Abstract

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to develop the Turkish version of the Core Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score (CLSS) and determine its psychometric properties in Turkish subjects.

Methods

A total of 428 subjects, 259 with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and 169 without any complaints, were included in the study. In addition, 40 subjects were included in the study for test-retest analysis. After the Turkish version of the CLSS was created, all patients underwent medical history, physical examination, complete urinalysis, urinary ultrasonography, and filled out a CLSS. In addition, men were asked to fill in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Male LUTS and National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index. Women completed the Bristol Female LUTS-Short Form and IPSS. The patients from the test-retest group were asked to fill out the CLSS two times at 2-week intervals.

Results

CLSS showed high internal consistency (Cronbach's α for men and women was 0.909 and 0.767, respectively). The test-retest reliability of CLSS was high for subdomains (intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.739-0.962). Scores of CLSS were significantly higher in the study group than the control group (P < 0.001). In men and women, it showed very strong convergent validity (P < 0.0001) with subdomain related to other questionnaires. In our confirmatory factor analysis, the original model of CLSS was found to be compatible.

Conclusions

The Turkish version of CLSS is a valid and reliable questionnaire to evaluate the symptoms and disorders of patients with LUTS.

土耳其语版核心下尿路症状评分的信度和效度

目的:本研究的目的是开发土耳其版本的核心下尿路症状评分(CLSS)，并确定其在土耳其受试者中的心理测量特性。方法共纳入428例患者，其中有下尿路症状者259例，无主诉者169例。此外，本研究还纳入了40名受试者进行重测分析。在土耳其版本的CLSS创建后，所有患者都进行了病史，体格检查，完整的尿液分析，尿超声检查，并填写了CLSS。此外，男性还被要求填写国际前列腺症状评分(IPSS)、国际尿失禁咨询问卷-男性LUTS和美国国立卫生研究院慢性前列腺炎症状指数。女性完成了布里斯托尔女性luts短表格和IPSS。重测组的患者被要求每两周填写两次CLSS。结果CLSS具有较高的内部一致性(男性和女性的Cronbach's α分别为0.909和0.767)。子域的重测信度较高(类内相关系数为0.739 ~ 0.962)。研究组的CLSS评分显著高于对照组(P < 0.001)。在男性和女性中，它显示出非常强的收敛效度(P < 0.0001)，子域与其他问卷相关。在我们的验证性因子分析中，发现CLSS的原始模型是兼容的。结论土耳其版CLSS是一份有效、可靠的评估LUTS患者症状和障碍的问卷。

期刊介绍： LUTS is designed for the timely communication of peer-reviewed studies which provides new clinical and basic science information to physicians and researchers in the field of neurourology, urodynamics and urogynecology. Contributions are reviewed and selected by a group of distinguished referees from around the world, some of whom constitute the journal''s Editorial Board. The journal covers both basic and clinical research on lower urinary tract dysfunctions (LUTD), such as overactive bladder (OAB), detrusor underactivity, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse (POP), painful bladder syndrome (PBS), as well as on other relevant conditions. Case reports are published only if new findings are provided. LUTS is an official journal of the Japanese Continence Society, the Korean Continence Society, and the Taiwanese Continence Society. Submission of papers from all countries are welcome. LUTS has been accepted into Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) with a 2011 Impact Factor.
