PFUS was utilized to measure bladder, uterine, and rectal positions during maximal Valsalva maneuver. POP-Q staging was conducted by two blinded urogynecologists (inter-rater reliability \u03ba\u2009=\u20090.87). Statistical analyses included Spearman\u2019s correlation (\u03c1), diagnostic performance metrics (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy), and group comparisons using t-tests or chi-square tests.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The POP group exhibited significant organ descent versus controls, including mean bladder descent (4.5\u2009\u00b1\u20091.2\u2009cm vs. 1.8\u2009\u00b1\u20090.3\u2009cm; P\u2009=\u20090.004) and uterine descent (5.2\u2009\u00b1\u20091.4\u2009cm vs. 2.05\u2009\u00b1\u20090.40\u2009cm; P\u2009=\u20090.012). PFUS measurements demonstrated strong correlation with POP-Q stages (compartment-specific \u03c1\u2009=\u20090.87\u20130.91). Overall agreement was 90.0% (\u03c1\u2009=\u20090.92, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001), with high diagnostic accuracy (93.5%), sensitivity (&amp;gt;90%), and specificity (&amp;gt;96%).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>PFUS is a reliable, non-invasive method to quantify pelvic organ displacement, showing excellent agreement with the clinical standard POP-Q system.
