Patient Perception of Prolapse Condition Questionnaire: A Validated Patient-Reported Outcome Measure.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Identifying patient-reported outcome measures allows management of urogenital prolapse to be tailored to reflect symptom bother and expectations of treatment. We devised a new single-item questionnaire, the Patient Perception of Prolapse Condition (PPPC), based on the Patient Perception of Bladder Condition (PPBC). The aim was to evaluate the criterion validity, test/re-test reliability and responsiveness of the PPPC.

Pelvic organ prolapse management.

Pelvic organ prolapse describes the loss of support and subsequent descent of pelvic organs into the vagina. It is common, affecting up to 50% of parous women, and can be accompanied by a number of burdening symptoms. Prolapse has been thrown into the spotlight secondary to mesh-related complications.

Can we replace the catheter when evaluating urinary residuals?

Aims: To test the different formulae to calculate the bladder volume using ultrasound; the accuracy of patients hearing/feeling "bubbles" at the end of urodynamics testing as a measure of being empty; and how good we are at estimating PVR using X-ray at the end of video urodynamics testing.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort study. Using Sonosite 180 plus, bladder volumes were calculated as, height × width × depth × proportionality constant (0.
