Endometriosis Surgical Outcomes and Healthcare Utilization in Brazil, 2006-2024

Brazilian data from the Hapvida NotreDame portfolio on 5,740 women who underwent their first surgical procedure for endometriosis between 2006 and 2024. The dataset includes clinical characteristics, diagnostic timelines, treatment outcomes, and healthcare utilization metrics. It was created by Rodrigo Afonso da Silva Sardenberg and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze time-to-surgery differences between deep and superficial endometriosis based on diagnostic timelines mentioned in the description
• Model healthcare cost drivers based on the reported 40% higher surgery cost for deep endometriosis and diagnostic exam costs
• Assess post-surgical outcomes based on metrics like reoperation rates, disease recurrence, and changes in delivery and consultation patterns
• Study the relationship between surgical intervention and subsequent healthcare utilization based on changes in emergency consultations

Strengths

• Covers 5,740 patient records from a large healthcare portfolio of over 8.8 million lives
• Provides specific outcome metrics, including a 1.6% early reoperation rate and a 4.1% disease recurrence rate
• Includes temporal coverage from 2006 to 2024, allowing for longitudinal analysis

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic and institutional bias inherent to a single Brazilian healthcare provider
