The primary outcome was the incidence of pathologically confirmed VAIN 1+ (VAIN 1, 2, or 3 or vaginal cancer) in patients after hysterectomy for CIN or cervical cancer; the secondary outcome was the clinicopathologic characteristics of these patients. Single-proportion meta-analysis was performed to estimate the incidence and 95% CIs of VAIN 1+.TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTSA total of 18,959 patients who underwent hysterectomy for CIN or cervical cancer were included. The overall pooled incidence of VAIN 1+ was 2.7% (95% CI, 1.8-3.7%). The incidences of VAIN and vaginal cancer were 2.7% (95% CI, 1.7-3.7%) and 0.3‰ (95% CI, 0.0-1.0‰), respectively. The incidence of VAIN increased gradually in more recent studies compared with studies published before 2000.CONCLUSIONNearly 3 of every 100 women develop VAIN 1+ after hysterectomy for CIN or cervical cancer.

We included longitudinal observational studies (prospective or retrospective) and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Data were extracted with risk-of-bias assessment with the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool and the Risk of Bias in Nonrandomized Studies of Interventions tool. Extractions were reviewed by a second researcher. We conducted restricted maximum-likelihood meta-analyses of effect sizes as feasible.TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTSOne RCT and six cohort studies met the inclusion criteria. The overall quality of the studies was fair to good. The incidence of persistent pelvic pain after hysterectomy ranged widely, from 12% to 68%. Younger age was associated with increased likelihood of persistent pain after hysterectomy (summary odds ratio [OR] 1.39, 95% CI, 1.11-1.75; five studies, N=11,165). Ovarian conservation was not significantly associated with persistent pain (OR 2.04, 95% CI, 0.67-6.18; three studies). Endometriosis was variably associated with persistent pain, with two studies finding an association (summary OR 1.18, 95% CI, 1.06-1.31), whereas two other studies found that stage III or greater endometriosis was not associated with persistent pain (summary OR 0.99, 95% CI, 0.45-2.21). Multiple predictors of interest were evaluated by single studies, limiting the ability to draw aggregate conclusions.CONCLUSIONHigh proportions of patients undergoing hysterectomy for chronic pelvic pain experience persistent postoperative pain.

The latter reverses the order of the tests and incorporates a second treponemal test for discordant results. Although the reverse sequence may offer operational advantages, there is a need for formal cost-effectiveness analyses to compare these two syphilis screening alternatives.METHODSWe conducted cost-effectiveness analyses from the health care sector perspective to compare the reverse sequence with the traditional algorithm. We employed a decision tree for pregnant women in prenatal care that included the possibility of congenital syphilis outcomes. A simulated a cohort of 10,000 people was screened over 1 year to estimate total costs and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) under each algorithm. We estimated incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs). Sensitivity analyses were performed to identify influential parameters affecting the ICERs and to conduct scenario analyses.RESULTSDuring prenatal care, the reverse sequence detected four more cases, overtreated 185 more individuals, and prevented 0.42 more congenital syphilis cases (ICER $463,735/QALY gained), when compared with the traditional algorithm. Sensitivity analyses revealed that syphilis prevalence had the greatest effect on the ICER. To achieve ICERs below $50,000/QALY gained, syphilis prevalence would need to exceed 6% during prenatal care.CONCLUSIONOur analysis indicates that, under likely parameter values, the reverse sequence algorithm is equally effective but more costly than the traditional algorithm and therefore not cost effective. Although treponemal test automation may offer potential savings in laboratory costs, these are outweighed by overtreatment costs.","PeriodicalId":19483,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrics and gynecology","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144796947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A data set of 877 examinations was retrospectively collected from 11 centers. The presence of suspicious findings was determined by a panel of expert pediatric cardiologists, who determined that 311 examinations had at least one of the eight suspicious findings. The AI software processed each examination, labeling each finding as present, absent, or inconclusive.RESULTSOf the 280 examinations with known severe congenital heart defects, 278 (sensitivity 0.993, 95% CI, 0.974-0.998) had at least one of the eight suspicious findings present as determined by the fetal cardiologists, highlighting the relevance of these eight findings. We then evaluated the performance of the AI software, which identified at least one finding as present in 271 examinations, that all eight findings were absent in five examinations, and was inconclusive in four of the 280 examinations with severe congenital heart defects, yielding a sensitivity of 0.968 (95% CI, 0.940-0.983) for severe congenital heart defects. When comparing the AI to the determination of findings by fetal cardiologists, the detection of any finding by the AI had a sensitivity of 0.987 (95% CI, 0.967-0.995) and a specificity of 0.977 (95% CI, 0.961-0.986) after exclusion of inconclusive examinations. The AI rendered a decision for any finding (either present or absent) in 98.7% of examinations.CONCLUSIONThe AI-based software demonstrated high accuracy in identification of suspicious findings associated with severe congenital heart defects, yielding a high sensitivity for detecting severe congenital heart defects. These results show that AI has potential to improve antenatal congenital heart defect detection.","PeriodicalId":19483,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrics and gynecology","volume":"160 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144796897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
