Repeatability and reproducibility of measurements of the suburethral tape location obtained in pelvic floor ultrasound performed with a transvaginal probe
Introduction: Implants used to treat patients with urogynecological conditions are well visible in US examination. The position of the suburethral tape (sling) is determined in relation to the urethra or the pubic symphysis. Aim of the study: The study was aimed at assessing the accuracy of measu...

| description | Introduction: Implants used to treat patients with urogynecological conditions are well visible
in US examination. The position of the suburethral tape (sling) is determined in relation
to the urethra or the pubic symphysis. Aim of the study: The study was aimed at assessing
the accuracy of measurements determining suburethral tape location obtained in pelvic US
examination performed with a transvaginal probe. Material and methods: The analysis covered
the results of sonographic measurements obtained according to a standardized technique
in women referred for urogynecological diagnostics. Data from a total of 68 patients
were used to analyse the repeatability and reproducibility of results obtained on the same
day. Results: The intraclass correlation coefficient for the repeatability and reproducibility
of the sonographic measurements of suburethral tape location obtained with a transvaginal
probe ranged from 0.6665 to 0.9911. The analysis of the measurements confirmed their
consistency to be excellent or good. Conclusions: Excellent and good repeatability and reproducibility
of the measurements of the suburethral tape location obtained in a pelvic ultrasound
performed with a transvaginal probe confirm the test’s validity and usefulness for
clinical and academic purposes. |
