The paper studied the prevalence and sociodemographic profile of hospitalizations due to endometriosis across the Brazilian Northeast, using an observational, cross-sectional epidemiologic design based on Hospital Information System data. From 2012–2021, the authors reported 32,465 hospital admissions for endometriosis, with the highest prevalences in Ceará, Maranhão, and Rio Grande do Norte, and the peak occurring in 2012 followed by a decline through 2020. Hospitalizations were most common among adult women aged 20–59, those identified as parda, and in both elective and urgent care contexts, with more care in private establishments and total expenditures of R$ 23,812,361. The authors note a limitation in interpreting the decline, suggesting it may reflect subdiagnosis and undertreatment, and calling for complementary studies to clarify why hospitalizations decreased. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it maps the epidemiological reality of hospitalizations for endometriosis in Brazil’s Northeast and interprets trends potentially driven by underdiagnosis/undertreatment, informing endometriosis burden in that region.
