Clinical Use of the UPOINT Classification in Indian Patients with Chronic Prostatitis or Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Introduction: Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome is a debilitating condition that is one of the most common reasons for visits to Urologists among male patients under the age of 50. Recently, a phenotypic method of classification and assessment of the disease has been introduced and validated. However, its use has not been studied in an Indian population so far. Materials and Methods: Male patients with symptoms and signs suggestive of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) attending a single out-patient clinic at a tertiary-care hospital were prospectively evaluated using the NIH-CPSI score and UPOINT domains. Data from the evaluation was collated and analysed. Results: A total of 30 patients who met the criteria for CP/CPPS were evaluated. Average age of the patients was 34.37 years. The positive domains were Urinary (27), Psychosocial (18), Organ-specific (13), Infection (8), Neurological/Systemic (5), Tenderness (4). Patients had an average IPSS score of (9.4). In the NIH-CPSI scores, the pain score average was (11.37), urinary scores were (6.03), and the Quality of Life domain scores were (7.2). The average NIH-CPSI score was 24.93. Discussion: This study is probably the first time the NIH-CPSI score and UPOINT phenotype system has been studied in an Indian population. It was seen that the UPOINT domains were useful in classifying the disease and directing multimodal treatment
