Research Priorities for Endometriosis: Recommendations From a Global Consortium of Investigators in Endometriosis
The 3rd International Consensus Workshop on Research Priorities in Endometriosis was held in Sa˜o Paulo on May 4, 2014,
following the 12th World Congress on Endometriosis. The workshop was attended by 60 participants from 19 countries and was
divided into 5 main sessions covering pathogenesis/pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis/classification/prognosis, disease/
symptom management, and research policy. This research priorities consensus statement builds on earlier efforts to develop
research directions for endometriosis. Of the 56 research recommendations from the 2011 meeting in Montpellier, a total of 41
remained unchanged, 13 were updated, and 2 were deemed to be completed. Fifty-three new research recommendations were
made at the 2014 meeting in Sao Paulo, which in addition to the 13 updated recommendations resulted in a total of 66 new
recommendations for research.
