This document is an editorial Expression of Concern issued by the Editor-in-Chief for an earlier article about combining non-invasive and semi-invasive tests to diagnose minimal to mild endometriosis. The editorial states that concerns were raised about the reported P values for outcomes and the randomisation of baseline values, and that the author informed the editor that the original data are no longer available. It advises readers to interpret the results and conclusions with caution, without stating whether the author agrees or disagrees with the notice. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it is an Expression of Concern specifically tied to the diagnostic testing studies for minimal to mild endometriosis.
