Women admitted to hospital with pelvic inflammatory disease had substantially worse outcomes if they also had endometriosis, according to a study from a single Spanish hospital.
Researchers at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona reported that among women hospitalized with pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis was independently associated with roughly three times higher odds of treatment failure and recurrence, along with longer hospital stays. The study, titled "When two diseases collide," was published online in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica.
