The 24‐h pad test in the assessment of post‐prostatectomy incontinence: is there still a role for counting pads per day?
The PPD count shows a strong correlation with 24 h-PT throughout the first postoperative year after RP. Use of 0-1 pad/day effectively excluded moderate-to-severe UI, whereas ≥5 pads/day reliably identified severe UI. The PPD count is a practical follow-up tool, while 24 h-PT remains necessary for patients using 2-4 pads/day.
