Isolation and Characterization of the Murine Uterosacral Ligaments and Pelvic Floor Organs

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a condition that affects the integrity, structure, and mechanical support of the pelvic floor. The organs in the pelvic ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the publication rate of full-text articles after the presentation of abstracts at consecutive annual meetings of the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS) over a 2-year period.

The fate of abstracts presented at annual meetings of the american urogynecologic society from 2007 to 2008.

There are no data on midwives' knowledge and management of obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIs) in the USA. We performed a cross-sectional national survey characterizing OASI practice by certified nurse midwives (CNMs), hypothesizing that few midwives personally repair OASIs and that there are gaps in CNM OASI training/education.

Prevention and Management of Severe Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injuries (OASIs): a National Survey of Nurse- Midwives.

Clinical quality improvement relies on accurate understanding of current practice. We performed a cross-sectional national survey of certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) assessing classification and identification of obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) and other delivery lacerations. We hypothesized laceration diagnoses are frequently inaccurate, and delivery records for obstetric lacerations may be of questionable quality.

Identification of obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIs) and other lacerations: a national survey of nurse-midwives.

Patient safety data including rates of obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) are often derived from hospital discharge codes. With the transition to electronic medical records (EMRs), we hypothesized that electronic provider-entered delivery data would more accurately document obstetric perineal injury than traditional billing/diagnostic codes.

Accuracy of obstetric laceration diagnoses in the electronic medical record.

Pelvic organ prolapse is common, but the underlying etiologies are poorly understood, which limits our current prevention and treatment options.

Using the novel pelvic organ prolapse histologic quantification system to identify phenotypes in uterosacral ligaments in women with pelvic organ prolapse.

Obstetric lacerations complicate the majority of deliveries. The application of standardized guidelines for assessing delivery trauma has not been assessed thoroughly in the United States. We recently identified gaps in US midwives' clinical assessment of delivery trauma. We conducted a cross-sectional national survey of practicing obstetricians in the USA to characterize their classification of obstetric lacerations. We hypothesized that attending obstetricians' identification and diagnosis of delivery trauma would be similar to our findings for midwives with frequent inaccuracy.
