[Efficacy of burch colposuspension in the stress urinary incontinence treatment evaluated with he use of consort diagram].

Abstract

Different results of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) treatment may be caused by methodological bias. A group of specialists have introduced a new way of clinical results analysis, called CONSORT (The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trial). The aim of the study was to evaluate CONSORT diagram usefulness to objectivize analysis of effectiveness of operative urinary stress incontinence (SUI) treatment with the use of Burch colposuspension. Prospective analysis was provided among 50 women planned for Burch colposuspension because of SUI II and III degree. Before treatment and half year later there were performed urogynecological exams according to protocol. With use of CONSORT diagram we evaluated the percentage of cured patients between 42% to 70% according to diagnostic method and possibility to obtain complete data. The use of CONSORT diagram allows detailed analysis of data completeness. It is useful to minimize the bias effect resulting from lack of results of particular exam. It is useful to objectivize estimation of effectiveness of SUI treatment with use of Burch colposuspension.
