The follow-up data of the children were obtained from the Jiangsu Province Maternal and Child Database. A total of 350 singleton live births were included.

To improve statistical efficiency and control for potential confounding factors, singletons conceived from PQEs were matched with a 3:1 ratio according to couple ages, BMI, occupation and women AMH levels.

Data was collected through a digital survey distributed to women with self-reported endometriosis in Sweden. The survey included measures of validating and invalidating communication, depressive symptoms, anxiety, and HRQoL. A total of 427 women participated.

Furthermore, a combined construct of high levels of validation and low levels of invalidation from healthcare providers and from close family and friends were significant predictors of HRQoL.
