据作者所知，骨盆子宫内膜异位症在一般女性人群中的发病率以前没有报道过。本研究的目的是确定1970-1979年期间明尼苏达州罗彻斯特市育龄女性（15-49岁）诊断的盆腔子宫内膜异位症的发病率。发病率首先由组织学证实的病例组成，然后依次纳入越来越不确定的病例：手术可见、临床可能和临床可能。盆腔子宫内膜异位症的总发病率增加了一倍多（从每10万人年108.8例增加到246.9例），因为病例的定义从单纯的组织学确诊病例扩展到所有病例。在44岁之前的连续年龄组中，特定年龄的发病率上升，然后在45-49岁的妇女中下降。方法学问题的定义和确定事件的情况下，盆腔子宫内膜异位症的详细描述。
To the authors'' knowledge, the incidence of pelvic endometriosis in the general female population has not been previously reported. The purpose of the present study was to determine the incidence rate of diagnosed pelvic endometriosis among while females of reproductive age (15-49 years) in Rochester, Minnesota, during 1970-1979. Incidence rates were prepared first with histologically confirmed cases along and then with the successive inclusion of progressively less certain cases: surgically visualized, clinically probable, and clinically possible. The overall incidence of pelvic endometriosis more than doubled (from 108.8 to 246.9 cases per 100,000 person-years) as the definition of a case was extended from histologically confirmed cases alone to all cases. Age-specific incidence rates increased in successive age groups through age 44 and then declined for women 45-49 years of age. Methodological problems in the definition and ascertainment of incident cases of pelvic endometriosis are described in detail.
