COMPREHENSIVE RISK STRATIFICATION CRITERIA AND AN ALGORITHM FOR EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF MINIMAL FORMS OF ENDOMETRIOSIS IN WOMEN WITH INFERTILITY

The paper studies how to identify minimal, often underdiagnosed endometriosis in women presenting with infertility, developing comprehensive risk-stratification criteria and an algorithm intended for early diagnosis. At a high level, it addresses the problem that minimal endometriosis has nonspecific clinical manifestations and that standard imaging has limited sensitivity in early disease. The key finding is the creation of an algorithmic approach to support earlier diagnosis under these constraints. The paper’s major caveat, as stated, is the acknowledged difficulty of detecting minimal forms using standard imaging due to limited sensitivity. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, an algorithm for early diagnosis of minimal forms in infertile women.
