  1. RAIR: Rectoanal Inhibitory Reflex. *: Maximum Detrusor Pressure Average 47 ± 28.69 cmH2O. **: A p-value below 0.05 signifies statistical significance, as determined by Spearman’s correlation test. The correlation coefficient, rho (ρ), reveals the strength and direction of association between variables—values near 1 or -1 indicate strong relationships, either positive or negative, respectively. A value near 0 suggests a negligible association. Focus on statistically significant findings, particularly the RAIR’s correlation with detrusor pressure, to understand their clinical relevance in spina bifida
