If there was evidence to suggest that anatomical outcomes following POP surgery with uterine sparing were similar to concomitant hysterectomy | 18 (58.1%) | 52 (61.9%) | 12 (48.0%) | 13 (41.9%) | 24 (28.6%) | 6 (24.0%) | 0.59 |
If there was evidence that uterine sparing is associated with slightly worse outcomes | 26 (83.9%) | 72 (85.7%) | 16 (64.0%) | 5 (16.1%) | 4 (4.8%) | 2 (8.0%) | 0.19 |
Provided with information on the actual background potential risk of uterine cancer in relation to other types of cancers in females | 20 (64.5%) | 51 (60.7%) | 12 (48.0%) | 11 (35.4%) | 25 (29.8%) | 6 (24.0%) | 0.96 |
