Notes: *Patients in the safety set were excluded from the full analysis set for one or more reasons (ie, they did not have a baseline or ≥1 post-baseline micturition assessment or they did not receive double-blind study medication). Pre-existing hypertension was based on baseline vitals and medical history. Within the past 12 months.
