Abstract: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to BPH frequently occur in elderly men. Indonesian version of International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS-Ina) is commonly used in the hospitals in Indonesia, including Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital in Manado. However, there is still no study about IPSS-Ina validation in Manado. This study was perfomed by giving IPSS-Ina questionnaire to two sample groups, the treatment and the control groups. IPSS validation was tested by correlating the IPSS score and quality of life score. Reliability of IPSS-Ina was also tested by using internal consistancy test and test-retest to the two groups. There were 50 patients that fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria, divided into the two groups as mentioned before. The oldest patients was 67 years in the treatment group, and the youngest one was 21 years in the control group. The Pearson correlation test showed that all correlations had P values <0.05, therefore, all 8 questions in the IPSS-Ina used in patients not yet treated with TURP were valid. The Cronbach test showed that the 8 questions had realibility of 0.93, which meant that the 8 questions translated into Indonesian had very high consistancy. The t test of treatment group before and after TURP resulted in t= 11.221 and a P value <0.001. Conclusion: IPSS-Ina has very good validation and reliability to people in Manado. Therefore, it has similar purpose, intention, and function to WHO version, and it has sensitivity to the changes of symptoms and signs of BPH patients before and after TURP.Keywords: IPSS, LUTS, validation, BPHAbstrak: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) akibat BPH sering terjadi pada laki-laki usia lanjut. International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) versi bahasa Indonesia sudah banyak digunakan di berbagai rumah sakit di Indonesia, termasuk RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memvalidasi IPSS versi bahasa Indonesia di Manado. Penelitian dilakukan dengan memberikan kuesioner IPSS versi bahasa Indonesia (IPSS-Ina) kepada dua kelompok subyek, yaitu kelompok uji dan kontrol. Validasi IPSS diuji dengan mengorelasikan hasil skor IPSS yang didapat dengan skor kualitas hidup (Quality of Life). Reliabilitas IPSS-Ina diuji melalui dua cara yaitu dengan uji konsistensi internal dan uji test-retest pada kelompok subyek. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan 50 pasien yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi penelitian, dibagi menjadi dua kelompok (uji dan control). Usia tertinggi 67 tahun pada kelompok uji, dan terendah 21 tahun pada kelompok kontrol. Hasil uji korelasi Pearson mendapatkan semua nilai korelasi memiliki nilai P <0,05, jadi ke 8 pertanyan yang terdapat dalam IPSS-Ina yang digunakan pada pasien yang belum mendapatkan terapi TURP ialah valid. Hasil uji Cronbach memperlihatkan ke 8 pertanyaan ini memiliki reliabiltas sebesar 0,93, yang berarti ke 8 pertanyaan skoring BPH dari WHO yang diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Indonesia memiliki konsisten yang sangat tinggi. Hasil uji t pada kelompok uji sebelum dan setelah menjalani tindakan TURP mem-peroleh t= 11,221 dengan P <0,001. Simpulan: IPSS versi bahasa Indonesia terbukti memiliki validitas dan reliabilitas yang sangat baik terhadap masyarakat di Manado, sehingga dapat dijamin memiliki tujuan, maksud, serta fungsi yang sama dengan versi WHO, serta memiliki sensitivitas terhadap perubahan gejala pada penderita BPH dari sebelum dan setelah menjalani TURP.Kata kunci: IPSS, LUTS, validasi, BPH

Abstract Background This study aims to assess the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms, and to assess predictors of impaired quality of life among Egyptian adults complain of lower urinary tract symptoms. Methods An observational cross-sectional research was done using an online anonymous poll survey. The survey was implemented through sharing on different social media applications. The survey was posted from June 1, 2020, to June 10, 2020. The overall communities of the Egyptian adults who satisfied the incorporation rules and consented to take an interest in the research were incorporated using convenience and snowball collecting methods (188 adults). A semi-structured questionnaire on socio-demographic characteristics and Arabic Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) short forms were used. Results Approximately 220 Egyptian adults shared in the research but only 188 fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria. Approximately 92% of them had at least one symptom of lower urinary tract manifestations. Irritative symptoms presented in 65 (85.5%) of males and 102 (91.1%) of females. Stress symptoms presented in 44 (57.9%) of males and 63 (56.2%) of females with higher statistically significant mean of stress symptoms. Obstruction/discomfort symptoms presented in 51 (67.1%) of males, and 77 (68.8%) of females. Seeking help and duration of the urological problem were statistically significant independent positive predictors of UDI-6-total. The Irritative score, obstruction/discomfort score, and duration of the urological problem were statistically significant independent positive predictors of IIQ-7-total. Conclusions Urological problems are common and have an impact on the quality of life in various domains of physical activity, social relationships, travel, and emotional health.

Objective: Double-J stent is a common tool used in urological procedures that is inserted for 2–6 weeks, but it may induce abdominal and flank pain, incontinence and irritative urinary symptoms. Alleviation of such symptoms would be useful to improve the patients’ quality of life. Accordingly, in this study, the efficacy of cystone versus tamsulosin in the treatment of double-J stent-related lower urinary tract symptoms was determined. Materials and methods: In this randomised clinical trial, 128 patients who required double-J stent insertion after transureteral lithotripsy during 2018–2019 were enrolled. They were randomly assigned to receive either cystone, tamsulosin, both, or placebo. The international prostate symptom score and visual analogue score data were recorded at baseline, after 2 and 4 weeks across the groups. Results: The international prostate symptom score and visual analogue score factors were statistically different across the case groups receiving cystone, tamsulosin and both drugs versus placebo ( P=0.001). Two weeks after drug administration, the visual analogue score and international prostate symptom score were not statistically different in the tamsulosin, cystone and dual therapy groups; however, after 4 weeks the cystone group had the lowest symptoms. Conclusion: Both tamsulosin and cystone are efficient drugs which would relieve stent-related lower urinary tract symptoms. The administration of cystone with or without tamsulosin for 4 weeks may have the best result in reducing the visual analogue score and international prostate symptom score. Level of evidence: Level I, 1b, therapeutic study, randomised controlled trial

Background/Aim. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a pathological process, which is one of the most common causes of so-called lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). LUTS affect many aspects of daily activities and almost all domains of health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of operative treatment of BPH using standard clinical diagnostic procedures and effects on LUTS using the symptom-score validated to Serbian language as well as implications on HRQoL. Methods. Seventy-four patients underwent surgical treatment for BPH. The study protocol included objective and subjective parameters of the following sets of variables measured before and after the surgery: voiding and incontinence symptoms were measured using the International Continence Society male Short Form (ICS male SF) questionnaire, HRQoL was measured using the SF-36 questionnaire along with standard clinical measurement of residual urine and urine flow. Results. After the surgery, all patients had decrease of voiding scores (13.5 ? 3.3 before and 1.5 ? 1.4 after surgery) and incontinence symptoms (5.7 ? 3.9 before and 0.6 ? 0.8 after surgery) in comparison to period before operative treatment. Significant improvements in all dimensions of HRQoL were noticed, particularly in emotional health. Although mental and physical total scores were significantly better than prior to the surgery, the level of improvement of voiding and incontinence scores were significantly correlated only with the level of improvement of mental score. Conclusion. After BPH surgery, patients are likely to have normal voiding symptoms, barely some involuntary control over urination and overll better HRQoL, particularly in emotional domain.
