Impact of clinical outcome and risk of cancer on choice of surgery by country

Scenario	Hysterectomy			Uterine preservation			p
	SK n = 31	CZ n = 84	SL n = 25	SK n = 31	CZ n = 84	SL n = 25
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
