This retrospective cohort study utilized linked administrative health data from Ontario, Canada, to investigate the association between a diagnosis of endometriosis and subsequent risk of self-harm. The researchers compared individuals diagnosed with endometriosis against those without the condition, adjusting for various sociodemographic and clinical confounders to isolate the impact of the disease. The analysis revealed that patients with endometriosis had a significantly elevated hazard ratio for self-harm events compared to the control group, even after accounting for mental health history and other comorbidities. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically examining its psychological comorbidity and associated risk of self-harm among affected individuals.
