- The efficacy of mid-urethral sling (MUS) surgery in older women and women with a significant disease burden is limited. We aimed to determine the influence of chronological age and physical status (assessed by the American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status, ASA) classification on outcomes.Cure rate, change in frequency of lower urinary tract symptoms, satisfaction, impact, and adverse events after MUS surgery were assessed in 5200 women aged 55-94 years with MUS surgery (2010-2017). Data were analysed by multivariate logistic regression and Mantel-Haenszel chi-square statistics.The cure rate was 64.2% (95% CI, 60.0-68.4) in the ≥ 75-year cohort compared to 88.5% (95% CI, 87.1-89.8) in the 55-64-year cohort (trend p < 0.0001). The estimated probability of cure, improvement, and satisfaction with the procedure decreased by aOR10yr = 0.51 for cure to aOR10yr = 0.59 for satisfaction (all p < 0.0001). Women with a significant health burden (ASA class 3-4) had lower cure rates and satisfaction than those without (65.5% vs. 83.7%, p < 0.0001 and 65.7% vs. 80.6%, p < 0.0001). Older age was more likely to be associated with de novo urgency (p = 0.0022) and nocturia ≥ 2 (p < 0.0001). Adverse events, readmission, and 30-day mortality rates were low. Women, irrespective of age, were equally satisfied if they experienced a decrease of at least one step in leakage frequency.Even if MUS surgery in older women and those with ASA class 3-4 was associated with a lower cure rate and less satisfactory outcome, a majority were satisfied provided they experienced a reduction of incontinence episodes.

- The aetiology of bowel incontinence in middle-aged women is multifactorial and the contribution of birth-related factors later in life is still poorly defined. The aim was to assess prevalence, risk factors and severity of faecal (FI, defined as the involuntary loss of faeces-solid or liquid) and anal incontinence (AI, includes FI as well as the involuntary loss of flatus) 20years after one vaginal (VD) or one caesarean section (CS).

Prevalence and risk factors for pelvic organ prolapse 20years after childbirth: a national cohort study in singleton primiparae after vaginal or caesarean delivery. BJOG 2012; DOI : 10.1111/1471-0528.12020. Objective To investigate prevalence and risk factors for symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (sPOP) and sPOP concomitant with urinary incontinence (UI) in women 20years after one vaginal delivery or one caesarean delivery. Design Registry-based national cohort study. Setting Women who returned a postal questionnaire in 2008 (response rate 65.2%). Population Singleton primiparae with a birth in 1985-88 and no further births (n=5236). Methods The SWEPOP study used validated questionnaires about sPOP and UI. Main outcome measures Prevalence rate and risk of sPOP with or without concomitant UI. Results Prevalence of sPOP was higher after vaginal delivery compared with caesarean section (14.6 versus 6.3%, odds ratio [OR] 2.55; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.98-3.28) but was not increased after acute compared with elective caesarean section. Episiotomy, vacuum extraction and second-degree or more laceration were not associated with increased risk of sPOP compared with spontaneous vaginal delivery. Symptomatic POP increased 3% (OR 1.03; 95% CI 1.01-1.05) with each unit increase of current BMI and by 3% (OR 1.03; 95% CI 1.02-1.05) for each 100g increase of infant birthweight. Mothers ≤160cm who delivered a child with birthweight ≥4000g had a doubled prevalence of sPOP compared with short mothers who delivered an infant weighing <4000g (24.2 versus 13.4%, OR 2.06; 95% CI 1.19-3.55). Women with sPOP had UI and UI>10years more often than women without prolapse. Conclusion The prevalence of sPOP was doubled after vaginal delivery compared with caesarean section, two decades after one birth. Infant birthweight and current BMI were risk factors for sPOP after vaginal delivery.

- Objective To investigate the prevalence and risk factors for urinary incontinence (UI) 20years after one vaginal delivery or one caesarean section. Design Registry-based national cohort study. Setting Women who returned postal questionnaires (response rate 65.2%) in 2008. Population Singleton primiparae who delivered in the period 1985-1988 with no further births (n=5236). Methods The Swedish Pregnancy, Obesity and Pelvic Floor (SWEPOP) study linked Medical Birth Register (MBR) data to a questionnaire about UI. Main outcome measures Prevalence of UI and UI for more than 10years (UI>10years) were assessed 20years after childbirth. Results The prevalence of UI (40.3 versus 28.8%; OR1.67; 95%CI 1.45-1.92) and UI>10years (10.1 versus 3.9%; OR2.75; 95%CI 2.02-3.75) was higher in women after vaginal delivery than after caesarean section. There was no difference in the prevalence of UI or UI>10years after an acute caesarean section or an elective caesarean section. We found an 8% increased risk of UI per current body mass index (BMI) unit, and age at delivery increased the UI risk by 3% annually. Conclusions Two decades after one birth, vaginal delivery was associated with a 67% increased risk of UI, and UI>10years increased by 275% compared with caesarean section. Our data indicate that it is necessary to perform eight or nine caesarean sections to avoid one case of UI. Weight control is an important prophylactic measure to reduce UI. Current BMI was the most important BMI-determinant for UI, which is important, as BMI is modifiable.

- The long-term effects of vaginal delivery, parity, and pregnancy on the pelvic floor remain uncertain and controversial issues. In comparison with studies using self-reported symptoms, surgical register data may offer a more valid means for evaluating the relative influence of these risk factors.This study used data from 3 high-quality nationwide registers, namely the Swedish National Quality Register of Gynecological Surgery, the Swedish Medical Birth Register, and the Total Population Register, to evaluate the contribution of vaginal and cesarean delivery, parity, and factors not related to childbirth to the long-term risk for reconstructive urogenital surgery.This was a register-based linkage study among women aged ≥45 years who underwent urinary incontinence or prolapse surgery from 2010 to 2017. This surgical cohort was divided into nulliparous women, women with ≥1 cesarean deliveries only, those with ≥1 vaginal deliveries, and according to the number of births. A corresponding reference group was constructed based on women born in 1960 from the Total Population Register (n=2,309,765). The Swedish Medical Birth Register was used to determine the rate of women with cesarean and vaginal delivery and their respective parity. Absolute and relative risk were presented per 1000 women with 95% confidence intervals. Pairwise differences were analyzed with Fisher exact tests and the Mann-Whitney U test for dichotomous and continuous variables. The trend between ≥3 ordered categories of dichotomous variables was analyzed with Mantel-Haenszel statistics.A total of 39,617 women underwent prolapse surgery and 20,488 underwent incontinence surgery. Among women with prolapse surgery, 97.8% had ≥1 vaginal delivery, 0.4% had ≥1 cesarean delivery only, and 1.9% were nullipara. Corresponding figures for those with incontinence surgery were 93.1%, 2.6%, and 4.3%, respectively. Women with vaginal deliveries were overrepresented in the prolapse surgery (relative risk, 1.23; 95% confidence interval, 1.22-1.24; P<.001) and incontinence surgery groups (relative risk, 1.17; 95% confidence interval, 1.15-1.19; P<.001). Nulliparous and cesarean delivered women were underrepresented in the prolapse surgery (relative risk, 0.14; 95% confidence interval, 0.13-0.15 and relative risk 0.055; 95% confidence interval, 0.046-0.065; all P<.001) and incontinence surgery groups (relative risk, 0.31; 95% confidence interval, 0.29-0.33 and relative risk, 0.40; 95% confidence interval, 0.36-0.43). The absolute risk for prolapse surgery was lowest after cesarean delivery (0.09 per 1000 women; 95% confidence interval, 0.08-0.11) and differed by a factor of 23 (absolute risk, 2.11 per 1000 women; 95% confidence interval, 2.09-2.13) from that after vaginal birth. The absolute risk for prolapse and incontinence surgery increased consistently with parity after vaginal births. This trend was not observed after cesarean delivery, which is on par with that of nulliparous women. The first vaginal birth contributed the highest increase in the absolute risk for pelvic organ prolapse surgery (6-fold) and stress urinary incontinence surgery (3-fold). The second vaginal birth contributed the lowest increase in the absolute risk for pelvic organ prolapse surgery (∼1/3 of the first vaginal birth) and for stress urinary incontinence surgery (∼1/10 of the first vaginal birth).Surgery for urinary incontinence and prolapse was almost exclusively related to vaginal parity. The risk for prolapse surgery increased consistently with parity after vaginal births but not after cesarean delivery, whereas the risk associated with cesarean delivery was on par with that of nulliparous women. Thus, cesarean delivery seems to offer protection from the need for pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence surgery later in life.

- Introduction and hypothesis A systematic survey on the association between childhood nocturnal enuresis (CNE) and adult pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) has not been presented previously. The aim was to describe the prevalence of PFDs and lower urinary tract symptoms in nulliparous women, with or without a history of CNE, at the age of >= 5 years. Methods This national survey of urinary (UI) and fecal incontinence (FI) and symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse (sPOP) was a random sample of 20,000 nulliparous women aged 25-64 years conducted in 2014. Women >= 5 years of age having CNE were compared with those without the condition. Fisher's exact test and logistic regression adjusted for BMI and age were used to analyze differences between groups. Results The response rate was 52% and 10.2% of adult women reporting CNE. One or more PFDs occurred in 38.3% of women with CNE compared to 23.8% in those without CNE (p < 0.0001). Mixed UI had the strongest association with CNE, odds ratio (OR) 2.63 (95% CI 2.03-3.40). The rate of FI was 11.2% in the non-CNE group and 16.8% in those with CNE (p < 0.0001) and sPOP 2.6% in the non-CNE and 4.8% in the CNE group (p = 0.0004), respectively. The prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms was consistently higher in women with a history of CNE: overactive bladder 32.6% versus 18.4% (OR 2.34 95% CI 2.03-3.40), daytime micturition >= 8/day 29.6% versus 24.0% (p < 0.0001), and nocturia >= 2/night 12.4% versus 7.8% (p < 0.0001) in the CNE group. Conclusion PFDs and lower urinary tract symptoms in nulliparous women were approximately doubled in women with a history of CNE and could therefore act as a strong confounding factor.

- The extent to which fecal incontinence is associated with obstetric history or pelvic floor injuries is still a controversial and unresolved issue. One crucial first step towards answering this question is the need to study fecal incontinence in non-pregnant nulliparous women.Therefore, the aim of this study was to present detailed, descriptive measures of accidental leakage of liquid or solid stool and gas in a randomly selected, large national cohort of non-pregnant nulliparous women aged 25 to 64 years.The Swedish Total Population Register identified the source population. Four independent, age-stratified, simple random samples in a total of 20,000 nulliparous women aged 25-64 years were drawn from 625,810 eligible women. Information was collected in 2014 using postal and web-based questionnaires. The 40-item questionnaire included questions about the presence and frequency of leakage of solid and liquid stool and gas, which provided the basis for the generic terms fecal and anal incontinence. Statistical analyses of differences between groups were performed using Fisher's exact test for dichotomous variables and the Mann-Whitney U-test for continuous variables. The trend between >2 ordered categories of dichotomous variables was analyzed with Mantel-Haenszel statistics. When analyzing the trend between multiple ordered versus non-ordered categorical variables, the Kruskal-Wallis test was used. The age-related probability and risk increase per 10 years for incontinence parameters was calculated from logistic regression models adjusted for body mass index (BMI).The study population was 9197 women, and the response rate was 52.2%, ranging from 44.7% in women aged 25-34 years to 62.4% among those 55-64 years. All types of incontinence, except severe isolated gas incontinence, increased with age up to 64 years. The estimated probability of fecal incontinence was 8.8% at age 25 years and 17.6% at age 64. Leakage of liquid stool was dominant, occurring in 93.1% (95%CI 91.4-94.5) of the women with fecal incontinence, whereas leakage of solid stool occurred in 33.9% (95%CI, 31.1-36.7), of which ∼80% also had concomitant leakage of liquid stool. Leakage of liquid stool increased markedly up to age 65, whereas the increase in isolated leakage of solid stool was negligible across all ages (overall <0.4%). Liquid and solid stool, separate or in combination, co-occurred with gas in ∼80%. The distribution pattern of the different types of leakage, single or combined, was similar in all age groups. Both age and BMI (kg/m2) were risk factors for fecal incontinence (P<0.0001) with an interaction effect of P=0.16.Abnormal stool consistency has been identified as the strongest risk factor for accidental bowel leakage. The same pattern characterized by a dominance of liquid stool and gas leakage, prevalent concomitant leakage of solid and liquid stool, and a negligible rate of isolated leakage of solid feces, was observed across all ages. The low rates of isolated leakage of solid stool support the impression that dysfunction of the continence mechanism of the pelvic floor had a negligible role for bowel incontinence, which is essential information for the comparison with women with birth-related injuries.

- A systematic survey of pelvic floor disorders in nulliparous women has not been presented previously.The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence parameters in a large cohort of nonpregnant, nulliparous women, and thereby construct a reference group for comparisons with parous women.This postal and World Wide Web-based questionnaire survey was conducted in 2014. The study population was identified from the Total Population Register in Sweden and comprised women who had not given birth and were aged 25-64 years. Four independent age-stratified, random samples comprising 20,000 women were obtained from the total number of eligible nullipara (n= 625,810). A 40-item questionnaire about pelvic floor symptoms, its severity, and its consequences were used. Age-dependent differences for various aspects of urinary incontinence were analyzed with the youngest group (25-34 years) serving as reference. Crude and body mass index-adjusted prevalence and its 95% confidence limits were calculated for each 10-year category.The response rate was 52% and the number of study participants was 9197. Urinary incontinence increased >5-fold from 9.7% in the youngest women with a body mass index <25 kg/m(2) to 48.4% among the oldest women with a body mass index ≥35 kg/m(2). The prevalence of bothersome urinary incontinence almost tripled from 2.8-7.9% among all nulliparas. The proportion with bothersome urinary incontinence among incontinent women increased from 24.4% in the youngest age group to 32.3% in the age group 55-64 years. Nocturia ≥2/night increased 4-fold to 17.0% and leakage ≥1/wk increased 3-fold to 12.8% among the oldest women. Mixed urinary incontinence increased from 22.9-40.9% among the oldest 0-para with incontinence, whereas stress urinary incontinence decreased inversely from 43.6-33.0%. In the total cohort surgical treatment for urinary incontinence occurred in 3 per thousand.Almost every aspect of urinary incontinence was present in nulliparous women of all ages and prevalence increased with advancing age between 25-64 years. This must be taken into account when using nullipara as a control group in comparisons with parous women to estimate the effect of pregnancy and childbirth.
