February 8, 2026

Global burden and trends of pelvic organ prolapse: an observational trend study from 1990 to 2021.

Key Points

To assess the global burden and trends of pelvic organ prolapse over a 32-year period.
Observed annual age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR)
Calculated age-standardized disability-adjusted life years (AS-DALY)
Analyzed trends from 1990 to 2021
Global ASIR and AS-DALY of pelvic organ prolapse decreased significantly
High rates persist in low socio-development index (SDI) regions
Need for targeted prevention programs identified for affected areas

Abstract

Over the past 32 years, the global ASIR and AS-DALY of pelvic organ prolapse have continued to decrease significantly, while in low SDI regions, the rates remain high. These findings highlight the need for targeted pelvic organ prolapse prevention programs and proper investment in pelvic floor care in low SDI regions.
