Methods RCT of TVT‐O versus TOT (Monarc)
Participants 120 women with SUI (31) and MUI (89)
Inclusion criteria: women with SUI, or MUI, with SUI as the predominant symptom
Exclusion criteria: MUI with predominant UUI
Performed under local anaesthesia
Mean age years (SD): 52.6 (6.8)
Interventions Group A: TVT‐O (n = 60)
Group B: TOT (n = 60)
Outcomes
  • Objective cure rates: negative pad test

  • Subjective cure rates: absence of reported SUI

  • Post operative voiding difficulties

  • Tape erosion

  • Duration of operation

Notes Follow‐up 3 months
All women attended for follow‐up
Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Low risk Quote: "Before the beginning of the study, the computer‐generated list of 120 random numbers (from one to 120) was made for two groups (60 random numbers for each group, optimum allocation ratio 1)"
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Unclear risk Quote: "the consecutive study numbers were given after admission, and based on this admission number, either inside‐out or outside‐in procedure was selected later in the OR according to a computer‐ generated list of random number"
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) 
 All outcomes Unclear risk No information
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) 
 All outcomes Unclear risk No information
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk All data/information accounted for at follow‐up
