OBJECTIVES: To describe duration of symptoms and patterns of diagnosis and referral in women with chronic pelvic pain. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort analysis of the MediPlus UK Primary Care Database. SETTING: One hundred and thirty-six gener…
OBJECTIVES: To estimate the prevalence and incidence in primary care of chronic pelvic pain in women in the UK. DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis of MediPlus UK Primary Care Database. SETTING: One hundred and thirty-six general practices in …
MediPlus UK Primary Care Database. Setting One hundred and thirty-six general practices in the UK. Population From 284,162 women aged 12-70 who were registered on the database and who had a general practice contact in 1991,24,053 chronic pe…
Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, most commonly on the ovary and peritoneum. The aetiology of endometriosis is not understood, although the adhesion of endometrial ce…
OBJECTIVE: To obtain a prevalence estimate for chronic pelvic pain in women in the United Kingdom by analysing published data. DESIGN: Systematic review of published papers. SETTING: The general population or hospitals in the United Kingdom…
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to measure anti-endometrial antibody concentrations in the serum of women with endometriosis. Pooled cytosolic protein extracts from the endometrial gland cells of 10 women were use…
Uterine endometrium contains numerous bone marrow-derived cells. The spectrum of cell types is different from that of any other tissue, and the differences in endometrium from women with endometriosis may reflect a different endometrial phe…

The present study investigates the specificity of anti-endometrial antibodies present in serum of women with endometriosis. A two colour indirect immuno-histochemical method was used, so that the antigenic reactivity of endogenous immunoglo…
The objective of this study is to determine in a group of subfertile women whether patient history can differentiate women with a healthy pelvis from those with endometriosis or adnexal adhesions. In this prospective study, consecutive subf…
Isolation of pure preparations of the different cell populations of human endometrium is a prerequisite for studies of in-vitro function. Sieving of dispersed endometrial cells, followed by adsorption onto immunomagnetic microspheres coated…
Appropriate endometrial differentiation is believed to be a prerequisite for pregnancy success. This study investigates the expression of two intermediate filament proteins, cytokeratin and vimentin, in human endometrium and first trimester…
Twenty-eight women with suspected endometriosis or infertility, or both, received radiolabelled monoclonal antibody OC-125 F(ab')2 fragments before surgery in a study to determine whether foci of pelvic endometriosis could be displayed with…
Anti-endometrial antibody binding was localized using a double-labelling immunohistochemical method on frozen sections of endometrium taken from a woman without pelvic disease. Serum from 40 women with endometriosis was tested and, as contr…
