For incontinence frequency outcomes, absolute change is presented as change in the number of incontinence episodes per day, and percent change is presented as percent change from baseline. For incontinence quality of life measures outcomes, absolute change is presented as change in questionnaire scores, and percent change presented as percent change in scores from baseline. Least square mean estimates and confidence intervals were derived from analysis of covariance models, using multiple imputation to address missing data; models examining absolute change adjusted for baseline levels of outcomes.
