Improvement in Patient Perception of Bladder Condition Score (PPBC)
Difference in Patient Perception of Bladder Condition (PPBC) score from start of medication to end of trial (12 weeks). This is a single item patient reported global question that assesses a patients subjective impression of the current urinary problems. The patients is asked to rate their perceived bladder condition on a 6 point scale ranging from 1 (no problem) at all to 6 (many severe problems). To assess change in PPBC the baseline value is subtracted from the end of study value. Thus changes in score typically range from -2 to 2. Negative values represent an improvement.
