An international urogynecological association (IUGA)/international continence society (ICS) joint report on the terminology for reporting outcomes of surgical procedures for pelvic organ prolapse
Abstract
Introduction and Hypothesis: Standardized terminology has yet to be developed for reporting the outcomes for surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Methods: This report combines the input of the Terminology and Standardization Committees of the International Urogynecological Association (IUGA) and the International Continence Society (ICS) and a joint Working Group on this topic, as well as expert external referees. The aim was to present a standardized terminology for the definitions of surgery and propose a structure for reporting the outcomes of surgical procedures for POP. An extensive drafting and review process was undertaken, as well as open review on both IUGA and ICS websites. Results: A terminology report was developed outlining the recommended structure for reporting outcomes of surgical trials involving POP. This document does not define success and failure. The report includes patient‐reported subjective and objective outcomes to enable researchers to report on their results and compare them with other studies. Conclusions: A consensus‐based method for standardizing terminology for reporting outcome measures of POP surgery was developed to aid clinicians working in this area of research. Neurourol.

Research on factors associated with successful prolapse repair has been hampered by a lack of standardised definition of surgical and patient-reported success and awareness of reporting structures.
“Despite considerable endeavour aimed at determining factors which might be associated with successful prolapse repair, research has been hampered by a lack of standardised definition of both surgical and patient‐reported success and awareness of reporting structures that have been developed [5].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
