Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Allocation is not concealed
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Randomised permuted blocks will be used to allocate patients between the two treatment groups with an allocation ratio of 2:1, favouring the intervention of TLH (variable blocks sizes). Randomisations will be stratified according to treating centre and by grade of differentiation (as taken from the endometrial biopsy/D&C).
Masking / blinding
