Moving On: How Many Women Opt for Surgery After Pessary Use for Prolapse?
Female Pelvic Med Reconstr Surg
June 2020
Objective: Our primary objective was to evaluate the proportion of women who underwent surgery after successful pessary fitting for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Our secondary objectives were to assess when surgery occurs and to evaluate factors associated with choosing surgery as compared to continuing with a pessary.
Methods: Our study population included women successfully fitted with a pessary for POP 1/1/12 and 12/31/16.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Pessaries provide first-line therapy for women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The primary hypothesis was that defecatory dysfunction was associated with pessary discontinuation.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of all women undergoing first pessary placement at one academic center from April 2014 to January 2017.
Background: Buprenorphine pharmacotherapy for opioid-dependent pregnant women is associated with maternal and neonatal outcomes superior to untreated opioid dependence. However, the literature is inconsistent regarding the possible existence of a dose-response relationship between maternal buprenorphine dose and neonatal clinical outcomes.
Methods: The present secondary analysis study (1) examined the relationship between maternal buprenorphine dose at delivery and neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) peak score, estimated gestational age at delivery, Apgar scores at 1 and 5 min, neonatal head circumference, length, and weight at birth, amount of morphine needed to treat NAS, duration of NAS treatment, and duration of neonatal hospital stay and (2) compared neonates who required pharmacotherapy for NAS to neonates who did not require such pharmacotherapy on these same outcomes, in 58 opioid-dependent pregnant women receiving buprenorphine as participants in a randomized clinical trial.
