INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS
A standardized system for reporting pelvic organ prolapse is important for clinical communication, patient follow-up, and meaningful comparisons between studies. In 1996, the description of the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system (POPQ) was published. We hypothesized that its use in published articles of specialized journals would increase over time.
METHODS
Articles from eight journals in 2004 and 2007 were included if any attempt to grade prolapse was mentioned. Reviews, editorials, and abstracts were excluded.
RESULTS
Use of POPQ increased from 64.9% to 82.1% (p = 0.01) while other systems decreased. POPQ was used more frequently in the US than other countries. Urologists used POPQ less and Baden-Walker more frequently than other specialists.
CONCLUSIONS
Use of POPQ has increased in the period studied. This trend was observed in all the subgroups analyzed, showing that POPQ is being adopted as the universal language of prolapse in the published literature.
引言与假设
用于报告盆腔器官脱垂的标准化系统对于临床交流、患者随访以及研究间的有意义比较非常重要。1996年，盆腔器官脱垂定量系统（POPQ）的描述得以发表。我们假设其在专业期刊发表文章中的使用会随时间增加。
方法
纳入2004年和2007年来自八本期刊的文章，前提是提及任何对脱垂进行分级的尝试。排除综述、社论和摘要。
结果
POPQ的使用从64.9%增至82.1%（p = 0.01），而其他系统的使用则减少。在美国，POPQ的使用比其他国家更为频繁。与其他专科医生相比，泌尿科医生较少使用POPQ，而较多使用巴登-沃克分类法。
结论
在所研究的时间段内，POPQ的使用有所增加。在所有分析的亚组中均观察到这一趋势，表明POPQ正在成为已发表文献中脱垂的通用语言。
