Impact of Bowel Diary Completion and Education on Fecal Incontinence Severity
Completion of a bowel diary and receiving education on FI during the 4-week run-in period did not significantly affect symptom severity in women with FI. Only 6% of women became ineligible for participation following the run-in period, suggesting that, in a refractory population, a run-in period may have minimal effect.
