Birth register for deep endometriosis

In recent years, we have learned more about the influence of endometriosis on pregnancy complications. These include an increased risk of placenta praevia, early miscarriage, premature birth or intraperitoneal haemorrhage. By contrast, only very few studies have focused on the impact of endometriosis on delivery. In particular, the delivery outcome of deep endometriosis (DE) – both operated and non-operated – has not yet been sufficiently investigated.
For this reason, the initiative to create a birth register for deep endometriosis has emerged. The main focus of "BiRDeE" is to collect information on birth injuries, delivery mode and fetal outcome in patients with deep endometriosis. The results of this survey should help to better advise affected women on the mode of delivery and individual risks. The registry is supported by the Working Group on Endometriosis of the OEGGG.
If clinics are interested in contributing data to the register, details of how to register as a study center are provided below.
You can register your clinic via an online form.
Should you require any further information about the birth register for deep endometriosis (BiRDeE), you can find the current study plan and the informed consent form in the ‘Documents’ section.
For previously registered centres, you can apply to the centre-specific entry mask with the access link and password that you previously received via email. If you have forgotten and/or lost your access link, please contact the register manager (see contacts).
