Birth register for deep endometriosis

The last years have provided us with various discoveries about the influence of endometriosis on complications during pregnancy. For example, these include an increased risk of placenta praevia, early miscarriage, premature birth or intraperitoneal bleedings. By contrast, only very few studies have focused on the influence of endometriosis on delivery. The delivery outcome of deep endometriosis – 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 gather information about birth injuries, delivery mode and fetal outcome in patients with deep endometriosis. The results of this survey should help to better advise affected women during pregnancy on the mode of delivery and individual risks.
This register has been established on the joint initiative of the Kepler University Hospital and the Endometriosis Research Foundation (SEF) with the support of the Working Group for Obstetrics and Pre-Natal Medicine National Council (AGG) of the German Gynaecology Association (DGGG).
If clinics are interested in entering data in the register, you will find the necessary information about the registration as a study centre 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).
