Emergency Department Visits for Pelvic Organ Prolapse in the United States
Emergency department presentation for pelvic organ prolapse is uncommon. Disproportionate emergency department use was seen for patients <65 years old and with low household income. Further initiatives can optimize outpatient workflows for urogynecologic care and expand community outreach efforts on prolapse education to reduce emergency department use for nonurgent concerns.
