Abstract

ObjectiveTo develop and test a visual map that corresponds practically and objectively to the anatomical areas affected by endometriosis. MethodThe study comprised 150 questionnaires concerning 10 clinical cases of endometriosis presented as a visual diagram that were distributed at 3 different scientific events, among 3 groups of 50 gynecologists. Data were analyzed to evaluate the diagram's ability to graphically represent the endometriosis sites. ResultsAfter presentation at the first event, the rate of correct answers on the site of endometriosis was 84.7%; at the second event, after modifications implemented after feedback from the first event, the rate of correct answers was 97.4%; and at the third event, when all suggestions and modifications had been made, the rate was 99.7%. ConclusionThe diagram proposed to map the location of endometriosis lesions appears to be an adequate and effective instrument to represent the site of the disease, with correlation at almost 100%.
