Abstract
Factors influencing the progression to chronic pelvic and abdominal pain states are not well-characterized. Using an electronic medical records database, we identified women age 18-55 who had presented to the emergency rooms (ERs) of a suburban community hospital network between 11/2003 and 11/2004 with ICD-9 diagnoses consistent with either lower quadrant abdominal or pelvic pain. By chart review, candidates were identified (excluding pregnancy, cancer, or acute trauma) and diagnoses recorded. 35 participants agreed to participate and underwent screening phone interviews.
