Participants
A prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) was undertaken via Czech tertiary referral at the Brno University Hospital Urogynecology Center from January 2015 thru December 2019. This non-blinded study involved Caucasian (central European) women with pure urodynamic SUI confirmed during cystometry by a positive standardized cough stress test (CST) with urinary bladder filling of 250 ml in lithotomy position. Patients with urgency or predominant urgency incontinence, intrinsic sphincter deficiency (MUCP<20 cmH2O), and pelvic organ prolapse (POP-Q>2) were excluded from the study. Further exclusion criteria were previous SUI surgery or pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery and presence of other pelvic organ pathology. Study was approved by our university hospital Ethical Review Board. Written informed consent for study enrollment was collected from all participants. The study was supported by the National Ministry of Health (Project Number FNBr65269705). The funder (through their peer review and funding board review process) approved the study proposal but had no role in the collection, analysis, or interpretation of data, or writing of the report.
