Association between endometriosis and risk of systemic lupus erythematosus

Abstract To examine the association between endometriosis and the risk of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), this nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study was conducted based on National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. Endometriosis (N = 16,758) and non-endometriosis (...
