Long-term outcomes
POP rates at 12 months after childbirth revealed no difference between
the groups, with 4/38 from the TG and 6/42 from the CG still symptomatic
(p=0.6). There were no differences regarding the rates of women bothered
by symptoms in the TG and CG respectively, leaving 1/37 and 3/42 in the
TG vs. CG bothered by POP symptoms (p=0.4).
Repeated measure analyses using Proc Genmod in SAS did not indicate a
significant effect of the intervention over time, p>0.05.
Analysis per-protocol did not change the outcomes.
