International Urogynecology Consultation Chapter 3 Committee 1 - Pessary Management.

Introduction And Hypothesis: This manuscript is part of the International Urogynecological Consultation (IUC) on Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP), Chapter 3, Committee 1 focusing on pessary management of POP.

Methods: A narrative review was conducted by an international, multi-disciplinary group of clinicians working in the field of pelvic health following a search of the literature using the MeSH terms "pelvic organ prolapse" OR "urogenital prolapse" OR "vaginal prolapse" OR "uterovaginal prolapse" AND "pessary" OR "support device" OR "intravaginal device." Relevant studies, as determined after review using the Covidence manuscript review platform, were included.

Comparison of Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Attendance Based on Referring Provider Specialty.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) attendance differs based on referring provider specialty and identify factors related to PFPT initiation and completion.

Methods: This was an institutional review board-approved retrospective cohort study examining referrals from female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (FPMRS) and non-FPMRS providers at a single academic medical center to affiliated PFPT clinics over a 12-month period. Demographics, referring specialty and diagnoses, prior treatment, and details regarding PFPT attendance were collected.

Significance of venous thromboembolism in women with cervical cancer.

Objective: To characterize risk factors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and to examine effects of VTE on survival of women with cervical cancer.

Methods: This is a retrospective study examining consecutive stage I-IV cervical cancer cases diagnosed between 2000 and 2014. Cumulative risk of VTE after cervical cancer diagnosis was evaluated by a time-dependent analysis, expressing adjusted-hazard ratio [HR] and 95% confidence interval [CI].

Treatment patterns and survival outcomes in patients with cervical cancer complicated by complete uterine prolapse: a systematic review of literature.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Cervical cancer complicated by complete uterine prolapse is a rare clinical entity and uniform management recommendations have yet to be determined. The aim of the current review was to examine the effects of management patterns on survival outcomes in cervical cancer patients with complete uterine prolapse.

Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted using three public search engines.
