Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Prevalence of urinary incontinence

  The participant will be asked to fill out the urinary symptom profile questionnaire (USP). This questionnaire contains 13 items to assess stress urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence and dysuria. Each question is scored from 0 to 3 providing a maximal score of 9, 21 and 9 for stress urinary incontinence, urge urinary incontinence and dysuria respectively. Women diagnosed with both stress and urge urinary incontinence by the USP were classified as having mixed urinary incontinence.
