The prevalence of overt, occult, and no-demonstrated stress urinary incontinence and their clinical and urodynamic findings in women with advanced-stage cystoceles.

OBJECTIVES: To elucidate the prevalence of overt, occult and no demonstrated (ND) stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women with advanced-stage cystoceles. STUDY DESIGN: Between November 2011 and January 2017, all women with ≥stage 2 cystoceles were retrospectively enrolled. Overt SUI was diagnosed before the prolapse reduction test, and occult SUI was diagnosed when urine leakage was noted after a reduction test with vaginal gauze. Otherwise, a diagnosis of ND-SUI was made. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The prevalence, clinical and urodynamic findings of overt SUI, occult SUI, and ND-SUI. RESULTS: In 480 enrolled women, 62% had overt SUI, 17% had occult SUI, and 21% had ND-SUI. The occult SUI group had the most advanced prolapse. The pad weight results after prolapse reduction (37.3 ± 44.3 vs. 13.4 ± 21.9, p < 0.05), the bladder capacity (243 ± 54 vs. 273 ± 48, p < 0.001), and questionnaires regarding life quality were significantly different between the overt SUI and the occult SUI groups. Bladder oversensitivity (BO) was the most common urodynamic diagnosis (389/480, 81%), especially in overt SUI, while urodynamic stress incontinence (56/480, 12%) and detrusor overactivity (60/480, 13%) were uncommon. The cutoff value of stage 3 uterine prolapse was the strongest predictor for predicting occult SUI (sensitivity = 30.3%, specificity = 78.5%; area = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.52-0.68). CONCLUSIONS: SUI occurs in a ratio of 3:1:1 among cases with overt, occult, and no demonstrable symptoms. BO is the most common urodynamic diagnosis. Pad test with prolapse reduction remains an important tool, especially for coexistent stage 3 uterine prolapse.

Age-specific prevalence, clinical and urodynamic findings of detrusor underactivity and bladder outlet obstruction in female voiding dysfunction.

OBJECTIVE: Female voiding dysfunction with cystocele have been widely studied, but there are no data regarding women without cystoceles. The present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of detrusor underactivity (DU) and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) without cystoceles in a large sample size. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study. Between April 1996 and September 2018, 602 neurologically intact women with voiding dysfunction without cystoceles were enrolled. Detrusor pressure (DU) at the maximum flow rate (PdetQmax) <20 cmH2O, maximum flow rate (Qmax) <15 mL/s, and a bladder voiding efficiency <90% and BOO (PdetQmax ≥40 cmH2O and Qmax <12 mL/s) were diagnosed by urodynamic study. Otherwise, a non-DU/BOO diagnosis was made. The prevalence of DU and BOO was the primary outcome. The secondary outcomes were the analyses of the differences between these three groups in objective UDS parameters and subjective questionnaires and bladder diary parameters. RESULTS: This study included 100 (17%) women with DU, 60 (10%) with BOO, and 442 (73%) with a non-DU/BOO diagnosis. DU increased with age, but BOO decreased as age increased. The women in the DU group were older, had higher parity and pad weights, and lower PdetQmax, maximum urethral closure pressure, and functional profile length than the BOO group. The urodynamic findings did not correlate well to subjective questionnaire parameters. None of the symptoms revealed a significant difference between the groups. The retrospective design was the limitation of the study. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of DU increased with age in women with voiding dysfunction without advanced cystoceles. Conversely, BOO decreased with age. Prevalence intersected in the fourth decade. Diagnosis requires urodynamic evaluation, as subjective symptoms are inconclusive.

Predictors of non-persistence in women with overactive bladder syndrome.

Persistence is important for the success in the treatment of women with overactive bladder syndrome (OAB). We aimed to identify the predictors of non-persistence in women with OAB after first-line medical treatment. All consecutive women with OAB (n = 608), who underwent urodynamic studies and received first-line medical treatment (5 mg of solifenacin or 25 mg of mirabegron per day) in a referral medical center, were reviewed. Mirabegron (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.711) was associated with a higher persistence rate, compared to solifenacin. Mirabegron treatment (HR = 0.269) was less likely to switch medication; however, a high Urogenital Distress Inventory score (HR = 1.082) was more likely to switch medication. Furthermore, old age (HR = 1.050, especially for ≥ 75 years) and high voided volume (dL, HR = 1.420, especially for voided volume ≥ 250 ml) were associated with added medication at follow-up. Additionally, women with low parity (HR = 0.653, especially for parity ≤ 3) and a low Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) score (HR = 0.828, especially for IIQ-7 score ≤ 7) were associated with improvement without medication. In conclusion, mirabegron can be considered as the first frontline treatment to increase the persistence rate and decrease the rate of switched medications, compared to solifenacin. In addition, combination therapy or higher-dose monotherapy could be used as the first front-line treatment for women ≥ 75 years of age or with ≥ 250 ml of voided volume.

Effect of tibolone vs hormone replacement therapy on climacteric symptoms and psychological distress.

BACKGROUND: The objective was to elucidate the effect of tibolone vs hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on climacteric symptoms and psychological distress. METHODS: All consecutive women with climacteric symptoms were allocated to receive tibolone (2.5 mg) or estradiol valerate (1 mg) plus medroxyprogesterone acetate (2.5 mg). RESULTS: The improvement in "feeling dizzy or faint" after tibolone treatment was more prominent than that after HRT (-0.7 ± 0.8 vs -0.0 ± 0.9, p = 0.004). In addition, other climacteric symptoms, including anxiety, depression, somatic symptoms, and vasomotor symptoms, and sexual function improved after tibolone and HRT, but there were no between-group differences. Psychological distress assessment demonstrated that somatic complaints, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, depressive symptoms, hostility, additional symptoms, and the General Symptom Index improved after tibolone treatment and HRT, but there were no between-group differences. Personality traits assessment revealed that neuroticism improved after tibolone treatment. CONCLUSION: Tibolone seems more beneficial than HRT in treating symptoms of dizziness and faintness. Both tibolone and HRT could improve psychological distress.

Effect of tibolone versus hormone replacement therapy on lower urinary tract symptoms and sexual function.

BACKGROUND: Few studies have compared the effects of tibolone versus hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on lower urinary tract symptoms and female sexual function. The current study aimed to compare these treatments. METHODS: Women with climacteric symptoms were recruited consecutively and allocated to receive tibolone (2.5 mg) or estradiol valerate (1 mg) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (2.5 mg). Patients were followed up at 4 weeks and 12 weeks after treatment. RESULTS: Overall, there were no significance of improvement in the International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) scores in the HRT group. However, nocturia and the IPSS storage score improved after tibolone treatment. In addition, orgasm, satisfaction and pain improved after HRT. However, desire, lubrication, and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) total scores improved after tibolone treatment. There was a between-group difference in the change from baseline in the nocturia score after 4 weeks of treatment (0.1 ± 0.9 for HRT vs. -0.4 ± 1.2 for tibolone, p = 0.02). Nonetheless, there were no significant differences of the changes from baseline in the other IPSS and FSFI domains between the tibolone and HRT groups. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the limited effect, tibolone seems to have more benefit in nocturia than HRT. In addition, tibolone seems to have benefits on overall low urinary tract storage symptoms; and both tibolone and HRT seem to have beneficial effects on female sexual function, despite there were no significant differences between tibolone and HRT.

A small mature cystic ovarian teratoma associated with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis and acute respiratory failure: A case report.

OBJECTIVE: To report a rare case of anti-N-Methyl-d-aspartate receptor encephalitis (anti-NMDARE) presented by mental and behavioral changes and seizures accompanied with respiratory failure. CASE REPORT: A 37-year-old multiparous woman was initially presented with abnormal mental behavior and the diagnosis of schizophrenia was made, but the disease progressed rapidly to general convulsion and acute respiratory failure. Although active treatment, including steroids, intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIGs) and plasma exchange was applied, no significant improvement was obtained. Transvaginal ultrasound and pelvic magnetic resonance image (MRI) were arranged and the results showed a suspicious cystic lesion (3 × 2.3 cm) at the right ovary. Laparoscopic unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and final pathology reported a matured cystic teratoma, suggesting that this patient had anti-NMDARE secondary to ovarian mature teratoma. After surgery, the clinical condition was dramatically improved and she recovered completely without sequelae. CONCLUSION: Although it is well-known about the relation between anti-NMDARE and ovarian mature teratoma, this small tumor may result in the missing diagnosis. Remind us to consider the possibility of any small ovarian cystic lesion-related anti-NMDARE in women with autoimmune encephalitis.

Immune-Hot tumor features associated with recurrence in early-stage ovarian clear cell carcinoma.

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a distinct histotype of ovarian cancer, which usually presages a worse prognosis upon recurrence. Identifying patients at risk for relapse is an unmet need to improve outcomes. A retrospective cohort analysis of 195 early-stage OCCC patients diagnosed between January 2011 and December 2019 at National Taiwan University Hospital was conducted to identify prognostic factors for recurrence, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Molecular profiling of tumors was performed in a case-controlled cohort matched for adjuvant therapy for biomarker discovery. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard model revealed that paclitaxel-based chemotherapy was associated with better PFS than nonpaclitaxel chemotherapy (HR = 0.19, P = .006). The addition of bevacizumab was associated with better PFS, compared to no bevacizumab (HR = 0.09, P = .02). Neither showed significant improvement in OS. Recurrence is associated with an Immune-Hot tumor feature (P = .03), the CTLA-4-high subtype (P = .01) and increased infiltration of immune cells in general. The Immune-Hot feature (HR = 3.39, P = .005) and the CTLA-4-high subtype (HR = 2.13, P = .059) were associated with worse PFS. Immune-Hot tumor features could prognosticate recurrence in early-stage OCCC.

Feasibility and clinical implications of 3-day bladder diary derived classification of female storage lower urinary tract symptoms.

Our aim was to assess the feasibility of a bladder diary (BD) classification as a surrogate for urodynamic studies in women with storage lower urinary tract symptoms. A total of 3823 women who underwent urodynamic studies were reviewed. Nearly the scores of Patient Perception of Bladder Condition, Indevus Urgency Severity Scale and Overactive Bladder Symptom Score decreased gradually from the overactive bladder (OAB) wet-BD, OAB dry-BD, hypersensitive bladder (HSB) -BD, nocturia-BD to normal-BD groups (all p < 0.001). In addition, there is a trend that the rates of bladder oversensitivity decreased gradually from the OAB wet-BD, OAB dry-BD, HSB-BD, nocturia-BD to normal-BD groups (chi-square test, p < 0.001). Moreover, almost the volumes of first desire to void, normal desire to void, strong desire to void, and urgency increased gradually from the OAB wet-BD, OAB dry-BD, HSB-BD, nocturia-BD to normal-BD groups (all p < 0.001). Thus, this BD classification is correlated significantly with symptom severity, the rate of bladder oversensitivity, and bladder capacity. Nonetheless, a combination of urodynamics, clinical history, and BD is still needed for a thorough diagnosis, but that BD provides an efficient diagnosis in a proportion of patients.

Fatal rectovaginal fistula in post-radiotherapy locally advanced cervical cancer patients.

OBJECTIVE: To present the detailed history of three cervical cancer patients with rectovaginal fistula, who had undergone radiotherapy. CASES REPORT: A 74-year-old patient with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis had radiotherapy for her advanced cervical cancer. Colonoscopic biopsy showed radiation sigmoid colitis and ulcers. Laparotomy revealed colon perforation and rectovaginal fistula. The second case is a 54-year-old cervical cancer patient, who had received concurrent chemoradiation therapy and further systemic therapy with cisplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab. She suffered from bloody stool and abdominal pain. Rectovaginal fistula was found during exploratory laparotomy. The third case is a 35-year-old cervical cancer patient, who had received concurrent chemoradiation therapy. Systemic therapy was then prescribed with platinum, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab for her lung metastasis, and a rectovaginal fistula was found later. All three patients did not survive later. CONCLUSIONS: Fatal rectovaginal fistula may occur in post-radiation advanced cervical cancer patients. Unnecessary colonoscopic biopsy may cause significant sequelae. In patients with high risk for rectovaginal fistulas, chemotherapy without adding bevacizumab might be suggested in patients with low risk of poor response to chemotherapy. In addition, three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy or intensity-modulated radiation therapy should be used for patients with high risk for fistulas.

Comparison of cesarean section rates between obstetricians preferring labor induction at early versus late gestational age.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the cesarean section (CS) rates of obstetricians with a preference of labor induction at early versus late gestational age. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Medical records of women who were low risk, nulliparous, singleton pregnancy, and >37 weeks and delivered their babies, were reviewed. Obstetricians, who preferred labor induction at<41 weeks, were allocated to the early induction group; and the other obstetricians were allocated to the late induction group. RESULTS: The late induction group had a higher percentage of labor induction at ≥41 weeks, compared with the early induction group (21% vs. 8%, p = 0.007). The late induction group had a lower CS rate (11.0% vs. 19.1%, p < 0.001). Multivariable Cox proportional hazard model revealed that the early induction group (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.14, p < 0.001), maternal age (HR = 1.04, p = 0.001), premature rupture of membranes (HR = 1.59, p = 0.006), and birth body weight (kg, HR = 2.13, p < 0.001) were independent predictors of CS. In women receiving labor induction (n = 312), birth body weight (kg, HR = 1.72, p = 0.04) was the sole predictor of CS; and there is a trend that the early induction group (HR = 1.54, p = 0.051) has a higher CS rate, compared with the late induction group. However, gestational age at labor induction was not a predictor of CS. CONCLUSION: In low-risk pregnancies, obstetricians preferring labor induction at early gestational age seem to be associated with a higher CS rate, compared with obstetricians preferring labor induction at late gestational age. Nonetheless, the above finding seems to be associated with physician's factor, instead of gestational age at labor induction.

Clinical outcome and urodynamic changes of tailored transvaginal mesh surgery for pelvic organ prolapse: A mid-term 40 Months follow-up.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the changes in clinical outcome and urodynamic parameters after tailored anterior transvaginal mesh (ATVM) surgeries in a mid-term follow-up. METHODS: Between November 2011 and December 2015, women with ≥stage II pelvic organ prolapse (POP) who underwent ATVM surgeries were retrospectively reviewed. The data-reviewing timeframe was until December 2021. Clinical and urodynamic diagnoses regarding urinary symptoms were evaluated before and after the operation. RESULTS: A total of 160 women were included. Stress urinary incontinence decreased significantly after the operation (99% (159/160) vs. 43% (68/160), p < 0.01), as well as the pad weight (20.5 ± 2.7 vs. 9.4 ± 2.0, p < 0.001) and diagnosis of urodynamic stress incontinence (83% (132/160) vs. 51% (82/160), p < 0.01). Overactive bladder syndrome increased significantly after the operation (18% (29/160) vs. 28% (45/160), p = 0.03), even though the objective parameters, such as first and strong desire to void, bladder oversensitivity, and detrusor overactivity, were all improved after the operation. The pad weight was mostly improved significantly within the first postoperative 2 years. Eighteen (11%) women had global recurrent POP, and only one (0.6%) woman had true recurrence of cystocele. Twenty-four (15%) women had mesh extrusion, and two-thirds of them could be managed in an office setting. CONCLUSION: In women with advanced cystocele, the ATVM surgery provides a favorable anatomic reduction outcome with an acceptable mesh extrusion rate. The ATVM provides an anti-incontinence effect, both in subjective symptoms and objective parameters, but this effect might decline after postoperative 2 years.

Impact of mirabegron versus solifenacin on autonomic function and arterial stiffness in female overactive bladder syndrome: a randomized controlled trial.

The study aims to elucidate the impact of mirabegron versus solifenacin on autonomic function and peripheral arterial conditions in women with overactive bladder syndrome (OAB). All consecutive women with OAB were randomized to receive 12 weeks of mirabegron 25 mg or solifenacin 5 mg once per day. Heart rate variability, cardio-ankle vascular index, ankle-brachial pressure index, blood pressure, and heart rate were compared between the two groups. There were 87 women (mirabegron, n = 43; and solifenacin, n = 44) who completed 12-week treatment and underwent heart rate variability examination. Systolic blood pressure (median: - 4.5 to - 5.5 mmHg) and diastolic blood pressure (median: - 0.5 to - 3.5 mmHg) decreased after solifenacin treatment, and heart rate (median: + 2 bpm) increased after mirabegron treatment, despite of no between-group difference. In addition, posttreatment heart rate variability, cardio-ankle vascular index, and ankle-brachial pressure index did not differ compared with baseline; and there were no between-group differences. In conclusion, solifenacin might decrease blood pressure, and mirabegron might increase heart rate. Nonetheless, there were no significant impacts of 12-week mirabegron versus solifenacin treatment on autonomic function and arterial stiffness.

Feasibility and Safety of Intraoperative Radiotherapy with Low Energy X-ray Photon Therapy for Recurrent Gynecological Cancer: A Case Series.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of low energy X-ray photon intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) as an adjuvant therapy for recurrent gynecological cancer. METHODS: Medical records of all recurrence gynecological cancer patients who underwent IORT were reviewed. RESULTS: Between January 2018 and December 2021, five women (including cervical cancer (n = 2), endometrial cancer (n = 2), and uterine leiomyosarcoma (n = 1)), who underwent IORT and surgical resection for recurrent gynecologic cancer were reviewed. A median dose of 15.62 Gy (range, 12 to 20 Gy) was used for IORT. Repeated IORT and surgical resection was performed in two women. Three women experienced local recurrence, and three women died during follow-up. The 1-year local control rate was 60%. The 2-year overall survival rate was 30%. There was no Clavien-Dindo classification grade III-V complication. CONCLUSION: IORT using low energy X-ray photon therapy seems to be feasible and safe as an adjuvant therapy in women who underwent salvage surgery for recurrent gynecologic cancer. However, large-scale prospective studies are needed to confirm our findings and evaluate its efficacy.

Predictors for the Recurrence of Clinically Uterine-Confined Endometrial Cancer and the Role of Cytokeratin Immunohistochemistry Stain in the Era of Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping.

BACKGROUND: The primary objective of this study was to elucidate the predictors for cancer recurrence in women with clinically uterine-confined endometrial cancer in the era of sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping. METHODS: All consecutive women with clinically determined uterine-confined endometrial cancer who had lymph node assessment by either SLN mapping or traditional pelvic lymphadenectomy were reviewed. RESULTS: Women in the SLN mapping group had lower total dissected pelvic nodes, lower incidence of para-aortic lymph node dissection, less intraoperative blood loss and lower complication rates, but a longer operation time compared to the traditional lymphadenectomy group. Para-aortic lymph node metastasis (hazard ratio = 7.60, p = 0.03) was the sole independent predictor for recurrence-free survival. In addition, the utilization of cytokeratin immunohistochemistry stain detected more lymph node metastases (adjusted odds ratio = 3.04, p = 0.03). Recurrence-free survival did not differ between SLN mapping and traditional lymphadenectomy groups (p = 0.24). CONCLUSIONS: Para-aortic lymph node metastasis is an important predictor of cancer recurrence. Women with negative hematoxylin and eosin stain should undergo cytokeratin immunohistochemistry stain to increase the detection rate of positive lymph node metastasis. Besides, the probabilities of recurrence seem to be similar between SLN mapping and traditional lymphadenectomy groups in women with clinically uterine-confined endometrial cancer.

Factors affecting clinical outcomes in women with non-gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

OBJECTIVE: The clinical presentation of non-gastric GISTs might mimic adnexal cancer, and non-gastric GIST might be managed and treated by gynecologists. Knowledge of the clinical outcomes of women with non-gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) is important. Our aim is to elucidate the factors affecting the clinical outcomes of women with non-gastric GISTs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 2000 and October 2019, all consecutive women with non-gastric GISTs who underwent surgery in a tertiary referral center were reviewed. RESULTS: Twenty-six women were reviewed. Eight (31%) women experienced recurrence. The probabilities of recurrence-free survival (RFS) at 60 and 120 months were 65.2% and 55.9%, respectively. The probabilities of overall survival (OS) at 60 and 120 months were 71.1% and 63.9%, respectively. Cancer stage was the only independent predictor of RFS (hazard ratio = 6.00, p = 0.007) and OS (hazard ratio = 3.88, p = 0.04). However, excluding cancer stage, metastasis (hazard ratio = 8.74) was the only independent predictor of RFS, and tumor size (hazard ratio = 1.20) and metastasis (hazard ratio = 6.03) were independent predictors of OS. Tumor size ≥13.9 cm was the optimum cut-off value to predict death and had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.75 (95% confidence interval = 0.53 to 0.98). Among the above 5 women with non-gastric GISTs admitted to the Gynecology Department, optimal debulking surgery was performed in two women, and small bowel resection was performed in three women; and all five women remained alive without disease. CONCLUSION: Non-gastric GISTs may mimic gynecologic tumors. Metastasis was an independent predictor of PFS. In addition, metastasis and large tumor size (especially ≥13.9 cm) were independent predictors of OS in women with non-gastric GISTs.

Prevalence, severity, and associated factors in women in East Asia with moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause.

OBJECTIVE: To understand prevalence, severity, impact, and treatment of vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause, using cross-sectional survey data. METHODS: This online, two-part survey was conducted in East Asia among women 40-65 years recruited from established online panels (Edelman, Beijing; Hankook Research, Seoul; Rakuten Insight, Taipei) using stratified sampling. Part I collected demographics/disease characteristics, including menopausal status and vasomotor symptom severity. Women with moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms completed Part II, including clinical characteristics, health-related quality of life, and healthcare-seeking behavior. Primary endpoints included vasomotor symptom prevalence and severity and proportions of women eligible and willing to take hormone therapy. Results are presented for each of the three online panels separately and as a pooled total. All analyses are descriptive with no formal hypothesis testing across groups. RESULTS: Numbers of peri- versus postmenopausal women completing Part I were Edelman, 1,588 (55.1% vs 44.9%); Hankook Research, 1,000 (43.6% vs 56.4%); Rakuten Insight, 773 (61.7% vs 38.3%). Vasomotor symptom prevalence was =80% in each region; overall moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptom prevalence was 55%; >50% of women were untreated. Most of those treated used non-prescription treatments. Menopausal hormone therapy use was reported by 11.6% of peri- and 7.2% of postmenopausal women. In peri- and postmenopausal women with moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms, 8.6% and 3.4%, respectively, were hormone therapy-willing, 19.3% and 16.8% hormone therapy-contraindicated, 25.4% and 23.0% hormone therapy-cautious, and 10.2% and 8.3% hormone therapy-averse. Women experienced significant burden on health-related quality of life and substantial impairment of work productivity and daily activities. CONCLUSIONS: Vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause affected =80% of women aged 40 to 65 years. A substantial proportion of women are unsuitable for, or choose not to take, menopausal hormone therapy, resulting in an unmet need for nonhormonal treatment options.

Predictors of Clinical Outcome in Women with Pelvic Organ Prolapse Who Underwent Transvaginal Mesh Reconstruction Surgery.

Background and Objectives: To identify the predictors of clinical outcomes in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) who underwent transvaginal reconstruction surgery, especially with transobturator mesh fixation or sacrospinous mesh fixation. Materials and Methods: All women with POP who underwent transvaginal reconstruction surgery, especially with transobturator mesh fixation or sacrospinous mesh fixation, were reviewed. Results: Between January 2011 and May 2019, a total of 206 consecutive women were reviewed, including 68 women receiving POP reconstruction with transobturator mesh fixation and 138 women who underwent POP reconstruction with sacrospinous mesh fixation. The least experienced surgeon (hazard ratio = 804.6) and advanced stage of cystocele (hazard ratio = 8.80) were the predictors of POP recurrence, especially those women with stage 4 of cystocele. Young age (hazard ratio = 0.94) was a predictor for mesh extrusion, especially those women with age ≤67 years. Follow-up interval (odds ratio = 1.03, p = 0.02) was also an independent predictor of mesh extrusion. High maximum flow rate (Qmax, hazard ratio = 1.03) was the sole predictor of postoperative stress urinary incontinence, especially those women with Qmax ≥19.2 mL/s. Preoperative overactive bladder syndrome (hazard ratio = 3.22) were a predictor for postoperative overactive bladder syndrome. In addition, overactive bladder syndrome rate improved after surgery in the sacrospinous group (p = 0.0001). Voiding dysfunction rates improved after surgery in both sacrospinous and transobturator groups. Conclusions: Predictors of clinical outcome in women who underwent transvaginal POP mesh reconstruction are identified. The findings can serve as a guide for preoperative consultation of similar procedures.
