Three-dimensional pelvic floor ultrasound measuring levator ani hiatus area and its association with pelvic organ prolapse: a population based retrospective cross-sectional study in Chinese women

For Chinese women, we suggest a cut-off of 14.45 cm<sup>2</sup> at rest for 'normal' LAH and the hiatal area of ≥20.30 cm<sup>2</sup> at rest for a close correlation with severe POP.
