Patients were classified into high (G8 score\u2009\u2264\u200914) and low (G8 score\u2009&gt;\u200914) frailty groups. Continence recovery, defined as the use of less than one pad per day, was assessed three months and one year postoperatively.

At three months, continence group was significantly younger and had a lower prevalence of diabetes, lower International Society of Urological Pathology grade, lower pathological T stage, higher nerve-sparing rate, and lower frailty than incontinence group. At one year, patients who recovered continence were younger and had a higher nerve-sparing rate and lower frailty. Multivariable analysis showed age (3-month odds ratio (OR) 0.973, 1-year OR 0.947), nerve-sparing (3-month OR 2.39, 1-year OR 1.77), and low frailty (3-month OR 1.56, 1-year OR 1.75) as significant factors affecting continence recovery (all\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
