Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis

Currently, there is no global outcome assessment index in prolapse research. Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) has only been validated in incontinence. Our aim was to validate its use following prolapse surgery.

Methods

Women with prolapse were recruited from waiting lists and assessed objectively (pelvic organ prolapse quantification system (POP-Q)). Quality of life (QoL) was assessed with prolapse QoL questionnaire (pQoL). Patient goal achievement (visual analogue scale (VAS)) determined subjective satisfaction and PGI-I indicated overall satisfaction. We established construct validity of PGI-I by correlating final PGI-I response with other measures of response, measured at 1 year: (POP-Q/pQoL/VAS)

Results

There was excellent test—retest reliability and correlation between PGI-I and other outcome measures.

Conclusion

We believe this is the first study validating PGI-I as a global index of response to prolapse surgery. This may be a valuable addition not only in clinical practice but also in trials comparing surgical interventions.

Mammakarzinom: Brustdichte beeinflusst rezidivfreies Überleben

26.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

Frauen, die zum Zeitpunkt der Brustkrebsdiagnose eine hohe mammografische Brustdichte aufweisen, haben ein erhöhtes Risiko für ein baldiges Rezidiv, legen neue Daten nahe.

Mehr Lebenszeit mit Abemaciclib bei fortgeschrittenem Brustkrebs?

24.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

In der MONARCHE-3-Studie lebten Frauen mit fortgeschrittenem Hormonrezeptor-positivem, HER2-negativem Brustkrebs länger, wenn sie zusätzlich zu einem nicht steroidalen Aromatasehemmer mit Abemaciclib behandelt wurden; allerdings verfehlte der numerische Zugewinn die statistische Signifikanz.

Blutdrucksenkung könnte Uterusmyome verhindern

Frauen mit unbehandelter oder neu auftretender Hypertonie haben ein deutlich erhöhtes Risiko für Uterusmyome. Eine Therapie mit Antihypertensiva geht hingegen mit einer verringerten Inzidenz der gutartigen Tumoren einher.

„Übersichtlicher Wegweiser“: Lauterbachs umstrittener Klinik-Atlas ist online

Sie sei „ethisch geboten“, meint Gesundheitsminister Karl Lauterbach: mehr Transparenz über die Qualität von Klinikbehandlungen. Um sie abzubilden, lässt er gegen den Widerstand vieler Länder einen virtuellen Klinik-Atlas freischalten.
