Trial Outcomes & Findings for Operations and Pelvic Muscle Training in the Management of Apical Support Loss: The OPTIMAL Trial (NCT NCT00597935)

NCT ID: NCT00597935

Last Updated: 2020-10-22

Results Overview

The absence of the following: (1) descent of the vaginal apex more than one-third into the vaginal canal; (2) anterior or posterior vaginal wall descent beyond the hymen; (3) bothersome vaginal bulge symptoms as indicated by an affirmative response to either 'Do you usually have a sensation of bulging or protrusion from the vaginal area?' or 'Do you usually have a bulge or something falling out that you can see or feel in the vaginal area?' in the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory and any response other than 'not at all' to the question 'How much does this bother you?'; or (4) re-treatment for prolapse by either surgery or pessary.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 months

Population: This outcome is analyzed in participants randomized to both surgical and behavioral interventions who had non-missing data for this 24-month outcome. There are minor differences between the Number of Participants Analyzed and the 24-month numbers in the Participant Flow module because of missing data.

The absence of the following: (1) descent of the vaginal apex more than one-third into the vaginal canal; (2) anterior or posterior vaginal wall descent beyond the hymen; (3) bothersome vaginal bulge symptoms as indicated by an affirmative response to either 'Do you usually have a sensation of bulging or protrusion from the vaginal area?' or 'Do you usually have a bulge or something falling out that you can see or feel in the vaginal area?' in the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory and any response other than 'not at all' to the question 'How much does this bother you?'; or (4) re-treatment for prolapse by either surgery or pessary.

The Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory is a validated, self-reported instrument used to evaluate pelvic floor symptoms. It consists of 3 scales: 1. Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory (POPDI, with 3 subscales), 2. Colorectal Anal Distress Inventory (CRADI, with 4 subscales), and 3. Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI, with 3 subscales). Scores are calculated by multiplying the mean value of all questions answered by 25 for the subscales and then adding the subscales. The range of responses for the UDI is: 0-300 with 0 (least distress) to 300 (most distress). Lower scores indicate better function / fewer symptoms.

The Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire measuring the impact of bladder, bowel, and vaginal symptoms on a woman's daily activities, relationships and emotions is composed of 3 scales: the Urinary Impact Questionnaire (UIQ; 4 subscales, range 0-400), the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Impact Questionnaire (POPIQ; 4 subscales, range 0-400), and the Colorectal-Anal Impact Questionnaire (CRAIQ; 4 subscales, range 0-400). Scores are calculated by multiplying the mean value of all answered questions for a subscale by 100 divided by 3. The subscales are then added together. The range of responses is: 0-400 with 0 (least negative impact) to 400 (most negative impact). Change = (24 Month Score - Baseline Score). Lower scores indicate better function / fewer symptoms.

Timeframe: Baseline and 24 months

Population: This outcome is analyzed in participants randomized to both surgical and behavioral interventions who had non-missing data for this 24-month outcome. There are differences between the Number of Participants Analyzed and the 24-month numbers in the Participant Flow module because of missing data.

Sexual Function 36 (SF36) - Physical Health Component Score is the physical health component of the Sexual Function 36 survey with scores ranging from 0 to 100 with higher scores meaning a better health state. Scales are scored according to the algorithm that describes the handling of the various types of questions included in the questionnaire. Several steps are involved in the scoring process: recoding items that require it; summing over items; and transforming raw scale scores to a 0 to 100 scale. This physical health component is a function of several constructs measured under the SF36: physical functioning, physical role, bodily pain, general health, and vitality.
