Note: All group comparisons were made using the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test. For the I-QOL totala, higher scores indicate greater quality of life, whereas for its subscalesb, higher scores indicate less ALB, PS and SE. For the ICIQ-LUTSqol overall scorec, higher scores denote increased impact on quality of life
