Abstract
Introduction: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a widespread disease in women. Despite its significant prevalence, there is a lack of comprehensive global studies, emphasizing the urgent need for tailored prevention and treatment approaches. This study aims to examine the global burden of POP from 1990 to 2021 and project future trends using the GBD data.
Methods: Data were collected from the GBD 2021 database. A Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was used to analyze the trends and predict future burden, with age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR) and years lived with disability (YLD) as key metrics.
Results: In 2021, the global ASPR and age-standardized YLD rate of POP were 2769.4 (95% UI 2299.2-3298.2) and 8.5 (95% UI 4.1-16.2) per 100,000 people, respectively. Both ASPR and YLD rate decreased between 1990 and 2021. The burden of POP is highest in low-SDI regions. The global prevalence of POP was highest in the 80+ age group, while the absolute number of cases reached its peak in the 55-59 age group. By 2036, the global population of POP patients will reach 156 million. Additionally, both the ASPR and AS-YLD rates of POP will continue to decline over the next 15 years.
Conclusion: While the global burden of POP decreased between 1990 and 2021, ASPRs in regions with low SDI remained high. With the gradual aging population, POP will continue to pose a significant burden on women's health and the social economy in the future. Strengthening global surveillance and prevention efforts for POP remains a critical challenge.
期刊介绍：
The International Urogynecology Journal is the official journal of the International Urogynecological Association (IUGA).The International Urogynecology Journal has evolved in response to a perceived need amongst the clinicians, scientists, and researchers active in the field of urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders. Gynecologists, urologists, physiotherapists, nurses and basic scientists require regular means of communication within this field of pelvic floor dysfunction to express new ideas and research, and to review clinical practice in the diagnosis and treatment of women with disorders of the pelvic floor. This Journal has adopted the peer review process for all original contributions and will maintain high standards with regard to the research published therein. The clinical approach to urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders will be emphasized with each issue containing clinically relevant material that will be immediately applicable for clinical medicine. This publication covers all aspects of the field in an interdisciplinary fashion
