At 3 months, 90 of 144 (62.5%) were continent, while 54 of 144 (37.5%) were not. On multivariable analysis, prostate volume (OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.96-1.00) and pelvic floor endurance (OR 2.71, 95% CI 1.23-6.17) were significantly associated with being continent at 3 months. 56 of 76 (74%) men with good pelvic floor endurance were continent at 3…[Read more]
