Abstract

Background: Uroflowmetry study is a non-invasive, simple, and inexpensive preliminary the diagnostic tool of various lower urinary tract diseases like benign prostatic hyperplasia, stricture the urethra, neurogenic bladder, etc. American Urological Association Symptom Score is the single a most important tool used in the evaluation of patients with Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and is recommended for all patients before initiation of therapy. Objectives: To evaluate lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of Benign Enlargement of Prostate by Uroflowmetry study, measuring American Urological Symptom Score, Quality of life, and to find out correlation among Uroflowmetry parameters, age. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study to evaluate 13 patients with lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign enlargement of the prostate by performing a Uroflowmetry test. We also measured the level of symptoms by American Urological Association Symptom Score and quality of life of age group 48 to 71 years. Selected patients have gone under Uroflowmetry study recorded American Urological Association Symptom Score and quality of life by few questionnaires. Results: The mean age of the patients was 58.92+/-6.93 SD year. The mean maximum flow rate and average flow rate were found to be 16.44 and 6.99 ml/sec respectively. Voiding time and voided volume of urine was 74.53+/-44.94 SD sec, and 412.38+/- 255.66 SD ml respectively. The maximum flow rate and age were negatively correlated(R=-0.551). Time of maximum flow rate and amount of voided urine was strong positively correlated(R=0.8717, p<0.05). Voiding time and voided volume were positively correlated (p<0.05).Regarding American Urological Association Symptom Score, 53.85% of patients had severe symptoms. The mean American Urological Association Symptom Score of severe and moderate symptomatic patients were 25.14+/-3.48 SD, and 14.67+/-3.77 SD respectively. For patients of Uroflowmetry studied, 76.92% had prolonged voiding time, and 23% had normal voiding time in comparison with a normal nomogram.14 Conclusions: The uroflowmetry test and American Urological Association Symptom Score are helpful for preliminary evaluation of lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign enlargement of the prostate and for further treatment. Prolong voiding time and decrease maximum flow rate can give clues for outflow obstruction for benign enlargement of the prostate. KYAMC Journal Vol. 13, No. 01, April 2022: 45-49
用尿流法和美国泌尿学会症状评分评价提示前列腺良性增大的下尿路症状
背景:尿流法研究是一种无创、简单、廉价的下尿路疾病如良性前列腺增生、尿道狭窄、神经源性膀胱等的初步诊断工具。美国泌尿学会症状评分是评估良性前列腺增生(BPH)患者最重要的工具,建议所有患者在开始治疗前进行评分。目的:通过尿流法研究、美国泌尿学症状评分、生活质量评价提示前列腺良性增大的下尿路症状,并探讨尿流法参数与年龄的相关性。材料和方法:这是一项前瞻性研究,通过尿流法检查评估13例提示前列腺良性肿大的下尿路症状的患者。我们还采用美国泌尿协会症状评分和48 ~ 71岁年龄组的生活质量来测量症状水平。选取患者行尿流仪研究,用少量问卷记录美国泌尿学会症状评分和生活质量。结果:患者平均年龄58.92+/-6.93 SD年。平均最大流速为16.44 ml/s,平均流速为6.99 ml/s。排尿时间为74.53+/-44.94 SD sec,排尿量为412.38+/- 255.66 SD ml。最大流量与年龄呈负相关(R=-0.551)。最大尿流量时间与排尿量呈正相关(R=0.8717, p<0.05)。排尿时间与排尿量呈正相关(p<0.05)。在美国泌尿协会症状评分中,53.85%的患者有严重症状。重度和中度症状患者的平均American Urological Association Symptom Score分别为25.14+/-3.48 SD和14.67+/-3.77 SD。在尿流术研究的患者中,76.92%的患者排尿时间延长,23%的患者排尿时间正常。14结论:尿流量测定和美国泌尿协会症状评分有助于初步评估提示前列腺良性肿大的下尿路症状和进一步治疗。延长排尿时间,降低排尿最大流速,可提示良性前列腺增生的流出物梗阻。KYAMC学报第13卷第01期,2022年4月:45-49
