⚙ AI-generated summary by claude@2026-06+body, 2026-06-07 ⓘ

The Croatian version of the EHP-5 questionnaire demonstrated good internal consistency and reliability, and was able to significantly differentiate between women with higher versus lower pain scores and between infertile versus fertile women.

This paper translated, adapted, and psychometrically validated the Endometriosis Health Profile-5 (EHP-5) questionnaire in Croatian using a prospective observational study framework. In 150 consecutive women with surgically proven endometriosis, the authors evaluated internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha), test–retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient), and known-groups validity by comparing EHP-5 scores across pain intensity (VAS ≥7 vs ≤6) and fertility status (infertile vs fertile). The Croatian EHP-5 showed good internal consistency for core and modular components (α = 0.793 and 0.842) and very good reliability (ICC = 0.896 and 0.936), with higher EHP-5 scores in women reporting more severe pain and in women who were infertile. The paper’s main limitation is that it assesses validity in this specific Croatian sample of surgically proven cases in clinical practice. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it validates the Croatian version of the EHP-5 quality-of-life instrument in women with surgically proven disease.
