SUI, stress urinary incontinence; UUI, urge urinary incontinence; LS mean, least squares mean; CI, confidence interval.
Notation:
– remained statistically significant after Bonferroni correction.
only those with p < 0.05 shown
Data are weighted using clinic weights.
Analyses are adjusted for age (continuous), body mass index (continuous), vaginal parity (0, 1–2, ≥3), and diabetes.
Excluded from this table are 7 women with ‘other’ incontinent symptoms, 29 women who demonstrated SUI on Valsalva only, and 22 women who reported symptoms of SUI but did not demonstrate SUI in the clinic.
