My research has focused on the evaluation of medical interventions in women’s health and reproduction. I believe that all medical interventions that are applied must have a rationale developed from the highest quality evidence base, which can be both a pathophysiological rationale as well as knowledge from clinical epidemiologic studies.
It is my vision that each medical intervention in reproductive health care must have an underlying evidence base (could be a pathophysiologic mechanism also) demonstrating that the action is expected to do more good than harm. In case of uncertainty, patients must be informed on the evidence gap, and optimally, be offered participation in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). My mission following from that is to create evidence on the effectiveness of all medical interventions in reproductive health care, preferably through large collaborations in randomised clinical trials (RCTs), to provide insight in the available evidence tailored to the individual patient for both patients and doctors.
