Correlation between the female pelvic floor biomechanical parameters and the severity of stress urinary incontinence

Table 4 Examine the difference of selected VTI parameters between MESA subgroups of SUI patients

VTI parameter				mild SUI according to the MESA SUI score (mean ± SD)	moderate & severe SUI according to the MESA SUI score (mean ± SD)	P
No.	Description	Interpretation	Units	mild SUI according to the MESA SUI score (mean ± SD)		P
49	Displacement of the maximum pressure peak in the anterior compartment	Mobility of anterior structures at reflex muscle contraction	mm	14.06 ± 5.16	7.54 ± 7.46	0.04

To examine the difference between the subgroups of selected VTI parameters in mild vs. moderate & severe SUI. To assess the severity of incontinence, the total score of stress (27) are divided into third degrees: scores 1 to 9 are assigned as mild, 10 to 18 moderate, and 19 to 27 as severe. Only that parameter is shown for which a significant difference could be found (P < 0,05)
