian cancer on the y-axis, for (A) women with and (B) without endometriosis. The regression line for the i…

Supplementary Table 2 shows the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) used as instruments for folate level in the Mendelian randomization analysis.

Supplementary Table 3 shows the associations between folate intake (dietary, supplemental, total) and ovarian cancer by endometriosis status, and by histological subtype (endometrioid/clear cell cancers and high grade serous cancers).

Supplementary Table 4 shows the association between glycemic index, glycemic load, grain intake and risk of ovarian cancer for women with and without endometriosis.

Supplementary Table 5 shows the results from the different Mendelian randomization methods investigating the association between genetically predicted folate and risk of ovarian cancer, by endometriosis status

Generally, risk stratification models for cancer use effect estimates from risk/protective factor analyses that have not assessed potential interactions between these exposures. We have developed a 4-criterion framework for assessing intera…

BACKGROUND: Women are at greater risk than men of developing chronic inflammatory conditions and "long COVID." However, few gynecologic health risk factors for long COVID-19 have been identified. Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disord…

INTRODUCTION: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common condition affecting up to 26.6% of women, with many suffering for several years before diagnosis and/or treatment. Its clinical presentation is varied and there are frequently comorbid con…

AbstractMenstrual pain has been associated with increased ovarian cancer risk, presumably through increased inflammation, which is known to play a critical role in ovarian carcinogenesis. Analgesic medications are frequently used to treat m…
