Abstract
Pearson’s Chi-square, Fisher’s Exact, Wilcoxon rank sum tests, and repeated measures. RESULTS: 130 women were identified. 50 women had a posterior repair (PR+). 28 were combined with anterior apical repair, and 22 only had a posterior repair. 80 women had anterior apical repair without posterior repair (PR-). There was no significant difference in mean age (PR+ 63, PR64 years, p1⁄40.66) or placement of transvaginal mesh (PR+ 56%, PR73%). Being sexually active at baseline was similar (PR+ 48%, PR50%) and remained similar at 6 months (PR+ 52%, PR57%) and 1 year (PR+ 53%, PR47%). Answers to PISQ question #5 showed that dyspareunia was not different at baseline (PR+ 23%, PR10%, p 1⁄4 0.26), 6 months (PR+ 12% PR13%, p 1⁄4 1.0), or 1 year (PR+ 12%, PR17%, p 1⁄4 1.0). Baseline PISQ scores were similar and remained so at 6 months and 1 year (Table 1). PISQ scores improved significantly in both groups over time (PR+ 0.0013, PR0.0014). CONCLUSIONS: At 6 months and 1 year follow-up, women with posterior compartment repair have similar rates of being sexually active, dyspareunia, and similar improvement in PISQ scores as women with anterior apical compartment repairs.
