The study aimed to retrieve and summarize the evidence related to pelvic floor rehabilitation management in females who experience SUI and provide guidance for healthcare workers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Following the 6S evidence resource pyramid model, two researchers searched the computer decision support system, guidelines networks, urological professional society websites, obstetrics and gynecology professional society websites, and related databases from top to bottom and collected the best clinical practice information books, clinical decision-making, recommendation practice, evidence summaries, guidelines, systematic reviews, and expert consensuses on the management of pelvic floor rehabilitation in females suffering SUI. The searches were carried out from database inception to September 2022.
