Age- and Population-Adjusted Trends in Inpatient Surgical Management of Vaginal Prolapse, Rectal Prolapse, and Concurrent Vaginal and Rectal Prolapse Surgery

ObjectiveTo report age- and population-adjusted trends in the prevalence of inpatient vaginal prolapse (VP), rectal prolapse (RP), and concurrent VP/RP surgical procedures in women in Washington State over a 12-year period.

description ObjectiveTo report age- and population-adjusted trends in the prevalence of inpatient vaginal prolapse (VP), rectal prolapse (RP), and concurrent VP/RP surgical procedures in women in Washington State over a 12-year period. MethodsThe Comprehensive Hospital Abstract Reporting System, an inpatient claims database, was queried for female patients aged 20 years or older with a diagnosis of VP and/or RP and associated surgical procedures from 2008 to 2019. Rates for female patients were adjusted by age and population based on census results. ResultsBetween 2008 and 2019, inpatient admissions for concurrent VP/RP surgery remained stable, with adjusted rates ranging from 1.42 to 3.38 per 100 000, with a majority performed in patients < 80 years old. The population-adjusted rate of inpatient RP repairs remained stable at 3.12 to 5.14 per 100 000. The population-adjusted rate of inpatient VP repairs decreased dramatically, from 81.79 to 6.96 per 100 000. ConclusionsThe rate of inpatient RP and combined RP/VP surgical procedures was low and remained stable, while inpatient VP surgical repairs decreased substantially. Since the dataset is limited to inpatient surgery, this trend may reflect a shift to outpatient settings for VP surgeries. Nationally in the United States, there has been a trend toward multidisciplinary surgical management of concurrent VP/RP. However, this same trend does not appear to be reflected in Washington State, suggesting that nationwide trends may not be reflective of trends within each state. Further study is needed to understand how and why local trends in the management concurrent VP/RP may differ from national trends, and potentially improve concurrent VP/RP management using multidisciplinary approaches.
