Practice and Costs of Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation: Analysis of the French National Health Data System.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisPelvic floor rehabilitation is the first-line treatment for patients with pelvic floor disorders such as urinary incontinence or genital prolapse. This rehabilitation can be carried out by a midwife, a physiotherapist, or autonomously using various therapeutic tools. We aimed to characterize the profiles of patients who have access to it, as well as their associated care pathways.
methodsUsing the French National Health Data System (SNDS), we identified female patients aged 18 to 65 who underwent pelvic floor rehabilitation in France in 2022. We defined two populations: postpartum (patients with a history of childbirth within the previous 6 months) and nonpostpartum (patients without such a history within the previous 6 months). We described their management.
resultsWe identified 638,982 patients (58.7% postpartum) who benefited from pelvic floor rehabilitation. The average age was 45.0 ± 11.3 years in the nonpostpartum group and 32.0 ± 4.7 years in the postpartum group. The average number of rehabilitation sessions ranged from 6.6 to 14.9 depending on the care pathway and was below recommended levels. The proportion of patients undergoing new pelvic floor rehabilitation within the following year was 4.5% in the postpartum group and 7.9% in the nonpostpartum group. The average recurrence interval was 168 ± 68 days. Pelvic floor rehabilitation generated 4.8 million consultations for a total of €114 million.
conclusionThis study highlights a diversity of practices in pelvic floor rehabilitation. The collection of clinical data linked to the SNDS could improve the understanding of these care pathways.
