- Epidemiology and outcome assessment of pelvic organ prolapse (2013, background): “More recently it has been suggested that these anatomical definitions are too strict as over 75 % of women presenting for annual gynaecological examinations without symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse would not meet the definition of “optimal anatomical outcome” and almost 40 % would not meet the defi”
- Prevalence and Trends of Symptomatic Pelvic Floor Disorders in U.S. Women (2014, background): “(19–23) Higher BMI has also been associated with prolapse (2, 3); however, weight loss may not improve bothersome prolapse symptoms.”
- Prevalence of Symptomatic Pelvic Floor Disorders in US Women (2008, neutral): “Up to 75% of women presenting for routine gynecological care demonstrate some prolapse, and 3% to 6% have descent beyond the hymen.(26,27) The specificity of vaginal bulge symptoms for predicting prolapse beyond the hymen is high in low-prevalence populations (99%100%); however, the sensitivity is l”
- An International Urogynecological Association (IUGA)/International Continence Society (ICS) joint report on the terminology for female pelvic floor dysfunction (2010, background): “Considering Stage 2 or more, where the leading edge is at or beyond the hymen, this is definite prolapse (Swift et al. 2003, 2005).”
- Pelvic organ prolapse (2016, positive): “Increasing age is the best-evidenced risk factor, with the risk of POP demonstrated to double with each decade of life (Swift et al., 2005).”
