Development of the "POP" scoring system for predicting obstetric and gynecological diseases in the emergency department: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Obstetric and gynecological (OBGY) diseases are among the most important differential diagnoses for young women with acute abdominal pain.

Methods

This single-center retrospective cohort study included female patients with acute abdominal pain who presented to our ED. We developed a logistic regression model for predicting OBGY diseases and assessed its diagnostic ability. This study included young female patients aged between 16 and 49 years who had abdominal pain and were examined at the ED between April 2017 and March 2018. Trauma patients and patients who
