ABSTRACT

Currently, there is only one internationally recognized classification system for codifying pelvic organ support-the POPQ. It has proven itself to be a reliable system and it is the system that should be employed in research regarding pelvic organ support. The Baden and Walker “half-way” system remains a common system in clinical practice and this may stem from its ease of use; however, it should not continue to supplant the POPQ in research studies and the scientific literature (10) .
