TL;DR
Combination therapy had the greatest immediate efficacy in the management of female urinary incontinence regardless of urodynamic diagnosis, and results suggest that the specific treatment may not be as important as having a structured intervention program with education, counseling, and frequent patient contact.
Abstract
Combination therapy had the greatest immediate efficacy in the management of female urinary incontinence regardless of urodynamic diagnosis. However, each of the 3 interventions had similar effects 3 months after treatment. Results suggest that the specific treatment may not be as important as having a structured intervention program with education, counseling, and frequent patient contact.

92 Citations1986J. Andrew Fantl, W. Glenn Hurt +3 more
Comparative analysis of urethral axial data was done between 70 incontinent women with objective evidence of sphincteric incompetence and 24 continent women without it and assessment of the urethal axis was found to be not predictive of ureysral function.

91 Citations1988Richard C. Bump, William Copeland +2 more
Calculation of pressure transmission ratios, as opposed to declaring the stress profile positive or negative based on whole urethra/bladder pressure equalization with stress, enhances the utility of the dynamic urethral pressure profile and allows quantification of one of the several variable in the equation of stress urinary incontinence.
