Comparison of UWIN score vs international prostatic symptom score in patients with LUTS
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), one of the most common diseases of aging men. The AUA Symptom Index or the identical IPSS is recommended for symptom assessment in each patient presenting with BPH. To decrease the burden of AUA-SS on respondents and clinicians we developed a new, decreased symptom questionnaire called UWIN. In this study we compared the UWIN score vs IPSS score in patient with LUTS, evaluated and correlated the outcome of therapy with UWIN and IPSS. The average age of the study population was 60.4 years. The pre-treatment IPSS and UWIN score were in good agreement for the 300 participants. Similarly the post treatment IPSS and UWIN score also in good agreement. The Q max was also compared with the UWIN score and was found to be statistically significant. Similarly was the case with post treatment Q max and UWIN score.
