Optimal Outcome of Treatment at 6 Months
Composite measure defined as "much better" or "very much better" on Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) and "normal" or "mild" on Patient Global Impression of Symptoms (PGI-S). PGI-I is a single item: "Circle the one answer that best describes your urinary tract condition now, compared to how it was before your incontinence treatment" with responses ranging from 1= "Very much better" to 7= "Very much worse." The PGI-S is a single item:; "Circle the one number that best describes how your urinary tract condition is now" with responses ranging from 1 = "Normal" to 4 "Severe".
Time frame: 6 Months
Optimal Outcome of Treatment at 3 Months
Composite measure defined as "much better" or "very much better" om PGI-I and "normal" or "mild" on PGI-S.
