(Abstracted from Urogynecology 2023; doi: 10.1097/SPV.0000000000001384) Approximately 25% of women in the United States are affected by pelvic floor disorders, with estimates pointing to a 50% increase in urinary incontinence prevalence and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) by 2050. Surgery for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is also often required, which adds to economic burdens of pelvic floor disorders. Determining the POP patients who would benefit most from concomitant midurethral slings (MUSs) remains a clinical challenge.
