Functional Measures of Anorectal Manometry	Urgency FI Group, n = 21	Passive FI Group, n = 25	P
Anal mean resting pressure, mm Hg	60 (4)	49 (3)	0.03*
Anal median squeeze pressure, mm Hg	78 (46–150)	60 (40–103)	0.05
Anal maximum squeeze pressure, mm Hg	103 (51–210)	90 (47–194)	0.28
Anal mean squeeze duration, s	5 (2–19)	3 (1–18)	0.05
Rectal first sensation capacity, mL	30 (10–60)	30 (10–120)	0.41
Rectal normal urge capacity, mL	55 (20–120)	60 (30–140)	0.41
Rectal strong urge capacity, mL	90 (40–150)	90 (40–180)	0.20
Rectal maximum tolerated volume, mL	130 (50–180)	120 (50–180)	0.85

Data are mean (standard deviation) or median (range).

P values refer to comparison of measures between groups using Student t test or Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test for continuous variables as appropriate.

^*Significant difference in questionnaires scores between groups by Student t test or Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test (P < 0.05).
