Quality assessment of transperineal ultrasound in Chinese tertiary medical centers: a multicenter study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) is a vital examination method for diagnosing pelvic floor diseases. However, the quality of TPUS largely relies on the operator's experience, and there is a lack of studies on the evaluation of TPUS quality. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the quality of TPUS examinations in Chinese tertiary medical centers.

Methods

This multicenter study conducted in 44 Chinese tertiary medical centers recruited postpartum women between September 2020 and September 2021. All participants underwent a standardized inquiry and TPUS examination. The participating centers were required to submit 5 parts of ultrasound data to the National Ultrasound Quality Control Center: 2-dimensional images at rest, 2-dimensional images at strain;
