[Study of the factors motivating refusal of women to participate to a randomized clinical trial in gynecological surgery. Retrospective observational bicentric study].

Our study identified the most influential factors relevant to women decision-making whether or not to participate in RCT in surgery. A number of factors leading to refusal of participation are potentially correctable leading to better recruitment rates in future RCTs. Optimization of information on the principle of randomization, limiting the number of additional visits could help researchers improve participation rates.
