This cross-sectional study assessed patient-centeredness of endometriosis care in a national sample of 476 Swedish women with confirmed endometriosis, recruited from 10 gynecology clinics and surveyed online using the ENDOCARE questionnaire (ECQ) plus background questions. Participants rated experiences across 10 dimensions and overall care, and univariate/multiple regression analyses tested demographic and clinical determinants of patient-centeredness, with the stated limitation that recruitment achieved a 47.6% response rate. Women reported low patient-centeredness overall and rated relational aspects of care with healthcare professionals as the most important; having a gynecologist with patient responsibility emerged as an independent predictor of higher patient-centeredness. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it examines demographic and clinical factors determining patient-centeredness in Swedish endometriosis care using the ENDOCARE questionnaire.
