The purpose of this study is to assess if endometriosis can be considered a risk factor for adverse obstetric and delivery outcomes
This is a retrospective, observational, case-control study. Pregnancy, delivery and neonatal outcomes will be analyzed in two groups of patients (case and control group): women with diagnosis of endometriosis histologically confirmed and women without endometriosis. Women with endometriosis will be matched to controls by age. A database with general medical and gynecological history, pregnancy course, delivery mode and newborn conditions will be analyzed.
