The MPCs were injected directly into the bladder neck. Symptoms were measured using pad weight tests (1-h and 3-day), baseline questionnaires (Urogenital Distress Inventory [UDI-6], Incontinence Impact Questionnaire [IIQ-7]), and self-reported accident frequencies.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Ten women aged 16-75 were included. For the 8 SUI subjects, there was a reduction in pad weight between pre- and post-treatment for the 1-h (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.0001) and 3-day (P\u2009=\u2009.0076) pad tests after adjusting for age, gravida, and body mass index. The reduction was observed by the 6-week post-treatment visit and remained relatively constant thereafter. There was no evidence of a difference among the 4 post-treatment pad weights for either the 1-h (P\u2009&amp;gt;\u2009.05) or the 3-day (P\u2009&amp;gt;\u2009.05) pad tests. Similarly, there was evidence of a reduction from pre- to post-treatment in UDI-6 (P\u2009=\u2009.0034), IIQ-7 (P\u2009=\u2009.0455), and the number of self-reported accidents (P\u2009=\u2009.0656). There was no evidence of regression during the post-treatment visits for UDI-6 (P\u2009&amp;gt;\u2009.5), IIQ-7 (P\u2009&amp;gt;\u2009.25), and the number of self-reported accidents (P\u2009&amp;gt;\u2009.25).
