Trends in inpatient prolapse procedures in the United States, 1979–2006
Open accessAbstract
Objective We sought to describe national trends for inpatient procedures for pelvic organ prolapse from 1979-2006.Study design The National Hospital Discharge Survey was analyzed for patient and hospital demographics, as were International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnostic and procedures codes from 1979-2006. Age-adjusted rates (AARs) per 1000 women were calculated using the 1990 US Census data.Results There was a significantly decreasing trend in the AARs for inpatient prolapse procedures, from 2.93-1.52 per 1000 women from 1979-2006. AARs for hysterectomy decreased from 8.39-4.55 per 1000 women from 1979-2006. Over the study period, AARs remained at about the 1979 level among the women>or=52 years old (2.73-2.86; P=.075). In women<52 years old, AARs declined to less than one-third of the 1979 rate (3.03-0.84; P<.001).Conclusion AARs for inpatient procedures for prolapse in the United States remained stable for women aged>or=52 years from 1979-2006; rates declined by two-thirds for women aged<52 years.

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.
