Diagnosis and Therapy of Female Urinary Incontinence. Guideline of the DGGG, OEGGG and SGGG (S2k Level, AWMF Registry No. 015/091, January 2022): Part 2 with Recommendations on Interventional/Surgical Therapy of Overactive Bladder, Surgical Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence and Diagnosis and Therapy of Iatrogenic Urogenital Fistula.

This completely revised interdisciplinary S2k-guideline on the diagnosis, therapy, and follow-up care of female patients with urinary incontinence (AWMF registry number: 015-091) was published in December 2021. This guideline combines and summarizes earlier guidelines such as "Female stress urinary incontinence," "Female urge incontinence" and "Use of Ultrasonography in Urogynecological Diagnostics" for the first time. The guideline was coordinated by the German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe, DGGG) and the Working Group for Urogynecology and Plastic Pelvic Floor Reconstruction (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Urogynäkologie und plastische Beckenbodenrekonstruktion e.

Serum uric acid is associated with incident hip fractures in women and men - Results from a large Austrian population-based cohort study.

Objectives: Serum markers that can be used to estimate the risk of bone fractures are rare, and findings for one candidate marker, uric acid, are heterogeneous. Our aim was to investigate the potential of serum uric acid (SUA) to predict hip fractures occurring in people aged 50 years and over.

Study Design: During a medical prevention program over the period 1985-2005 in Vorarlberg, baseline data were collected on SUA levels and covariates (age, BMI, blood pressure, smoking status, diabetes, triglycerides and cholesterol) from 185,397 individuals, of whom 42,488 women and 35,908 men met the inclusion criteria of this population-based cohort study.

The Austrian Sacrocolpopexy Registry: Surgical Techniques, Perioperative Safety, and Complications.

Study Objective: Sacrocolpopexy (SCP) has become the standard procedure to correct uterovaginal prolapse in women, but techniques and approaches are not standardized. We report the results of the Austrian Sacrocolpopexy Registry, which aimed to collect data on surgical techniques and perioperative outcomes.

Design: The Austrian Urogynecology Working Group initiated a registry to assess surgical variability and perioperative safety of SCP.

Fetal weight estimation at term - ultrasound versus clinical examination with Leopold's manoeuvres: a prospective blinded observational study.

Background: Fetal weight estimation is of key importance in the decision-making process for obstetric planning and management. The literature is inconsistent on the accuracy of measurements with either ultrasound or clinical examination, known as Leopold's manoeuvres, shortly before term. Maternal BMI is a confounding factor because it is associated with both the fetal weight and the accuracy of fetal weight estimation.

The relative risk of second primary cancers in Austria's western states: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Cancer survivors are at risk of developing a second primary cancer (SPC) later in life because of persisting effects of genetic and behavioural risk factors, the long-term sequelae of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and the passage of time. This is the first study with Austrian data on an array of entities, estimating the risk of SPCs in a population-based study by calculating standardized incidence ratios (SIRs).

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included all invasive incident cancer cases diagnosed within the years 1988 to 2005 being registered in the Tyrol and Vorarlberg Cancer Registries.

γ-Glutamyltransferase and Breast Cancer Risk Beyond Alcohol Consumption and Other Life Style Factors - A Pooled Cohort Analysis.

Objective: Elevated γ-Glutamyltransferase serum levels are associated with increased risk of overall cancer incidence and several site-specific malignancies. In the present prospective study we report on the associations of serum γ-Glutamyltransferase with the risk of breast cancer in a pooled population-based cohort considering established life style risk factors.

Methods: Two cohorts were included in the present study, i.

Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation versus tolterodine for overactive bladder in women: a randomised controlled trial.

Objective: We performed a randomised controlled trial of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) versus tolterodine for treating treatment naïve women with overactive bladder (OAB).

Study Design: 36 patients with symptoms of OAB were randomised to 3 months of treatment with weekly PTNS or tolterodine (2mg bid p.o.

Retropubic vs. transobturator tension-free vaginal tape for female stress urinary incontinence: 3-month results of a randomized controlled trial.

Background: We conducted a prospective randomized controlled noninferiority trial to compare objective and subjective outcomes of retropubic tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) with those of transobturator tape (TVT-O) as primary treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women.

Study Design: The study was conducted at 25 gynecology units in Austria and Germany; regional and academic hospitals participated. A total of 569 patients were randomly assigned to undergo TVT or TVT-O.

High resolution magnetic resonance imaging of urethral anatomy in continent nulliparous pregnant women.

Introduction: To quantify the distribution of morphologic appearances of urethral anatomy and measure variables of urethral sphincter anatomy in continent, nulliparous, pregnant women by high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Materials And Methods: We studied fifteen women during their first pregnancy. We defined and quantified bladder neck and urethral morphology on axial and sagittal MR images from healthy, continent women.

Breech presentation: a retrospective analysis of 12-years' experience at a single center.

Objective: To investigate neonatal outcome after breech presentation in term pregnancies.

Study Design: Data from 1345 term breech deliveries over a 12-year study period were retrospectively reviewed. Neonatal morbidity and mortality were compared by route of delivery.

Transobturator tapes for stress urinary incontinence: Results of the Austrian registry.

Objective: We established a voluntary registry to collect data on the perioperative course of transobturator tape operations for stress incontinence.

Study Design: Forty-seven centers completed a 1-page, 15-item questionnaire per procedure.

Results: Data on a total of 2543 operations with 11 different tape systems were collected.

Bleeding complications with the tension-free vaginal tape operation.

Objective: This study was undertaken to analyze bleeding problems with tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) operations in a national registry.

Study Design: We studied patients for whom increased intraoperative bleeding or reoperation for bleeding/hematoma with TVT operation were reported to the registry.

Results: Bleeding problems were reported for 151 of 5578 (2.

Chromosomal translocation t(10;11)(q26;q13) in a woman with combined pituitary hormone deficiency.

We describe the case of a girl with combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD) carrying a balanced chromosomal translocation t(10;11)(q26;q13) with paternal transmission. Her father, with no apparent physical abnormalities, had the karyotype: 46, XY, t(10;11)(q26;q13). CPHD denotes impaired production of growth hormone (GH) and one or more of the other five anterior pituitary-derived hormones.

The impact of positive peritoneal washings and serosal and adnexal involvement on survival in patients with stage IIIA uterine cancer.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic significance of serosal involvement (SER), adnexal involvement (ADN), and positive peritoneal washings (PPW) in patients with Stage IIIA uterine cancer. We also sought to determine patterns of recurrence in patients with this disease.

Methods: The records of 136 patients with Stage IIIA uterine cancer treated at the Queensland Centre for Gynecological Cancer between March 1983 and August 2001 were reviewed.
