The EPIC-CP is a health related quality of life measure for men following treatment for prostate cancer, wherein the urinary continence domain (maximum score = 12) assesses self-reported bother of urinary incontinence symptoms, with lower scores indicating better outcomes. * indicates a significant difference (p < 0.05) between groups at the relevant time points
