Patient Selection and Eligibility:
Patients were selected through screening of electronic hospital patient
records in Healthcare Information eXchange (HiX) (ChipSoft BV,
Amsterdam, the Netherlands), based on electronic search queries in CTcue
(CTcue BV, Amsterdam, the Netherlands). Relevant search terms are
presented in Supplementary File A.
Women were eligible for inclusion if they underwent a hysterectomy due
to benign pathology in our centre between 2007 and March 2022 and had
pre-operative pelvic MRI available. Subjects were included regardless of
symptoms. Subjects were excluded if: they did not have a pelvic MRI
prior to hysterectomy, they had an unsuitable MRI protocol (see appendix
B for further specification), they were post-menopausal (due to no
longer active disease), had a gynaecological malignancy or if no
pathology report available after hysterectomy. Patients were also
excluded if they explicitly stated in their file that they did not want
their information to be used for research purposes.
