The provided text is not a biomedical research paper but rather an automated security message from a website protected by Anubis, a bot mitigation system. It explains that the site is currently inaccessible because the visitor failed a Proof-of-Work challenge designed to deter AI scraping and reduce server load. The message notes that this is a temporary solution while more advanced fingerprinting techniques for headless browsers are developed. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate both the content of treatment counseling and the extent of shared decision making (SDM) for patients with deep endometriosis (DE) and bowel involvement in specialised endometriosis centers in the Netherlands. Methods: This multicenter cross-sectional observational study included audio-recorded treatment counseling consultations from patients with DE and bowel involvement across five specialised Dutch endometriosis centers. The content of treatment counseling was evaluated using a predefined checklist with relevant treatment options and their associated benefit and risks. SDM was assessed objectively using the Observing Patient Involvement (OPTION(5)) instrument and subjectively using the Shared Decision Making Questionnaires completed by patients (SDM-Q-9) and clinicians (SDM-Q-Doc). Potential determinants of SDM were explored using regression analyses. Results: A total of 39 counseling consultations conducted by nine gynaecologists were analysed. Assessment of the counseling content revealed considerable variation in the information provided during consultations. Surgical treatment was discussed comprehensively in most consultations, whereas counseling regarding hormonal treatment was less comprehensive. Observer-, patient-, and clinician-reported SDM all indicated a high level of SDM, with a median total OPTION(5) score of 75.0 (IQR 25.0), a median SDM-Q-9 score of 84.4, and a median SDM-Q-Doc score of 75.6. Consultation duration was positively associated with OPTION(5) scores. Conclusion: Considerable variation was observed in the content of treatment counseling for patients with DE and bowel involvement in specialized Dutch endometriosis centers, particularly regarding hormonal treatment. Despite this variation, the overall level of SDM was high. Opportunities remain to improve the consistency and completeness of information provision while maintaining a high level of SDM. Practice implications: Although SDM was well embedded in clinical practice, greater attention should be paid to ensuring consistent and comprehensive treatment information. Counseling tools and/or decision aids may support clinicians and patients in discussing all relevant treatment options, benefits, and risks while maintaining individualized care.

Making sure you're not a bot! Loading... You are seeing this because the administrator of this website has set up Anubis to protect the server against the scourge of AI companies aggressively scraping websites. This can and does cause downtime for the websites, which makes their resources inaccessible for everyone. Anubis is a compromise. Anubis uses a Proof-of-Work scheme in the vein of Hashcash, a proposed proof-of-work scheme for reducing email spam. The idea is that at individual scales the additional load is ignorable, but at mass scraper levels it adds up and makes scraping much more expensive. Ultimately, this is a placeholder solution so that more time can be spent on fingerprinting and identifying headless browsers (EG: via how they do font rendering) so that the challenge proof of work page doesn't need to be presented to users that are much more likely to be legitimate. Please note that Anubis requires the use of modern JavaScript features that plugins like JShelter will disable. Please disable JShelter or other such plugins for this domain.
