This item is a letter/commentary rather than new primary research, with authors disclosing that AI tools were used only for language tasks such as translation and improving readability. It does not provide study population, methods, results, or limitations within the text shown, and it states that AI did not contribute to substantive research activities such as study design, data collection, statistical analysis, interpretation, or conclusions. It therefore functions as commentary on the referenced Global Burden of Disease endometriosis analysis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it is a letter/commentary on a global burden estimate of endometriosis among women of childbearing age from 1990 to 2021.
