The difference in proportion of expected urinary incontinence between the experimental and control groups at the end of pregnancy was 28 percentage points (43% versus 71%, respectively).;The difference in proportion of observed UI between the experimental and control groups at the end of pregnancy was 25,3 percentage points (29.2% versus 54.5%, respectively).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1) Interference of urinary incontinence in the pregnant women's life, assessed by International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) score (from 0 to 21).;1) The mean of the ICIQ-SF score in the experimental group decreased from 8.6 to 6.8. In the control group, the mean ICIQ-SF score increased from 7.6 to 9.3.;2) Pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS), assessed by perineometry, in centimeters of water, using the perineometer Peritron™.;2) The mean of the PFMS in the experimental group increased from 25.8 to 29.1 cmH2O. In the control group, the mean pf the PFMS decreased from 25.7 cm H2O to 23.7 cm H2O.
