Quantification of vaginal support: are continuous summary scores better than POPQ stage?
Open accessAbstract
Objective This analysis compared 3 continuous variables as summary support loss (SL) scores with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) quantification (POPQ) ordinal stages.Study design We used pooled baseline data from 1141 subjects in 3 randomized trials (CARE, n = 322; OPUS, n = 380; ATLAS, n = 439) to test 3 SL measures. The relative responsiveness was assessed using the standardized response mean of 2-year outcome data from the CARE trial.Results Each SL measure was strongly correlated with POPQ ordinal staging; the single most distal POPQ point had the strongest correlation. Improvements in anatomic support were weakly correlated with improvements in POP Distress Inventory (r = 0.17-0.24; P < .01 for each) but not with changes in POP Impact Questionnaire for all measures of SL or POPQ stage.Conclusion While continuous, single number summary measures compared favorably to ordinal POPQ staging system, the single most distal POPQ point may be preferable to POPQ ordinal stages to summarize or compare group data.

The SLmax value is a previously described continuous summary score to measure anatomic prolapse and has been strongly correlated with POPQ ordinal staging while demonstrating greater responsiveness to change.

A priori sample size estimation determined that 100 participants would allow for 80% power to assess a noninferiority margin of 1 cm of SLmax, with an SD of 1.2 cm and an alpha of .025.

From Standard Restrictions vs Expedited Activity After Pelvic Organ Prolapse Surgery (2023) · cites this paper as [17]
The Materials and Methods section describes an analysis of 1,141 participants and defines SLmax, but does not report an a priori sample-size calculation. Searches for noninferiority, 100 participants, 80% power, and the stated margin, SD, and alpha found no passage addressing the claimed calculation. Page numbers were not available in our copy.

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.
