Biopsychosocial correlates of persistent postsurgical pain in women with endometriosis.
To examine pain and biopsychosocial correlates over time for women with persistent postsurgical pain after surgery for endometriosis. ⋯ Younger age and catastrophization are correlated with persistent pain following surgery for endometriosis. The severity of endometriosis does not predict persistent pain. Further evaluation of psychosocial factors may identify patients who are least likely to benefit from surgeries for endometriosis-associated pelvic pain.
