Pelvic Floor Disorders Network Clinical Sites

描述(由申请人提供)：盆底疾病很常见，令人烦恼，而且没有得到充分的治疗。来自犹他大学盆底疾病网络临床网站的研究人员的首要目标是改善盆底功能障碍领域的女性健康。为此，网站的特定目标包括：1)确定优先研究领域，2)开发评估工具，3)制定和实施PFDN协议，4)招募和登记PFDN协议的受试者，5)实现准确的招募目标和较高的受试者保留率6)确保高质量的数据7)将数据准确地传输到数据协调中心，8)参与数据分析，9)向研究界传播结果，10)制作高质量的出版物本建议中概述的随机临床试验的广泛的科学目标是评估与常规护理相比，盆腔器官脱垂的阴道手术后立即放置节育器是否可以改善解剖成功率。 相关性：每四名美国妇女中就有一人有中到重度的盆底疾病症状。改善对这些疾病的预防、诊断和治疗至关重要。犹他大学为我们在这方面的知识作出了很大贡献，并证明了它有能力充分参与盆底疾病网络的合作机制。通过继续参与这一网络，犹他州现场调查人员的多学科团队计划进一步发展妇女保健。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Pelvic floor disorders are common, bothersome, and inadequately treated. The overarching aim of the investigators from the proposed University of Utah Pelvic Floor Disorders Network Clinical Site is to improve women's health in the area of pelvic floor dysfunction. To this end, site specific aims include: 1) Identifying priority areas of research, 2) Developing assessment tools, 3) Developing and implementing PFDN protocols 4) Recruiting and enrolling subjects in PFDN protocols, 5) Achieving on-target recruitment goals and high subject retention 6) Ensuring high-quality data 7) Transmitting data accurately to the Data Coordinating Center, 8) Participating in data analysis, 9) Disseminating results to the research community, and 10) Producing high-quality publications The broad scientific aim for the randomized clinical trial outlined in this proposal is to evaluate whether a pessary placed immediately after vaginal surgery for pelvic organ prolapse improves anatomic success compared to usual care. RELEVANCE: One in four American women has moderate to severe symptoms of pelvic floor disorders. Improving prevention, diagnosis and treatment of these disorders is crucial. The University of Utah has contributed substantially to our knowledge in this area and has demonstrated its ability to fully participate in the cooperative mechanism of the Pelvic Floor Disorders Network. Through continued participation in this network, the multi-disciplinary team of Utah site investigators plan to progress women's healthcare further.
