The extended pessary interval for care (EPIC) study: a failed randomized clinical trial

Letter to the editor: The extended pessary interval for care (EPIC) study: a failed randomized clinical trial

“…

We read with great interest the recent original article entitled "The extended pessary interval for care (EPIC) study: a failed randomized clinical trial" Written by Anglim et al [1]. We congratulate the authors for their interesting study that described study design flaws and limited outcomes of a randomized trial that intended to compare satisfaction and complication rates between patients managing their pelvic organ prolapse with a pessary at different maintenance intervals.

Response to commentary

“…We thank Drs. Azarkish and Janghorban for their interest in our recently published article [1]. The main objective of this study was to help clinicians determine the appropriate interval for office-based pessary care, in an attempt to provide a recommendation on best practice.…”
