Introduction And Hypothesis: We aimed to translate and validate the Lithuanian version of the Prolapse Quality-of-Life (P-QOL) questionnaire.
Methods: The P-QOL questionnaire was translated into Lithuanian and administered to women recruited from a gynaecology outpatient clinic at a tertiary referral centre. The scores of the final version were compared in symptomatic (n = 137) and asymptomatic (n = 137) women and with findings on vaginal examination using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system.
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common condition in women, with its prevalence increasing with age, and can significantly impact the quality of life (QOL) of many individuals. The objective of this study was to assess the overall improvement, quality of life, and continuation of primary treatment for POP over a 24-month period in a real-world setting. This is a prospective, observational, follow-up study of women with symptomatic POP who, as a primary treatment, opted for recommendations (lifestyle changes and pelvic floor muscle training), pessary therapy, or surgery.

Case Presentation: A 31-year-old patient came to a tertiary referral center for nausea and pain in the upper left abdominal quadrant.
Background: To evaluate the role of the quality improvement course (QIC) to reduce the caesarean section (CS) rate among nulliparas (Robson groups 1 and 2) and to find out which group of women have reduced the CS rate following attendance at the course.
Methods: The QIC was organized in 2015. For the evaluation of the CS rate after the OIC, deliveries from the selected hospitals in 2014 and 2016 were compared using MS EXCEL and SPSS 23.

Background: To evaluate the role of the TGCS to reduce the caesarean section (CS) rate among nulliparas (Robson groups 1 and 2) and to find out which group of women have reduced the CS rate by using this tool.
Methods: The Robson classification was introduced in Lithuanian hospitals prospectively classifying all the deliveries in 2012. The CS rate overall and in each Robson group was calculated and the results were discussed.
Objective: To compare midwife-led and obstetrician-led care and their relation to caesarean section rates and obstetric and neonatal outcomes in low-risk births.
Design: Hospital registry based retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Tertiary-care women's hospital in Kaunas, Lithuania.
Background: To determine the cesarean section (CS) rate in Lithuania, identify the groups of women that influence it using the Robson classification and to determine the impact of implementing the use of the Robson classification on the CS rate.
Methods: The Robson classification was introduced in Lithuanian hospitals prospectively classifying all the deliveries in 2012. The overall CS rate, sizes of the Robson groups of women, CS rate in each group and contribution to the overall CS rate from each group was calculated and the results were discussed.
Background And Aim: Obese women are at an increased risk of various adverse pregnancy outcomes. The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of obesity on maternal and neonatal outcomes in a tertiary referral center and to compare obstetric outcomes by the level of maternal obesity.
Materials And Methods: A cohort study included 3247 women with singleton gestations who gave birth at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, in 2010.
Background And Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze cesarean section (CS) rates using Robson Ten Group Classification System (TGCS) and to identify the main contributors to the overall CS rate in Lithuania.
Materials And Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was carried out. All women who delivered between January 1 and December 31, 2012, in Lithuania were classified using the TGCS.
