A systematic review on reported outcomes and outcome measures in female idiopathic chronic pelvic pain for the development of a core outcome set.

CONCLUSION: There is wide variation in reported outcomes and applied outcome measures in CPP trials. While a COS is developed and implemented, we propose an interim use of three commonly reported outcomes in each domain. These include: pain (pelvic pain, dyspareunia, dysmenorrhoea), life impact (quality of life, emotional functioning, physical functioning), clinical effectiveness (efficacy, satisfaction, cost effectiveness, return to daily activities) and adverse events (surgical, perioperative observations, non-surgical).
