Population: This outcome is analyzed in randomized participants who completed the visit at this time point, or who were failures prior to the time point. Excluded from the analyses are prior dropouts who had not yet met the failure criteria. The original and updated versions of anatomic failure could have different denominators for the same time point because a prior anatomic failure means the patient is assigned a failure in all subsequent visits regardless of whether the patient had completed the visits.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 months

Population: This outcome is analyzed in randomized participants who completed the visit at this time point, or who were failures prior to the time point. Excluded from the analyses are prior dropouts who had not yet met the failure criteria.

Failure is indicated by a score of 3 or greater on the Incontinence Severity Index (formerly called Hunskaar). The score is calculated as the product of the answers to two incontinence-related questions resulting in a range from 0 to 12 (higher scores indicating more severe symptoms). A score of 3 or greater corresponds to a severity classification of moderate, severe, or very severe.
