Laparoscopy Diagnostic Agreement Study for Gynecological Conditions, 2010-2016

315 patient records from a retrospective chart review study conducted between March 2010 and October 2016 evaluate the agreement between pre- and post-laparoscopy gynecological diagnoses. The study, authored by Gislaine Laperuta Serafim Argentino, found laparoscopy contributed to diagnosis in 59.6% of infertility cases and 93.7% of chronic pelvic pain cases of undetermined origin. It also increased the diagnosis of pelvic-abdominal adhesions by 76.7%.

Use Cases

• Evaluate diagnostic accuracy of laparoscopy based on pre- and postoperative diagnosis comparisons mentioned in the description
• Analyze the role of laparoscopy in elucidating chronic pelvic pain of undetermined origin as described in the results
• Study the contribution of laparoscopy to infertility diagnosis based on the reported 59.6% agreement rate
• Investigate the detection of pelvic-abdominal adhesions using the reported 76.7% increase in diagnosis

Strengths

• Includes data from 315 patients undergoing surgical laparoscopy
• Study covers a specific time range from March 2010 to October 2016
• Results provide specific agreement percentages (e.g., 93.7% for chronic pelvic pain) with statistical significance indicators

Limitations

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