We examined correlation between patient-reported pad use corresponding incontinence symptom scores (ICSmaleIS) ICSmaleSF questionnaires in patients who underwent retropubic RP. METHODS data were recorded prospectively basis additional questions concerning daytime nighttime before 3, 6, 12, 18 24 months Only with a minimum follow up 12 included. Based reported use, defined subgroups created correlated ICSmaleIS. Differences analyzed using two-sided Wilcoxon test Kruskal-Wallis test. RESULTS Of 896 (median 66 years) undergoing RP 03/04 08/09, 570 eligible for analysis. These filled 1159 at (n=463), (n=385) (n=311), respectively. Comparing two most common definitions revealed significant difference (p<0.0001) mean ICSmaleIS reporting no pads (1.71) only one safety night (2.76), However, there was strikingly higher night, respectively, due urinary loss (5.11) than aforementioned (p<0.0001). Furthermore, depended number loss. The 1.82 daytime, 5.13 pad, 8.03 10.66 more In latter patient's used during day positively night: pad/day (0.00 pads/night), (0.65 pads/day (1.13 pads/night) >2 (1.41 CONCLUSIONS demonstrates that allows accurate discrimination exhibiting various degrees incontinence. definition including patients, report appears not be valid method identifying completely preserved prostatectomy.
