Aim: This review aimed to evaluate the quality of medicalinformation online for patients relating to vulvodynia. To our knowledge no evaluation of online patient information exists regarding vulvodynia and, at present, there is no standardized or validated method of evaluating medical information on the internet.
Methods: A clearly defined protocol was developed to generate keywords relating to vulvodynia.
Objectives: To evaluate the content validity of 19 patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) used to measure quality of life (QoL) in women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP).
Study Design And Setting: We searched Embase, MEDLINE, PsycINFO databases and Google Scholar from inception to August 2020. We included records describing the development or studies assessing content validity of PROMs.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Variations in guidelines may result in differences in treatments and potentially poorer health-related outcomes. We aimed to systematically review and evaluate the quality of national and international guidelines and create an inventory of CPG recommendations on CPP.
Methods: We searched EMBASE and MEDLINE databases from inception till August 2020 as well as websites of professional organizations and societies.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Qualitative research has an increasing role in the development of core outcome sets (COS) adding patient perspectives to the considerations of core outcomes. We aimed to identify priorities of women with experience of chronic pelvic pain (CPP).
Methods: The search strategy was a systematic review of qualitative studies identified from Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE and PsycInfo databases.
The CanMEDS expertise model is a multi-domain competency framework for doctors. The aims of this study were to assess the perceived importance of the CanMEDS roles and achievement among obstetrics and gynaecology trainees of all grades with a view to identifying opportunities to enhance training. This study was exempt from formal ethical or institutional registration.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Settings: Single endometriosis referral center.
Objective: There is no systematic evaluation of online health information pertaining to obstetric anal sphincter injury. Therefore, we evaluated the accuracy, credibility, reliability, and readability of online information concerning obstetric anal sphincter injury.
Materials And Methods: Multiple search engines were searched.
