LUTS=Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms; SD=standard deviation; IQR=interquartile range defined as the 75th minus the 25th percentile.

^*P value from two-tailed paired samples t-test (all others from two-tailed Wilcoxon signed rank test)

The UCLA Activity Score is an ordinal self-report scale from 1 (No activity) to 10 (Regularly participates in high impact activity)

LUTS Tool scores were obtained by summing the frequency of LUTS (0–5) within each respective domain. The number of component items summed for each scale is: Storage Symptom 5 (worst score = 25), Storage Bother 4 (worst score = 20), Voiding Symptom 8 (worst score = 40), Voiding bother 7 (worst score = 35).
