TLDR
Endometriosis impairs HRQoL and work productivity across countries and ethnicities, yet women continue to experience diagnostic delays in primary care, and a higher index of suspicion is needed to expedite specialist assessment of symptomatic women.About:

TL;DR: MicroRNA expression in the eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis differs from symptomatic controls, and miRNA expression pattern is dependent on theendometriotic lesion type studied, it is suggested that identification of different miRNAs expression patterns for endometiomas, peritoneal and deep-infiltrating lesions could contribute to individualized patient care for women withendometiosis.

TL;DR: Providing PCEC could lead to better HRQOL, especially if paying attention to 'continuity', 'respect' and 'information' is needed; large-scale longitudinal research is needed.

Quality of life and sexual satisfaction in women suffering from endometriosis: An Italian preliminary study
Marta Giuliani,Valentina Cosmi,Luca Pierleoni,A. Recine,M. Pieroni,Adele Ticino,Maria Grazia Porpora,Chiara Simonelli +7 more
TL;DR: The results showed that the disease has a negative impact on many areas of the overall functioning and sexuality quality of life of women and the existence of mediatory variables emerged, emphasising how the presence of a partner could be considered a protective value in the experience of pain.

The Relationship of Circular RNAs With Ovarian Endometriosis.
TL;DR: This is the first study of circRNA expression patterns in ovarian endometriosis, which suggests that circRNAs are candidate factors in the activation of ovarian endometricriosis and are promising diagnostic biomarkers and treatment targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of candidate microRNA markers of endometriosis with the use of next-generation sequencing and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.
TL;DR: It is concluded that a panel of candidate miRNAs was comparable to laparoscopy in distinguishing between women with endometriosis and control women.

The Validity and Reproducibility of a Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Instrument
TL;DR: Overall work productivity was significantly related to general health perceptions and the global measures of interference with regular activity, and the self-administered questionnaire had adequate reproducibility but less construct validity than interviewer administration.
