Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Current standard of care and management (e.g. hysterectomy) for patients with adenomyosis. Participants will be asked to complete online questionnaires at time of consent, related clinical care information (either from medical records or the clinician directly) will be entered onto the NECST Registry. Consenting participants will be followed up at 6-, 12-months and then annually post-enrolment for 5 years.

Statistical methods / analysis
All data will be analysed and presented as de-identified, group data. Descriptive statistics such as means, standard deviations, medians, inter-quartile ranges (for continuous variables), and frequency (for categorical variables) will be used. Cross tabulations and relevant statistics tests (e.g. chi squared) may be performed to describe demographic characteristics associated with an adenomyosis patient diagnosis, acquisition of surgical and/or medical management. No small cell sizes will be published where they could result in the possible identification of a participant. Geographical data and related classifications will use area levels of appropriate to the number of participants e.g. state, Accessibility/Remoteness Index of Australia (ARIA), Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), groupings larger than postcode to prevent small cell sizes arising. No individual level data that could identify non-participants e.g. family members will be reported.
