Self-management interventions for men with lower urinary tract symptoms: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Introduction
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) significantly impact men's quality of life and can cause bothersome symptoms, which often interfere with daily functioning and contribute to psychological distress. While pharmacological and surgical treatments are effective, they can have side effects, and not all men require or desire these interventions. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of self-management interventions on symptom severity.
Methods
We conducted a systematic search across multiple databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library, from inception to August 2024. We identified randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing self-management interventions for LUTS in men. Studies were evaluated for quality and analyzed for outcomes on BPH Impact Index, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and QoL. Publication bias and heterogeneity were examined through LFK indices, sensitivity analyses, and Doi plots.
Results
Self-management significantly reduced the BPH Impact Index at 3 months (SMD: -0.73; p = 0.0003) and 6 months (SMD: -0.95; p = 0.05), though publication bias was indicated. The IPSS decreased significantly at 3 months (MD: -5.52; p < 0.01), 6 months (MD: -5.50; p = 0.002), and 12 months (MD: -3.51; p = 0.01). Quality of life also improved at 6 and 12 months (SMD: -0.34, p = 0.002, and SMD: -0.30, p < 0.01, respectively). Sensitivity analysis confirmed the consistency of these findings after adjusting for study heterogeneity.
Conclusion
Our findings suggest that self-management interventions provide a significant benefit in reducing LUTS severity and enhancing quality of life in men.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics provides a medium for the publication of papers from the fields of experimental gerontology and clinical and social geriatrics. The principal aim of the journal is to facilitate the exchange of information between specialists in these three fields of gerontological research. Experimental papers dealing with the basic mechanisms of aging at molecular, cellular, tissue or organ levels will be published.
Clinical papers will be accepted if they provide sufficiently new information or are of fundamental importance for the knowledge of human aging. Purely descriptive clinical papers will be accepted only if the results permit further interpretation. Papers dealing with anti-aging pharmacological preparations in humans are welcome. Papers on the social aspects of geriatrics will be accepted if they are of general interest regarding the epidemiology of aging and the efficiency and working methods of the social organizations for the health care of the elderly.
