T/CATE 0016-2024 Standardized Technical Specification for Early Recognition and Intervention of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in Women

Scope

Scope: This document describes the testing of early warning models, early identification, and intervention techniques for female pelvic floor dysfunction. This document is applicable to the early identification and intervention of pelvic floor dysfunction in all women aged 18 and above. This document is suitable for use by clinicians in primary hospitals and tertiary hospitals, including gynecologists, rehabilitation specialists, urologists, and pelvic floor specialists. Main technical content: Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is a group of diseases caused by various factors such as defects in the pelvic floor support structure, injury, and dysfunction, resulting in displacement of pelvic organs and causing various functional abnormalities of pelvic organs such as pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, and sexual dysfunction. In recent years, domestic and international research has focused on how to predict disease risk, how to conduct comprehensive disease assessments, how to provide individualized precision surgery and medical treatment through multi-dimensional modeling, and long-term follow-up intervention. Pelvic floor dysfunction is a chronic process and is easily overlooked in the early stage. Therefore, identifying high-risk factors and forming early warning models targeting pathological mechanisms is the key to prevention, control, and treatment. This document systematically studies the early warning models, early identification, and intervention techniques for PFD based on clinical guidelines and expert consensus for female pelvic floor dysfunction, and recommends clinically effective early warning models and intervention techniques. The main purpose of this document is to recommend evidence-based early identification and intervention techniques for female pelvic floor dysfunction and standardize the early warning and intervention process.
