Association Between Primary Language, Pelvic Organ Prolapse Stage, and Treatment
This study highlights inequity in the treatment of POP by primary language. The NEPL population had a similar rate of advanced POP and significantly higher rates of all the subcategories of prolapse. However, they were significantly less likely to undergo surgery. This suggests bias toward conservative measures in those with NEPL.
