Method(s) A total of 625 patients with pathologically confirmed endometriosis were selected from December 2016 to June 2022 in Hainan Provincial people's Hospital. 308 patients with endometriosis were selected as case group and 317 patients without endometriosis as control group. There were 41 cases in the case group and 28 cases in the control group. The clinical characteristics and laboratory indexes of patients in the case group and the control group were compared: age, dysmenorrhea, progressive aggravation of symptoms, dysuria, abnormal menstruation, difficulty in sexual intercourse, low back and abdominal pain, infertility, carbohydrate antigen 125, monocyte percentage, monocyte absolute value, platelet, mean platelet volume, platelet volume distribution width, platelet volume ratio, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase. The independent risk factors were screened by binary Logistic regression analysis and the prediction model was constructed. Hosmer-Lemeshow was used to test the goodness of fit of the model and the subject working characteristic curve was used to judge the prediction efficiency of the model. Result(s) There were significant differences in age, dysmenorrhea, progressive aggravation of symptoms, abnormal menstruation, infertility, CA125, PCT, LDH and ALP between the two groups. The higher the CA125, the higher the risk of endometriosis, with statistical significance [OR = 1.023 (95% CI:1.016–1.029)], dysmenorrhea symptoms [OR = 3.467 (95% CI:2.052–5.859)], progressive symptoms [OR = 4.501 (95% CI:1.389–14.584)] and infertility [OR = 2.776 (95% CI:1.216–6.335)]. The higher the risk of endometriosis. The higher the LDH [OR = 0.993 (95% CI:0.987–0.999)] and the higher the ALP [OR = 0.977 (95% CI:0.962–0.991)], the lower the risk of endometriosis. The constructed model was verified by Hmurl and the result showed that P = 0.103, which suggested that the model fitted well. When the area under the model curve was 0.846 (95%CI:0.815–0.873) and the Jordan index was 0.5498, the best critical value was 0.478, the sensitivity was 69.81 and the specificity was 85.17. Conclusion(s) The model has good degree of fit and distinguishing ability, and can be used as an auxiliary means. Endometriosis Diagnosis model Dysmenorrhea CA125 Figures Figure 1 Introduction Endometriosis (Ems) is an estrogen-dependent disease in which endometrial tissue, including glands and mesenchyme, exists and grows in the cavity of the uterus outside the overlying lining and uterus. It often causes pain, infertility and pelvic masses. About 10–15% of women of childbearing age may be affected, affecting about 190 million women worldwide. The prevalence ranges from 2–11% in asymptomatic women, 5–50% in infertile women, and 5–21% in women with pelvic pain.EMs have a high recurrence rate, up to 30.5% after systemic treatment, and there is no effective treatment for recurrence. The pathogenesis of EMs is complex and the exact pathogenesis is still unknown.Theories of origin that have been put forward include the retrograde flow of menstrual blood theory, somatic epithelial metaplasia, lymphatic and vascular metastases. Menstrual reflux refers to the reflux of menstrual debris containing viable endometrial cells through the fallopian tubes into the peritoneal cavity where they grow and form ectopic foci, which is the classic theory for the origin of endometriosis. cysts, peritoneal endometriosis (SPE), i.e. various foci in the pelvis, peritoneal endometriosis (SPE), i.e. various foci in the pelvic peritoneum, and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), i.e. foci infiltrating to a depth of more than 5 mm [ 1 – 3 ] .OEC is the most common clinical type, accounting for 17–44% of all endometriosis [ 4 ] . The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) staging system is commonly used: stage I microscopic lesions, stage II mild, stage III moderate and stage IV severe. Diagnosis of endometriosis includes clinical and surgical diagnosis. Laparoscopy is a common means of diagnosing endometriosis [5], which is an invasive examination with high costs, surgical risks and the possibility of postoperative adhesion formation. In clinical practice, laparoscopy is more commonly used for the surgical treatment of endometriosis. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of endometriosis [ 6 , 7 ] . However, delayed diagnosis of endometriosis is common and leads to exacerbation of the disease. Therefore, early or timely diagnosis of endosteopathy is of great importance for the management of the disease. Based on the above clinical problems, this paper proposes to establish a clinical diagnostic model for endosteopathy based on clinical features and basic examinations to provide alternative means and methods for timely diagnosis of endosteopathy. 1 Information and methodology 1.1 Information 1.1.1 Research Objectives Patients who underwent surgical treatment with pathologically confirmed diagnosis at Hainan Hospital affiliated to Hainan Medical College (formerly Hainan Provincial People's Hospital) from December 2016 to June 2022 were selected, with 308 cases in the endometriosis group and 317 cases in the non-endometriosis group as the control group, for a total of 625 cases as modelling data. In addition, 41 cases of endometriosis and 28 cases of non-endometriosis were used as validation data. The American Fertility Society (AFS) staging method was used to stage the endometriosis group. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Hainan Provincial People's Hospital. See Tables 1 – 1 and 1 – 2 .

Exclusion criteria: severe chronic diseases combined with systemic diseases such as heart, brain, lung, kidney, liver failure and thyroid dysfunction in the case and control groups; malignant tumours and diseases of the immune system; patients with severe psychiatric disorders; cases with endometriosis in the control group; and incomplete medical history data. The hospital's electronic medical record system was used to search for the medical records of the study population: admission and discharge records, medical course records, surgical records, laboratory and imaging data. 1.2 Methods 1.2.1 Information collection Clinical data and some laboratory findings were collected from patients in the endometriosis group and the control group: age, dysmenorrhoea with or without progressive worsening, dyspareunia, menstrual abnormalities, dyspareunia, lumbar and abdominal pain, infertility, carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), monocyte percentage(MONOP), monocyte absolute value(MONON), platelet(PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), Platelet Volume Distribution Width (PDW), platelet volume ratio (PCT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Valuable indicators were screened by comparing the two groups. 1.2.2 Constructing diagnostic models and model validation Indicators with statistically significant differences were first subjected to one-way analysis, and those with statistically significant differences in one-way analysis (P < 0.1) were subjected to multifactorial logistic regression analysis, which was used to construct the diagnostic model. Goodness of fit and discrimination of the model were also assessed. The kappa consistency test was used to verify the predictive power of the model on data from 69 cases in the validation set. 1.3 Statistical treatment Data were analysed using SPSS 25.0 statistical software. Measurements were expressed as median and interquartile range, and comparisons between the two groups were made using the Mann-Whitney U rank-sum test; count data were expressed as cases (%), and comparisons were made using the χ2 test. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to screen for independent risk factors and to construct a prediction model, and the goodness of fit of the model was assessed by the Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) test. The predictive ability of the model was determined by plotting the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve using MedCal 2.0. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. 2 Results 2.1 Comparison of clinical characteristics between the two groups Differences in clinical data between the two groups were compared by χ2 or rank sum test. The differences between the two groups in terms of age, dysmenorrhoea symptoms, progressive worsening of symptoms, menstrual abnormalities, infertility, CA125, PCT, LDH, ALP were statistically significant (P 0.05). See Table 2 . 2.2 Logistic regression analysis of diagnostic indicators of endomorphism and their constructed models Statistically different indicators were subjected to univariate analysis of variance Indicators with P < 0.1 were used as independent variables, i.e. age, dysmenorrhoea symptoms, progressive worsening of symptoms, menstrual abnormalities, infertility, CA125, PCT, LDH, ALP. Multifactorial logistic regression equations were constructed using the forward stepwise method. The results showed that there was a statistically significant higher risk of developing endometriosis with higher CA125 [OR = 1.023 (95% CI: 1.016–1.029)], dysmenorrhoea symptoms [OR = 3.467 (95% CI: 2.052–5.859)], progressive worsening of symptoms [OR = 4.501 (95% CI: 1. Higher LDH [OR = 0.993 (95% CI: 0.987–0.999)], ALP [OR = 0.977 (95% CI: 0.962–0.991)] were statistically associated with a lower risk of developing endogamy (p < 0.05). A diagnostic model for endogamy was constructed as follows: Logistic (P) = (1.085) + 1.243 × dysmenorrhoea + 1.504 × progressive worsening of symptoms + (-1.461) × menstrual abnormality + 0.023 × CA125 + (-0.007) × LDH + (-0.024) × ALP.

The area under the ROC curve of this diagnostic model was 0.846 (95% CI: 0.815–0.873), and the optimal critical value of 0.478 was selected when the Yoden index was 0.5498, at which point the sensitivity of the ROC curve was 69.81 and the specificity was 85.17 (Fig. 1 ). In the clinical model validation, a further 69 patients in this study were selected and included in the model formula, when the cut-off value ≥ 0.478 the diagnosis of endometriosis was considered, kappa = 0.659 (P = 0.000), suggesting that the diagnosis was basically consistent with the pathological findings.

The main clinical manifestations are infertility, dysmenorrhoea, chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia and painful bowel movements. It has a high recurrence rate and an infertility rate that can be as high as 50%, causing great harm to women's reproductive health and a socioeconomic burden [ 8 , 9 ] . Despite the high prevalence, not everyone is aware of the disease; there is a delay of up to 9 years between symptom onset and diagnosis [ 6 ] , and the majority of patients may be misdiagnosed and not effectively treated. This allows the disease to progress, causing great physical and psychological harm to patients. Early diagnosis, early treatment, improved quality of life and improved reproductive function, therefore finding more efficient and reliable diagnostic methods is one of the main research focuses in EM. Currently, laparoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosing EMs. This procedure is invasive, carries some surgical risk and requires an experienced physician [ 7 ], and reliance on laparoscopy to diagnose EMs may delay the timing of this complex disease [ 3 ] . Transvaginal ultrasound is most sensitive for OEC, but less sensitive for mild forms, SPE and DIE, and is dependent on personal experience with the procedure [ 6 , 7 ] . Magnetic resonance imaging is sensitive for DIE, but is more expensive. The prevalence of EM is high (45%-50%) in patients with chronic pelvic pain and in asymptomatic women, and the absence of a clearly visible lesion or negative histology does not exclude EM, so clinical symptoms may be more helpful in making a diagnosis than exact lesions [ 3 ] . The development of a diagnostic model based on clinical symptoms and simple laboratory indicators for rapid and effective screening to provide a basis for further diagnosis and treatment [ 6 ] was the main aim of our present study. We selected dysmenorrhoea, progressive exacerbation of symptoms, menstrual abnormalities, infertility, CA125, LDH, ALP, dysuria, dyspareunia, dyspareunia, lumbar and abdominal pain, MONOP, MONON, PLT, MPV, PDW, PCT as diagnostic indices and constructed the diagnostic model using one-way and multifactorial logistic regression analysis. Unfortunately, in the results of our study: dysuria, dyspareunia, low back and abdominal pain, MONOP, MONON, PLT, MPV, PDW were not statistically different from the control group (P > 0.05); the difference between the menstrual abnormalities endometriosis group was lower than that of the control group was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Dysmenorrhoea, progressive worsening of symptoms, infertility and CA125 were independent risk factors for EM. There were no statistically significant differences between the case and control groups for difficulty with bowel and urinary functions, difficulty with sexual intercourse, and back and abdominal pain. This may be due to the small number of positive cases in the data from the trials we included to compare the differences. Inflammation can trigger the recruitment of monocytes from the bone marrow into the peripheral blood, where they infiltrate the tissues and develop into macrophages, which differentiate in the diseased tissue into pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages (which mainly secrete pro-inflammatory factors, initiate inflammation, play an important role in the early stages of inflammation, remove cellular debris of pathogenic microorganisms, etc.) and anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages (which secrete pro-inflammatory factors, initiate inflammation, play an important role in the early stages of inflammation, remove cellular debris of pathogenic microorganisms, etc.). ) and anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages (which inhibit inflammatory responses, tissue repair, pro-fibrotic activity, and are able to induce immune tolerance and fibrotic activity. and are able to induce immune tolerance and angiogenesis) [ 10 , 11 ] .Antonio Simone Lagan et al. reported a trend towards a progressive decrease in M1 macrophages and a gradual increase in M2 macrophages from stage I to stage IV in endometriosis. This trend contributes to the formation of a pro-inflammatory microenvironment in the early stages of the disease and the development of pro-fibrotic activity in the later stages [ 12 ] . The important role of monocytes in the development of EMs has been reported in the literature [ 13 , 14 ] , so they were included in our study index. However, in our results, the difference between the MONOP and MONON groups was not statistically significant when compared. This may be due to the fact that we did not select monocytes from the lesion site, but monocytes from peripheral blood, and only analysed the total number of monocytes and not their subtypes. A significant increase in peritoneal M2-type macrophages in patients with ovarian endometriotic cysts has been reported previously and is directly proportional to disease severity [ 12 ] . Cyclic bleeding of endometriosis lesions leads to repeated tissue damage and repair, activating platelets and immune cells in the lesion microenvironment, causing the ectopic lesion to undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition and fibroblast-myofibroblast transition, and ultimately fibrosis [ 15 – 17 ] . Platelets can induce endothelial cell proliferation, which allows endothelial cells to acquire new capabilities such as contraction, migration, invasion and collagen production. Platelets play a key role in the progression of ectopic foci and fibrosis formation and could be a potential target for the treatment of endometriosis [ 18 ] . Unfortunately, in our study, platelets did not differ between the two groups, which may be related to platelet physiological processes. Platelets are activated by a complex activation process that starts with the formation of a tightly packed 'core' of mainly fibrin-rich, P-selectin-positive platelets at the site of injury and a 'shell' of loose platelets that are arranged outside the core by attachment and adhesion. The platelets are then recruited to the circulating platelets. Circulating platelets are further recruited to act at the beginning of the lesion [ 19 ] . Therefore, platelets at the lesion site may be more variable than in peripheral blood [ 18 , 20 ] . Dysmenorrhoea is divided into primary dysmenorrhoea PD (Primary Dysmenorrhoea PD) and secondary dysmenorrhoea SD (Secondary Dysmenorrhoea SD).PD usually occurs 6–12 months after the onset of menstruation, occurs before or at the start of menstruation, lasts 8–72 hours, and is most severe on the first or second day of menstruation. Secondary dysmenorrhoea is caused by other conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis and pelvic inflammatory disease. It usually occurs 2–5 years after the onset of menstruation and can be associated with dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Endometriosis is the most common cause of secondary dysmenorrhoea [ 21 ] .EMs is a well-recognised chronic inflammatory disease that can lead to increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, prostaglandin overproduction, peripheral and central sensitisation and an abnormal stress response, resulting in secondary dysmenorrhoea with severe symptoms [ 21 ] . Progressive worsening of symptoms should raise a high index of suspicion for EMs, and the severity of primary dysmenorrhoea does not increase over time. Chronic inflammation of the peritoneal cavity in patients with EMs leads to ovarian dysfunction, altered fertilisation, pelvic adhesions affecting conception and increasing the likelihood of infertility [ 22 ] , and the infertility rate can be as high as 50%, and infertility is a good diagnostic indicator. CA125 is a well-established tumour marker produced in the epithelial cells of the body cavities during embryonic development, and its use in the diagnostic role of ovarian cancer has been widely accepted, and it is also elevated to varying degrees in the serum of patients with EMs [ 23 ] , with particularly high sensitivity in stage III/IV. For CA125 > 30U/mL, the sensitivity was 52.4% (95% CI 37.9–66.4%), the specificity was 92.7% (95% CI 89.4–95.1%), and for CA125 > 35.0U/mL, the sensitivity was 0.40 (95% CI 0.32–0.49), the specificity was 0.91 (95% CI 0.88–0.94) [ 24 ] . 0.94) [ 23 ] . Numerous studies have recommended the use of CA125 to aid in the diagnosis of patients with EMs [ 24 – 28 ] , but sensitivity is low when used alone. Lactate dehydrogenase, which is involved in the last step of glycolysis and plays an important role in metabolic reactions, is widely distributed in a variety of organs and tissues and has been used as an important diagnostic marker for common diseases such as cancer, infectious diseases and tuberculosis. It plays a key role in the clinical diagnosis of a variety of common and rare diseases, and the abnormal levels of isoforms of this enzyme are important biomarkers for various diseases [ 29 – 34 ] . A study by Yijuan Kang et al. indicated that the expression of the subunit of lactate dehydrogenase (LDHB) was significantly decreased in the cyst wall tissue of ovarian endometriotic cysts, suggesting an increase in glycolysis, which may be related to the tumour-like invasive and metastatic behaviour of endometriosis [ 35 ] .ALP is a metalloproteinase that catalyses the hydrolysis and transfer of phosphate groups under alkaline conditions. Four alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes are present in the human body: tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNALP), intestinal-type alkaline phosphatase (IALP), placental-type alkaline phosphatase (PALP) and germ cell alkaline phosphatase (GCAP). IALP, PALP and germ cell ALP are expressed in specific tissues (duodenum, syncytiotrophoblast and testis respectively), whereas TNALP is expressed in various tissues [ 36 ] . A study by Jae O. Kang et al. showed that the total alkaline phosphatase level was higher in the endometriosis group than in the control group, but the elevation could be due to a specific isoform, and because of the extremely low levels of the serum species, it was suggested that specific assays should be used to aid in the diagnosis of endometriosis [ 43 ] . For the first time, we used alkaline phosphatase as an indicator to construct a diagnostic model, but our findings were different from previous ones [ 43 , 44 ] . This may be due to the bias caused by detecting the total serum level without detecting the specific subtype. The diagnostic model of EMs constructed according to the above risk factors has a good fit and diagnostic efficacy, and can be used as an auxiliary tool for the preliminary clinical diagnosis of EMs. The proposed interventions for the proposed EMs are: (1) increase knowledge of EMs in key populations such as dysmenorrhoea and infertility, especially in adolescents and women of reproductive age; (2) pay attention to changes in serological indices; (3) provide early pharmacological intervention, if necessary; (4) promote active reproduction in women with reproductive needs. We included all patients with pathological findings after surgery and excluded the possibility of including patients with endogamy in the control group. However, the data in our study were based on a single-centre retrospective study and may have been inadequately collected. For example, for dysmenorrhoea, we made a simple distinction between presence and absence without further consideration of the type of pain (tingling, burning, aching, etc.) and the type of pain (e.g. dysmenorrhoea, non-cyclic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, etc.) as well as changes with the menstrual cycle. These deficiencies will be improved in our subsequent studies. The diagnostic model we have constructed for endometriosis has a good fit and discriminatory ability, and the indicators are easy to obtain, making it a reliable and practical diagnostic tool.

It often causes pain, infertility and pelvic masses. About 10\u0026ndash;15% of women of childbearing age may be affected, affecting about 190\u0026nbsp;million women worldwide. The prevalence ranges from 2\u0026ndash;11% in asymptomatic women, 5\u0026ndash;50% in infertile women, and 5\u0026ndash;21% in women with pelvic pain.EMs have a high recurrence rate, up to 30.5% after systemic treatment, and there is no effective treatment for recurrence. The pathogenesis of EMs is complex and the exact pathogenesis is still unknown.Theories of origin that have been put forward include the retrograde flow of menstrual blood theory, somatic epithelial metaplasia, lymphatic and vascular metastases. Menstrual reflux refers to the reflux of menstrual debris containing viable endometrial cells through the fallopian tubes into the peritoneal cavity where they grow and form ectopic foci, which is the classic theory for the origin of endometriosis. cysts, peritoneal endometriosis (SPE), i.e. various foci in the pelvis, peritoneal endometriosis (SPE), i.e. various foci in the pelvic peritoneum, and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), i.e. foci infiltrating to a depth of more than 5 mm \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR2\" citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e.OEC is the most common clinical type, accounting for 17\u0026ndash;44% of all endometriosis \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) staging system is commonly used: stage I microscopic lesions, stage II mild, stage III moderate and stage IV severe. Diagnosis of endometriosis includes clinical and surgical diagnosis. Laparoscopy is a common means of diagnosing endometriosis [5], which is an invasive examination with high costs, surgical risks and the possibility of postoperative adhesion formation. In clinical practice, laparoscopy is more commonly used for the surgical treatment of endometriosis. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of endometriosis \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. However, delayed diagnosis of endometriosis is common and leads to exacerbation of the disease. Therefore, early or timely diagnosis of endosteopathy is of great importance for the management of the disease. Based on the above clinical problems, this paper proposes to establish a clinical diagnostic model for endosteopathy based on clinical features and basic examinations to provide alternative means and methods for timely diagnosis of endosteopathy.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"1 Information and methodology","content":"\u003cdiv id=\"Sec3\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003e1.1 Information\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec4\" class=\"Section3\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003e1.1.1 Research Objectives\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003ePatients who underwent surgical treatment with pathologically confirmed diagnosis at Hainan Hospital affiliated to Hainan Medical College (formerly Hainan Provincial People's Hospital) from December 2016 to June 2022 were selected, with 308 cases in the endometriosis group and 317 cases in the non-endometriosis group as the control group, for a total of 625 cases as modelling data.

Unfortunately, in our study, platelets did not differ between the two groups, which may be related to platelet physiological processes. Platelets are activated by a complex activation process that starts with the formation of a tightly packed 'core' of mainly fibrin-rich, P-selectin-positive platelets at the site of injury and a 'shell' of loose platelets that are arranged outside the core by attachment and adhesion. The platelets are then recruited to the circulating platelets. Circulating platelets are further recruited to act at the beginning of the lesion \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR19\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e19\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e.

Secondary dysmenorrhoea is caused by other conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis and pelvic inflammatory disease.

There were 41 cases in the case group and 28 cases in the control group. The clinical characteristics and laboratory indexes of patients in the case group and the control group were compared: age, dysmenorrhea, progressive aggravation of symptoms, dysuria, abnormal menstruation, difficulty in sexual intercourse, low back and abdominal pain, infertility, carbohydrate antigen 125, monocyte percentage, monocyte absolute value, platelet, mean platelet volume, platelet volume distribution width, platelet volume ratio, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase. The independent risk factors were screened by binary Logistic regression analysis and the prediction model was constructed. Hosmer-Lemeshow was used to test the goodness of fit of the model and the subject working characteristic curve was used to judge the prediction efficiency of the model.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResult(s)\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere were significant differences in age, dysmenorrhea, progressive aggravation of symptoms, abnormal menstruation, infertility, CA125, PCT, LDH and ALP between the two groups. The higher the CA125, the higher the risk of endometriosis, with statistical significance [OR = 1.023 (95% CI:1.016–1.029)], dysmenorrhea symptoms [OR = 3.467 (95% CI:2.052–5.859)], progressive symptoms [OR = 4.501 (95% CI:1.389–14.584)] and infertility [OR = 2.776 (95% CI:1.216–6.335)]. The higher the risk of endometriosis. The higher the LDH [OR = 0.993 (95% CI:0.987–0.999)] and the higher the ALP [OR = 0.977 (95% CI:0.962–0.991)], the lower the risk of endometriosis. The constructed model was verified by Hmurl and the result showed that P = 0.103, which suggested that the model fitted well. When the area under the model curve was 0.846 (95%CI:0.815–0.873) and the Jordan index was 0.5498, the best critical value was 0.478, the sensitivity was 69.81 and the specificity was 85.17.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConclusion(s)\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe model has good degree of fit and distinguishing ability, and can be used as an auxiliary means.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Clinical diagnosis model Construction of endometriosis based on clinical data*","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2024-03-28 16:29:50","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-3890783/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"
