[PMID: 39156584 PMCID: PMC11330104 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e34534] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in women is a critical challenge. Due to the complex etiology and difficulties in diagnosis, it has a greatly negative impact on women's physical and mental health and the healthcare system. At present, there is still a lack of research on the related factors and predictive models of chronic pelvic pain in women. Our study aims to identify risk factors associated with chronic pelvic pain in women and develop a predictive nomogram specifically tailored to high-risk women with CPP. Materials and methods From May to October 2022, trained interviewers conducted face-to-face questionnaire surveys and pelvic floor surface electromyography assessments on women from community hospitals in Nanjing. We constructed a multivariate logistic regression-based predictive model using CPP-related factors to assess the risk of chronic pelvic pain and create a predictive nomogram. Both internal and external validations were conducted, affirming the model's performance through assessments of discrimination, calibration, and practical applicability using area under the curve, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis. Results 1108 women were recruited in total (survey response rate:1108/1200), with 169 (15.3 %) being diagnosed as chronic pelvic pain. Factors contributing to CPP included weight, dysmenorrhea, sexual dysfunction, urinary incontinence, a history of pelvic inflammatory disease, and the surface electromyography value of post-baseline rest. In both the training and validation sets, the nomogram exhibited strong discrimination abilities with areas under the curve of 0.85 (95 % CI: 0.81-0.88) and 0.85 (95 % CI: 0.79-0.92), respectively. The examination of the decision curve and calibration plot showed that this model fit well and would be useful in clinical settings. Conclusions Weight, dysmenorrhea, sexual dysfunction, history of urinary incontinence and pelvic inflammatory disease, and surface electromyography value of post-baseline rest are independent predictors of chronic pelvic pain. The nomogram developed in this study serves as a valuable and straightforward tool for predicting chronic pelvic pain in women.

Koh M, Kim MC, Jang JS. Difference in the prevalence of advanced colon adenoma between patients with gastric neoplasm and healthy people: A STROBE-compliant study. Medicine (Baltimore) 2022; 101:e29308. [PMID: 35623070 PMCID: PMC9276267 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000029308] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
We compared the prevalence of adenoma and cancerous colon polyps in patients undergoing endoscopic removal or gastric surgery for gastric adenoma or gastric cancer and in healthy individuals.The medical records of 707 patients with gastric neoplasm and 798 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects were retrospectively analyzed between January 2010 and July 2018. The clinicopathological characteristics, prevalence of colorectal neoplasm diagnosed by colonoscopy, and risk factors for colorectal polyps were also investigated.When comparing the two groups, the prevalence of overall colorectal polyps and its distribution was not different between the two groups (54.0% vs.49.5%, P = .079), whereas, the number of colon polyps (1.20 ± 1.71 vs 0.99 ± 1.54, P = .015) and the maximal size (3.53 ± 6.14 vs 2.08 ± 2.88, P < .001) were significantly larger in the gastric neoplasm group. The prevalence of advanced colon adenoma was significantly higher in the gastric neoplasm group (10.7% vs 3.8%, P < .001). Risk factors such as elevated glucose levels and the presence of gastric neoplasm were related to the prevalence of all colon polyps. The presence of gastric neoplasm is an important risk factor for advanced colon polyps.Patients with gastric neoplasms had a significantly higher prevalence of advanced colon adenoma. Advanced colon adenoma is associated with the chain from benign adenomas through malignant altered adenomas to advanced colon cancer. Thus, patients with gastric neoplasm are regarded as a high-risk group for colorectal cancer and are recommended for screening colonoscopy at the time of diagnosis.
