ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic status of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in urological outpatients.Methods The survey was conducted at 57 urological clinics in 14 cities during the period of October-December 2011.All surveyed male outpatients were inquired about whether there was a history of LUTS/BPH or not.Then eligible patients received a more detailed questionnaire for LUTS.Results Among a total of 6 200 male outpatients,47.4% (n =2 940) had a history of LUTS/BPH.The rate for LUTS was 30.0% (n =882) in patients aged under 40 years and 60.0% (n =1 764) in those aged over 60 years.The major complains included frequency (72.0%),urgency (53.0%) and nocturia (48.0%).At a rate of 63.0%,the patients aged 71-80 years came more to a hospital for nocturia than 61-70 years (52.0%) and 51-60 years (49.0%).The average International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was 14.98 (6-35) and 59.0% patients had moderate symptoms and 26.0% severe symptoms.The average score of quality-of-life was 4.12 (1-6) points.And the average overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) was 5.78 (3-15) points and 56.0% patients had moderate overactive bladder (OAB) and 3.0% severe OAB.Urinalysis was largely normal.The main causes for LUTS included OAB (25.2%),BPH and OAB (20.4%),BPH (20.2%),prostatis (20.2%) and urinary infection (11.8%).Conclusions LUTS and BPH are common in urological outpatients.And the incidence is rising yearly.Clinical examinations and drug regimens should be timely adjusted according to the etiology.And patient education should be strengthened at the same time.
