Treatment Outcomes of Cesarean Scar Pregnancy Under a Novel Classification System: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objectives: To determine whether the new classification system published by Jordans et al for cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) can guide management and treatment outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective study of women diagnosed with CSP from October 2010 to December 2022 in a single tertiary center was performed. Sonographic records of these women were classified into three types according to the classification published by Jordans et al.

Prevalence of levator ani muscle avulsion and effect on quality of life in women with pelvic organ prolapse.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Levator ani muscle (LAM) avulsion is associated with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). There is limited information on the prevalence of LAM avulsion in Chinese women with POP. This study evaluated the prevalence of LAM avulsion in women presenting with POP and the effects on their quality of life (QoL).

An observational follow-up study on pelvic floor disorders to 3-5 years after delivery.

Introduction And Hypothesis: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI), fecal incontinence (FI), and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) 3-5 years after the first pregnancy and their associated risk factors.

Methods: We assessed 506 women using the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI) and the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ). Maternal characteristics and obstetric data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, independent sample t test, chi-squared test, and logistic regression.

Inside-out versus outside-in transobturator tension-free vaginal tape: a 5-year prospective comparative study.

Objective: To compare the 1-year and 5-year outcomes of transobturator tension-free vaginal tape with outside-in and inside-out approaches in women with urinary stress incontinence, and to identify risk factors for treatment failure at 5 years.

Method: A prospective observational study was carried out for women with urinary stress incontinence who underwent transobturator tension-free vaginal tape from September 2004 to March 2008 in a tertiary urogynecology center. Women (n = 213) had either an outside-in (n = 124) or inside-out (n = 89) procedure.

Pelvic floor muscle training improves quality of life of women with urinary incontinence: a prospective study.

Background: Women suffering from urinary incontinence have impaired quality of life (QoL). Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) has been recommended to be the first-line treatment for them.

Aims: This study evaluated the role of (PFMT) in women with urinary incontinence.

Measuring the angle of the subpubic arch using three-dimensional transperineal ultrasound scan: intraoperator repeatability and interoperator reproducibility.

Objective: A method of measuring the subpubic arch angle using three-dimensional transperineal ultrasound scan (3DTUS) was developed, and the intraoperator repeatability and interoperator reproducibility were investigated.

Study Design: Using 3DTUS, volume data sets were obtained from the nine nulliparous pregnant women by three operators (A, B, and C) in each of the three study sessions. With volume reconstruction, a plane along the inferior edges of bilateral inferior pubic rami was obtained on the axial section.

Responsiveness of the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire in women undergoing treatment for pelvic floor disorders.

Introduction And Hypothesis: This study evaluated the responsiveness and minimal important differences (MID) of the Chinese Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI) and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ) in women undergoing urodynamic stress incontinence (USI) and/or pelvic organ prolapse (POP) treatment.

Methods: One hundred and fifty-six women were assessed using the PFDI and PFIQ before and after they received continence surgery and or pelvic floor repair (PFR) surgery, or vaginal pessary. Symptom severity was recorded using a visual analog scale (VAS) before and after treatment as was rating of their satisfaction with the treatment they received.

Symptoms, quality of life, and factors affecting women's treatment decisions regarding pelvic organ prolapse.

Introduction And Hypothesis: We performed an investigation of symptoms, quality of life (QOL), and factors affecting women's treatment choice of pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

Methods: Three hundred and eight women presenting with POP were assessed by Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI), Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ), Short Form-36 (SF-36), Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system, and urodynamic studies. Treatment was arranged according to each woman's preference after counseling.

Chinese validation of Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI) and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ).

Methods: Women who presented for pelvic floor disorders completed the Chinese version of PFDI and PFIQ, SF-36, a 3-day urinary and fecal diary. POP-Q assessment, urodynamic study, anal manometry, and ultrasound were performed where appropriate.

Adolescent girls' attitudes on human papillomavirus vaccination.

Study Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the attitudes of adolescent girls on Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and the impact of an information pamphlet on their attitude. Other factors that may affect their attitude were also studied.

Design: Questionnaire survey.

Women's attitudes on human papillomavirus vaccination to their daughters.

This study assessed the impact of an information pamphlet on acceptance of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in Chinese women. The pamphlet increased the self-perceived knowledge on cervical cancer and HPV of the study subjects and had a positive influence on women accepting HPV vaccination for their daughters (p < .001).
