To the Editor: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common pelvic floor disorder in older women and is responsible for a significant decrease in health-related quality of life. The study was approved by Ethics Committee of Peking Union Medical College Hospital (No.JS-3201D). [3–10] In the extended CARE study, which was published in JAMA in 2013, the estimated probability of treatment failure in the ASC group was 22% for anatomic POP, 24% for symptomatic POP, and 34% for composite POP, and the reoperation rate for POP failure was 5.4%. [...]a standardized preoperative evaluation was performed for each woman, and validated questionnaires were used to perform the outcome assessment.
