However, long-term reports on patient satisfaction are still scarce. This study describes the outcome of women treated with Mini-Arc at a mean follow-up of 45 months. In a previous report on 105 women with 15-month mean follow-up, 84 (80%) were found cured and 12 (11%) improved. Now, with a mean follow-up of 45 months, cured\/improved patients were reassessed by telephone and completed Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I), Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S), rated their improvement in a 0\u2013100 scale, and answered if they would recommend the procedure. At 45-month follow-up, 73 women cured\/improved were available for evaluation. Over 80% of the cured patients rated the improvement of SUI by the PGI-I as \u201cvery much better\u201d or \u201cmuch better,\u201d reported their urinary tract condition to be \u201cnormal\u201d on PGI-S, and described their improvement &gt;70%. Ninety percent would recommend this procedure to a friend. The improved-patient population is very small <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mo stretchy=\"false\">(<\/mml:mo><mml:mi>n<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>7<\/mml:mn><mml:mo stretchy=\"false\">)<\/mml:mo><\/mml:math>.
