Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
An economic evaluation of outpatient versus inpatient polyp treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding.
To undertake a cost-effectiveness analysis of outpatient uterine polypectomy compared with standard inpatient treatment under general anaesthesia. ⋯ HTA-funded OPT trial concluded that outpatient uterine polypectomy is cost-effective compared with inpatient polypectomy.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effects of single-dose dexamethasone on inflammatory response and pain after uterine artery embolisation for symptomatic fibroids or adenomyosis: a randomised controlled study.
To investigate the effects of single-dose intravenous dexamethasone on inflammatory responses, pain, nausea, and vomiting after uterine artery embolisation (UAE). ⋯ Dexamethasone is effective in reducing inflammation and pain after uterine artery embolisation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A 3-year follow-up after anterior colporrhaphy compared with collagen-coated transvaginal mesh for anterior vaginal wall prolapse: a randomised controlled trial.
To compare the 1-year (previously published) and 3-year objective and subjective cure rates, and complications, related to the use of a collagen-coated transvaginal mesh for anterior vaginal wall prolapse against a conventional anterior repair. ⋯ POP-Q deteriorates after anterior prolapse surgery but remains stable in women with mesh implantation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Prediction of escape red blood cell transfusion in expectantly managed women with acute anaemia after postpartum haemorrhage.
To determine clinical predictors of escape red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in postpartum anaemic women, initially managed expectantly, and the additional predictive value of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measures. ⋯ In postpartum anaemic women, several clinical variables predict the need for escape RBC transfusion. Adding HRQoL-scores improves model performance. After external validation, the extended model may be an important tool for counselling and decision making in clinical practice.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Self-hypnosis for intrapartum pain management in pregnant nulliparous women: a randomised controlled trial of clinical effectiveness.
(Primary) To establish the effect of antenatal group self-hypnosis for nulliparous women on intra-partum epidural use. ⋯ Allocation to two-third-trimester group self-hypnosis training sessions did not significantly reduce intra-partum epidural analgesia use or a range of other clinical and psychological variables. The impact of women's anxiety and fear about childbirth needs further investigation.
