| Abstract | Objectives: The primary objective was to evaluate the reliability of Cervamet and POPstix in pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) measurement by 2 different groups of experienced physicians. The secondary objectives were to study time used for examination and patients' discomfort scores. Materials and Methods: 156 Thai pelvic organ prolapse women attending a gynecology clinic at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital from October 2019 to July 2020 participated in the study. The participants who underwent POP-Q measurement were divided into 4 groups: group1: two staffs using Cervamet, group 2: two staffs using POPstix, group 3: two residents using Cervamet, and group 4: two residents using POPstix. The results were blinded to one another. The time used for examination and the patients' discomfort score were recorded. Results: The reliabilities (intraclass correlation coefficient) were good in both resident groups: POPstix (0.75-0.98) and Cervamet (0.76-0.98) and in the staffs group: POPstix (0.75-0.95) and Cervamet (0.78-0.96). The median of the time used by the resident group was higher than in the staff group (POPstix: 1.71 vs 1.45 minutes, Cervamet: 3.04 vs 1.99 minutes) (p < 0.01). There was no statistical difference in the patients' discomfort scores in all groups.Conclusion: The Cervamet was a non-disposable tool which equivalent reliability when compared to the POPstix that could be considered as an alternative for POP-Q measurement. |
