This study found no significant correlation between endometriosis and anemia severity in Indonesian women, although younger age and nulliparity were associated with endometriosis.

This hospital-based study at Margono Hospital (Indonesia) investigated the relationship between endometriosis and anemia severity, using patients enrolled from 2020 to 2024 with defined inclusion and exclusion criteria and statistical analyses including odds and prevalence ratios. Although reproductive-age women were reported as more likely to have endometriosis, and parity was significantly associated with endometriosis, no significant correlation was found between endometriosis and anemia severity (with moderate anemia most common in the case group but not reaching significance). The authors’ key caveat is that endometriosis did not significantly affect anemia severity in their data, and they call for further research on molecular impacts of different endometriosis types on erythropoiesis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it examines whether endometriosis severity is associated with the severity of anemia.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between endometriosis and anemia severity, along with other potential contributing factors. The study was conducted at Margono Hospital in Indonesia and involved patients with endometriosis who were enrolled from 2020 to 2024. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, and statistical analyses, including odds ratios and prevalence ratios, were performed. The analysis revealed that women of reproductive age were significantly more likely to develop endometriosis, with an odds ratio of 3.033 [95% CI 1.703-5.403, p<0.001]. Increasing age contributed 0.9% to the likelihood of endometriosis, and parity was significantly associated with endometriosis, with nulliparous women having an odds ratio of 11.883 [95% CI 2.103-67.163, p<0.001]. No significant correlation was found between anemia severity and endometriosis, though moderate anemia was most likely in the case group [OR 0.744, 95% CI 0.520-1.063, p=0.613]. Although endometriosis did not significantly affect anemia severity in our study, further research is needed to explore the molecular impact of different types of endometriosis on erythropoiesis.
