Temperature predicts attendance at appointments for pelvic-floor muscle related dysfunction differently in publicly and privately funded appointments

Background: The current study examined how temperature affects attendance at psychological tele-support sessions for women undergoing treatment for pelvic-floor muscle (PFM) related symptoms. It compared this relationship between when the appointments were publicly-funded or privately offered without cost to the patient. This is the first study to compare attendance when both publicly-funded and privately-offered sessions were free.
