Popis: Introduction: As life expectancy increases, so does the incidence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Low expression of p53 may lead to reduced production and deposition of elastin in the extracellular matrix thus it may increase the risk for POP. This study aims to determine the relationship between p53 expression and the incidence of grade III-IV POP. Methods: This observational case-control study involved women with grade III-IV POP that underwent a total hysterectomy at Sanglah General Hospital Denpasar as the case group. The control group was non-prolapsed women who were matched to the case for the variables of age, parity, body mass index (BMI), and occupation to minimize bias. The p53 expression was grouped into low (
