Can Classifications Adequately Represent Genital Malformations?

Abstract Introduction Genital malformations are a common clinical occurrence that can be represented using different classifications. Reproducibility is an essential quality characteristic for classification, and it plays important role, especially in consultations the treatment of infertile patients obstetric management. The aim this study to demonstrate reproducibility practicality three commonly used classifications: ESHRE/ESGE (European Society Human Reproduction Embryology/ European Gynecological Endoscopy), VCUAM (Vagina Cervix Uterus Adnex-associated Malformation), AFS (American Fertility Society) Materials Methods Sixty-five with female genital were included prospective, multicenter, exploratory, observational study. All participants underwent examination medical interview. investigators instructed classify presenting according ESHRE/ESGE, VCUAM, classifications structured questionnaire. Investigators asked whether malformation could reproducibly classified (yes/no) about grade (grade 1–5 from “very good” “deficient”) they would assign each classification. Classification assessment was queried vagina, cervix, uterus, adnexa, associated scored 1 5. Results rated as 80% (n = 52/65), 92.3% 60/65), 56.9% 37/65) respectively. or “good” 83.3%, 89.2%, 10.8% vaginal malformations; 75.8%, 87.5%, 24.2% cervical 89.7%, 89.5%, 86.2% uterine malformations, 77.8% 69.6% adnexal “sufficient” "deficient” 100% 75% 77.3% Conclusion prospective multicenter EVA (ESHRE/ESGE | AFS) revealed organ-based perform better terms well individual compartments than non-organ-based
