Change From Baseline to End of Treatment (Final Visit) in Mean Number of Incontinence Episodes Per 24 Hours
The average number of incontinence episodes (any involuntary leakage of urine) per day was derived from the number of incontinence episodes recorded by the patient in a micturition diary for 3-days before the Baseline and Week 12 clinic visits. Least Squares (LS) Means were generated from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment group, gender, and geographic region as fixed factors and baseline as a covariate.
