Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
OBJECTIVES: Current validated instruments to screen for pelvic organ prolapse and its sequelae address bulge symptoms, bowel and bladder changes, and sexual intimacy. However, sensitivity is lower in younger women, and there is no instrument specifically designed to screen in postpartum, primiparous women for early changes, that is, changes that may be noticed before the symptom of a bulge or signs of pelvic organ prolapse occur. Our goal was to elucidate early sensations of pelvic floor support changes in primiparous women after their first vaginal delivery. These could be the focus of future studies differentiating such sensations from a normal postpartum, aiding identification of women for further follow-up. METHODS: Using comparative focused ethnographic methods, we purposefully sampled and interviewed 17 multiparous women diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse and 60 primiparous women, half Euro-American and half Mexican American, English or Spanish speaking. Audiotapes were transcribed and then translated. Using inductive coding and matrix analysis, we used constant comparison across transcript data and clustered coded data into body systems-level matrices to arrive at categories of early changes. RESULTS: We identified early changes by ethnic group in pelvic area sensations and bowel, bladder, and sexual function, including sensations not mentioned in extant questionnaires. CONCLUSIONS: Early changes may be distressing but difficult for women to introduce in a clinical conversation. Querying these changes may enhance patient-provider communication. Future research is needed to validate these items in questionnaires designed to identify women with persistent early changes that may lead to subsequent objective pelvic organ prolapse.
