Correlation of Patient Perception of Pad Use with Objective Degree of Incontinence Measured by Pad Test in Men with Post-Prostatectomy Incontinence: The SUFU Pad Test Study

Abstract

Patients accurately described the number, size and degree of wetness of pads collected during a 24-hour pad test. These values correlated well with actual urine loss. The single question, "To what extent does urine loss affect your quality of life?" separated men into distinct categories.
