3 DVD: 3-day voiding diary; DUF: daytime urinary frequency; NUF: night-time urinary frequency; SD: standard deviation; SUI: stress urinary incontinence; UF/24 h: 24-hour urinary frequency (total number of episodes/24 hours); UV: urinary volume; UUI: urge urinary incontinence. values: Student’s t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test. Change: mean difference or Hodges-Lehman estimator of location shift.
