Results of the Randomized Controlled Trial by Richter et al29 Reporting Satisfaction With Treatment in Patients With Stress Urinary Incontinence Treated With a Pessary or Pelvic Floor Muscle Therapya

Comparison Satisfaction Results
Pessary (n = 146)
PFMT (n = 149)
Satisfaction with treatment (PSQ) (3 mo) Pessary: 94/146
PFMT: 110/149, RR = 0.87 (95% CI 0.75 to 1.02)
  Satisfaction with treatment (PSQ) (12 mo) Pessary: 75/46
PFMT: 79/149, RR = 0.97 (95% CI 0.78 to 1.21)
Pessary (n = 146)
Pessary + PFMT (n = 150)
Satisfaction with treatment (PSQ) (3 mo) Pessary: 94/146
Pessary + PFMT: 118/150, RR = 0.82 (95% CI 0.71 to 0.95)
  Satisfaction with treatment (PSQ) (12 mo) Pessary: 75/146
Pessary + PFMT: 81/150, RR = 0.95 (95% CI 0.77 to 1.18)
Pessary + PFMT (n = 150)
PFMT (n = 146)
Satisfaction with treatment (PSQ) (3 mo) Pessary + PFMT: 118/150
PFMT: 110/146, RR = 0.82 (95% CI 0.54 to 1.23)
  Satisfaction with treatment (PSQ) (12 mo) Pessary + PFMT: 81/150
PFMT: 79/146, RR = 1.15 (95% CI 0.92 to 1.44)
