Declarations of interest

The authors of this review are conducting a trial: TRUST (The Randomised Uterine Septum Transsection Trial). In this study, women with recurrent miscarriage or subfertility and a septate uterus are being randomised between surgical intervention (hysteroscopic metroplasty) and expectant management.

Mark Emanuel has received consultancy fees and royalties from Smith & Nephew Endoscopy and holds patents for hysteroscopic morcellation and tubal patency foam ultrasonography testing.

For the version of this Cochrane review published in 2017, Mark Emanuel declared that he holds patents for hysteroscopic morcellation and tubal patency foam ultrasonography testing. These conflicts were declared prior to publication and applied during the period that the review was in preparation.

Clarification statement added from the Co‐ordinating Editor Professor Cindy Farquhar on 25 February 2020: this review was found by the Cochrane Funding Arbiters, post‐publication, to be noncompliant with theCochrane conflict of interest policy, which includes the relevant parts of theCochrane commercial sponsorship policy.In line with the policy, Dr Emanuel cannot be an author on the review while holding patents relevant to the topic of this review. We expect it will be updated by 25 February 2021. The update will have a majority of authors and lead author free of conflicts."

The PICO model is widely used and taught in evidence-based health care as a strategy for formulating questions and search strategies and for characterizing clinical studies or meta-analyses. PICO stands for four different potential components of a clinical question: Patient, Population or Problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome.
