Table 1

Characteristics of patients who were prescribed desmopressin. Data were taken from medical history and frequency-volume chart they filled before treatment start. They are divided into two groups according to nocturnal bladder capacity index (NBCi): increased NBCi (above 1.3) and normal NBCi (1.3 or less).
