Abstract: Objective: To compare the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and novel Visual Prostate Symptom Score (VPSS) in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), to correlate scores with uroflowmetry and prostate volume and assess patient perceptions regarding pain prior to, and after prostate biopsy.

“…This finding is supported by the findings by Afriansyah and colleagues, 7 who reported that 99 of 103 respondents (96%), all of whom were illiterate, required assistance when completing the IPSS. This finding is also consistent with the study by Els and coworkers, 19 who reported that VPSS was more easily completed by men who were illiterate or had less formal education. Significant correlations between VPSS and IPSS have been identified in previous studies.…”

“…The VPSS and IPSS required 5 or 6 minutes or less to complete; this finding is similar to a previous study 10. As expected, due to the simplicity of the questionnaire, the response time was shorter for VPSS 19. Time for response to the IPSS questionnaire varies according to the educational level of the patient; in contrast, response time for VPSS (a simpler instrument with fewer items) is less variable 8.…”

The VPSS has seen increasing study in recent years, with good correlation to the IPSS demonstrated in countries including Thailand, 59 India, 60 Turkey, 61 Indonesia, 62 Uganda, 63 South Africa 64 and South Korea 65 …”

“… The IPSS score, TCM syndrome score, and VAS score were compared before and after treatment between the two groups. The clinical symptoms were assessed using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) [ 8 ], with a total score of 35 points. The higher the score, the more severe the clinical symptoms.…”
