Figure 2

Kaplan-Meier survival of transanal irrigation. In this survival curve the endpoint was defined as patients’ discontinuing TAI therapy due to perceived ineffectiveness. 40 patients reached the endpoint with 62 (60.0%) censored at their current duration of use of TAI. The curve demonstrates that a significant proportion of the cohort continue with the therapy.
