This paper conducted a cost-of-illness study to quantify the economic burden of endometriosis from the perspective of society as a whole, using patient-level data collected via a six-page questionnaire that covered demographics, quality of life (SF-12), healthcare utilization, and employment/job situation. The study included two populations: members of the German Endometriosis Association and patients from inpatient rehabilitation centers, and reported an average cost per case of 5,622 euros, with indirect costs making up 62% of total costs. Key cost drivers were costs related to inability to work (49% of total costs) and costs from inpatient hospital stays (31%). The extrapolation estimated nationwide total costs of 1.96 billion euros for 2003, and a limitation is that the dataset comes from these specific groups rather than a general population sample. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it quantifies direct and indirect disease costs and extrapolates the national economic burden.
