The International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) is an important tool for evaluation and research in benign prostatic hyperplasia related lower urinary tract symptoms in men. It has also been validated in many languages. This article discusses issues observed in the symptoms domains, as well as issues related to the intensity of the numeracy in the scoring parameters. The objectives of this article are to analyse what could be improved on the IPSS questionnaire and to discuss a proposal for amendments. Such amendments include putting nocturia as the first question, modifying other questions, allowing maximum subjectivity for the patient, modifying the scoring system to reduce intense numeracy for the patient and adding a new section on fluid intake and medication. This would hopefully simplify the questionnaire for patients, improve its quality as well as improve communication between patients, family physicians and urologists. Level of evidence: Not applicable for this multicentre audit.

This study examines the assumptions underlying the scoring system of the Arizona Articulation Proficiency Scale: Revised. Twenty-one children between the ages of four years two months and six years 11 months were administered the Arizona Articulation Proficiency Scale: Revised and the Screening Deep Test of Articulation. The subjects' performance on the two tests was compared for the phones: [s], [l], [r], [t∫], [θ], [∫], [k], [f], and [t]. Results suggested that 1) the production of most sounds in only two contexts does not necessarily reflect the accuracy of production of those sounds in other contexts, and 2) for the sounds tested, the weightings assigned on the basis of their frequency of occurrence rather than the frequency with which they were misarticulated overestimated the extent of many articulation errors.
