Abstract
Results Data on endometriosis patients were compared to the general population, the most seminal findings being: • Endometriosis patients qualify more frequently (42%) for free medical aid in the Swedish health care system (frikort for vard) compared to the general population (18%). • Endometriosis patients qualify more frequently (31%) for free medicine in the Swedish health care system (frikort for lakemedel) compared to the general population (15%). • Endometriosis patients report sick-leave in average 38 days per year compared to general population which reports 9 days per year. • Endometriosis patients have undergone appendectomy in 19% compared to general population which has a cumulative lifetime risk for appendectomy of 7%.
