Predicting various forms of endometriosis using artificial neural networks
This study developed a computer system using artificial neural networks trained on patient data to predict the presence and localization of endometriosis with over 80% probability.

The paper studied whether artificial neural networks could estimate the probability of endometriosis and predict its localization using patient history plus plasma proteomic and enzyme-linked immunoassay results. Models were developed and tested using data from 110 women with morphologically confirmed endometriosis, split into training and test sets, and four separate neural-network models were constructed to output presence/absence and, when present, anatomical localization, achieving prediction probabilities above 80% depending on location. A key limitation is that performance is based on a relatively small single dataset of morphologically confirmed cases with specific input modalities. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — developing neural-network–based differential diagnosis and localization using clinical history and plasma proteomic/immunoassay data.
