sensitivity and specificity of international prostate symptom score (ipss) for the screening of iranian patients with prostate cancer

we assessed the lower urinary tract symptoms (luts) in prostatic cancer patients and investigated the sensitivity and specificity of international prostate symptom score (ipss) in the screening of these patients. a total number of 132 prostatic cancer patients as the case group who were confirmed by the pathologists and 101 noncancerous men as the control group, aged 50 or older, responded to a...

Optimizing individual treatment outcomes in men with lower urinary tract symptoms using storage subscale score/total International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) as a new IPSS ratio.

BACKGROUND/AIM To evaluate the effects of the storage/total International Prostate Symptom Score (s/T) ratio on the selection and success of medical therapy in men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 54 men (>45 years of age) with moderate or severe LUTS were divided into 2 groups according to the s/T ratio: Group 1 at <0.43 and Group 2 at >0.43. Tamsulo...

Assessment of lower urinary symptom flare with overactive bladder symptom score and International Prostate Symptom Score in patients treated with iodine-125 implant brachytherapy: long-term follow-up experience at a single institute

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined use of the overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) as an assessment tool for urinary symptom flare after iodine-125 (125I) implant brachytherapy. The association between urinary symptom flare and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) bounce was investigated. METHODS Changes in the IPSS and...
