Improving health-related quality of life in patients with endometriosis-related chronic pain: the COGENS trial
BMC women's health ·doi:10.1186/s12905-026-04340-2

RESEARCH QUESTION: Endometriosis-related chronic pain leads to impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Endometriosis surgery can improve chronic pain and HRQoL, however, pain complaints often remain and HRQoL is still lower compare…

Improving health-related quality of life in patients with endometriosis-related chronic pain: The COGENS trial
·doi:10.21203/rs.3.rs-7907021/v1

Abstract Research Question: Endometriosis-related chronic pain leads to impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Endometriosis surgery can improve chronic pain and HRQoL, but not to the same level as healthy women. Cognitive beh…

Local production of 17β-oestradiol in the endometrium during the implantation window: a pilot study.
Reproduction & fertility ·doi:10.1530/raf-23-0065

AbstractSex steroids are converted to bioactive metabolites and vice versa by endometrial steroid-metabolising enzymes. Studies indicate that alterations in this metabolism might affect endometrial receptivity. This pilot study determined w…

The endometrial microbiota of women with or without a live birth within 12 months after a first failed IVF/ICSI cycle.
Scientific reports ·doi:10.1038/s41598-023-30591-2

The endometrial microbiota composition may be associated with implantation success. However, a 'core' composition has not yet been defined. This exploratory study analysed the endometrial microbiota by 16S rRNA sequencing (V1-V2 region) of …

Value-based healthcare in fertility care using relevant outcome measures for the full cycle of care leading towards shared decision-making: a retrospective cohort study.
BMJ open ·doi:10.1136/bmjopen-2023-074587

ObjectiveTo determine if the introduction of value-based healthcare (VBHC) in fertility care can help to create realistic expectations in patients resulting in increased patient value, by demonstrating the relevance of defining outcome meas…

Economic evaluation of endometrial scratching before the second IVF/ICSI treatment: a cost-effectiveness analysis of a randomized controlled trial (SCRaTCH trial).
Human reproduction (Oxford, England) ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deab261

Study questionIs a single endometrial scratch prior to the second fresh IVF/ICSI treatment cost-effective compared to no scratch, when evaluated over a 12-month follow-up period?Summary answerThe incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) …

Endometrial scratching in women with one failed IVF/ICSI cycle-outcomes of a randomised controlled trial (SCRaTCH).
Human reproduction (Oxford, England) ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deaa268

Study questionDoes endometrial scratching in women with one failed IVF/ICSI treatment affect the chance of a live birth of the subsequent fresh IVF/ICSI cycle?Summary answerIn this study, 4.6% more live births were observed in the scratch g…

Endometrial scratching in women with implantation failure after a first IVF/ICSI cycle; does it lead to a higher live birth rate? The SCRaTCH study: a randomized controlled trial (NTR 5342).
BMC women's health ·doi:10.1186/s12905-017-0378-y

BackgroundSuccess rates of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) are approximately 30%, with the most important limiting factor being embryo implantation. Mechanical endometrial injury, also called 'scratching', has been proposed to positi…
