Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The aim of this explorative study is to evaluate existing clinical parameters that are developed for supine MRI (angles, distances, function/composition of the muscle) in upright scanning and to assess how these parameters change between supine and upright MRI scanning. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| • To evaluate if there is a correlation between the anatomical severity of POP, as measured with POP-Q, and the parameters obtained with MRI. • To evaluate if there is a correlation between the parameters obtained from the MR images pre and postoperative. • To explore if additional parameters can be defined, based on the upright MRI scan, that may be of interest to the surgeon and outcome of surgical treatment, which can be further tested for their clinical merit in a future trial | — |
