A pilot study to determine predictors of behavioral treatment completion for urinary incontinence.
Although a program of pelvic floor muscle exercises augmented with biofeedback is a safe, efficacious way to treat urinary incontinence, many patients do not finish the program. The only significant predictor of treatment completion in one outpatient referral clinic for urinary incontinence was keeping a 7-day bladder diary.
