A retrospective population-based study aimed to assess the incidence of endometriosis
in the general population in Spain and in each of its autonomous communities. The authors used
the incidence of diagnosed endometriosis in the minimum basic dataset at discharge in the national
hospital discharge registry of Spain. This analysis was carried out with hospital data with a diagnosis
of endometriosis (International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-9 code 617.xx and ICD-10 code
N80.xx) and covered the period from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2017 and a population of
12,775,911 women of reproductive age (15–54 years). The data were then analyzed at the national
level and separately for each autonomous community. This nationwide Spanish study estimated
the overall incidence of endometriosis among autonomous communities in Spain to be 16.1 per
10,000 women (range, 6.8 to 24). The mean age of the 20,547 women diagnosed with endometriosis
during the study period was 36.8 ± 5.4 years. The types (proportions) of endometriosis were uterine
(28.4%), tubo-ovarian (35.2%), peritoneal (8.1%), vesical (6.8%) and intestinal (3.2%) endometriosis.
Further studies are needed to assess the reasons for the decrease in the observed incidence and for
the significant differences in the regional incidence rates of this disease.
