Risk Factors for Surgical Failure and Worsening Pelvic Floor Symptoms Within 5 Years After Vaginal Prolapse Repair.

CONCLUSIONS: Hispanic ethnicity, larger preoperative perineal body, and higher pretreatment Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory scores were risk factors for surgical failure up to 5 years after vaginal prolapse repair. Participants with higher baseline Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory scores were less likely to worsen. Risk factors for worsening Urinary Distress Inventory and Colorectal-Anal Distress Inventory scores included more vaginal deliveries and increased age, respectively.
