Do @entity9292 in XXXX behave differently and defy Goodsall's rule more frequently than fistulas that are cryptoglandular in origin?

@entity1 @entity9292 @entity292 @entity30
OBJECTIVES: The complexity of @entity9292 is different in @entity1 with and without @entity30 and in @entity1 and @entity1 . This may affect the localization of the internal orifice. We compared the characteristics of @entity9292 and the accuracy of Goodsall's rule in predicting the position of the internal orifice in male and female @entity30 @entity1 . METHODS: A total of 191 @entity292 tracks in 182 consecutive @entity1 (110 @entity1 and 72 @entity1 ) were analyzed prospectively. Of the @entity1 , 63 were diagnosed with @entity30 . The positions of the orifices were recorded and the accuracy of Goodsall's rule determined. RESULTS: The distribution of @entity292 subtypes among @entity30 @entity1 differed significantly (p = 0.0471). Fistulas with an anterior external opening occurred more frequently in @entity30 @entity1 (p = 0.0350) and in @entity1 (p = 0.0030). Fistulas with a posterior external orifice were observed more frequently in non- @entity30 @entity1 (p = 0.0350) and in @entity1 (p = 0.0028). Overall, Goodsall's rule performed less well in @entity1 compared with @entity1 (p = 0.0633). The accuracy of Goodsall's rule overall was not affected by @entity30 . In female non- @entity30 @entity1 , the positive predictive value of a posterior external orifice was lower than in @entity1 (p = 0.0406). CONCLUSIONS: The distribution of @entity292 subtypes and the ratio of anterior and posterior external openings among @entity30 @entity1 differ significantly. @entity292 defy Goodsall's rule, particularly in @entity1 and when applied to fistulas with anterior external orifices. The popular rule, however, falls equally short in @entity30 .
