Table 1.

Selected patient-reported outcomes from the 10Q Function Survey. Results from three of the 10Q questions were combined in the first category in the table in order to represent the degree of external assistance needed in order to accomplish a bowel evacuation. The other two categories represent results from one individual question from the 10Q. For each category, a new binary response was created by lumping responses in order to qualitatively compare pre -and post-EAW results. For the purpose of the results in the last column, improvement was defined as either reduction in external assistance or reduction in bowel evacuation time.

Category	Frequency Reported	Pre-EAW	Post-EAW	Percent of Participants Improved
Enema, oral medication and/or manual digital stimulation needed for each bowel evacuation in the past week	Never to a few times	57%	63%	12%
	Most to every time	41%	35%
Average bowel evacuation time needed per bowel day during the past week	5 to 60 min	80%	92%	24%
	>1 to 3 h	18%	6%
Average bowel evacuation time needed in the past week	1 to 6 h	80%	92%	24%
	>6 to 8 h	16%	6%
