Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification Accuracy for Elongasio Cervix Diagnose in Pelvic Organ Prolapse Patients

Abstract

Objective: To know sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) to measure cervical length for cervical elongation diagnose in Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) patients with gold standard was the anatomical cervical length from hysterectomy result. Methods: Diagnosis research, cross-sectional, consecutive sampling. POP-Q was taken before the operation and the anatomical cervical length was from hysterectomy result. Results: Sixty six subject, 1.5% 2nd stage POP, 45.5% 3rd stage POP, and 53.0 % 4th stage POP. Mean (± sd) age and body mass index consecutively 59.88 years (± 9.347) and 24.41 (± 3.67) kg/m2. Median (min-max) cervical length POP-Q and anatomy consecutively 4 cm (1-12) and 5 cm (3-10). Sensitivity, Specificity dan Accuracy POP-Q consecutively 79%, 58% dan 68%. Conclusions: POP-Q has good specificity (79%) but with less sensitivity (58%) with accuracy 68% to diagnose cervical elongation in POP.
