Chapter 7 proposes a multicenter randomised controlled trial in which two strategies are compared in the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding: the LNG- IUS and endometrial ablation. This will be organised in a network infrastructure in which both general practitioners and gynaecologists collaborate. The study focuses on (cost-) effectiveness, patient satisfaction and quality of life.
Chapter 8 reviews the choice and consistency of primary outcomes used in randomised controlled trials and systematic reviews for the treatment of HMB.
Chapter 9 summarises the data presented in this thesis. A Dutch version is included.
Chapter 10 provides a general discussion with suggestions for further research.
Chapter 11 contains the valorisation addendum, which explains the significance of this research.
