3 DVD: 3-day voiding diary; DUF: daytime urinary frequency; NUF: night-time urinary frequency; UF/24 h: 24-hour urinary frequency (total number of episodes/24 hours); SUI: stress urinary frequency; UV: urinary volume; UUI: urge urinary frequency. values: Student’s t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test. Change: mean difference or Hodges-Lehman estimator of location shift. This variable was not reported in the 6-month visit in any of the evaluable cases. For this reason, no statistical comparisons were performed.
