Predictors of Post Operative Morbidity in Older Women With Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Completed

Conditions studied: Pelvic Organ Prolapse

In brief

The Investigators hypothesize that functional status scores in elderly women undergoing surgery for pelvic organ prolapse will be lower at 6 weeks post-operatively but will have returned to baseline at 12 weeks post-operatively. The Investigators hypothesize that greater co-morbidity, frailty and worse functional status before surgery are associated with slower functional recovery, prolonged length of stay in a hospital or nursing care institution and greater post-operative complications following surgery for pelvic organ prolapse.
