研究概览
简要总结
This will be a clinical interventional longitudinal study, without pharmacological intervention/device evaluation.
A control group would however be recruited for secondary objective 1 and 2.
The study is classified as interventional, as Fusobacterium detection is not part of the routine management of these patients; from the patients' point of view, participation in the study will involve the execution of additional vaginal and cervical swabs as additional procedure, while the endometrial biopsy will not represent an additional examination, as the study will include only patients for whom this examination is expected as per normal clinical practice.
