“…Consequently, the final score might be between 0 and 35 (asymptomatic to very symptomatic). Patients are rated on their quality of life, from wonderful to terrible (0-6) [11]. Questions about urine symptoms include: incomplete emptying, frequency, intermittency, urgency, weak stream, straining, and nocturia.…”

“…Questions about urine symptoms include: incomplete emptying, frequency, intermittency, urgency, weak stream, straining, and nocturia. The IPSS classifies symptoms as follows: Mild (symptom score 1-7), Moderate (symptom score [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], and Severe (symptom score range [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35].…”

“…Additionally determined was the average carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). To compare the clinical characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors, and mean carotid IMT, patients were divided into three IPSS categories: mild symptom group (Score range 1-7), moderate symptom group (Score range [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], and severe symptom group (Score range [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. They were also divided into three prostatic volume grades: Grade I (26 cc -40 cc), Grade II (41 cc -60 cc), and Grade III (>60 cc) [13].…”

Objective: To assess the carotid intima-media thickness and cardiovascular risk factors in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Material and methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted over two years in 100 patients who presented with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). IPSS questionnaire was used to evaluate the symptomatology of BPH. Patients were examined for cardiovascular risk factors. All patients underwent echocardiographic examination for left ventricular function. A single experienced sonographer, blinded to all clinical information, assessed the common carotid artery.  Results: The patients mean age was 69.32 years. The mean BMI was 28.91 kg/m². Of the total mild symptom score cases, 75 % (N=6) cases had Grade I prostatomegaly (26 – 40 cc). 98.38 % (N=61) cases had Grade II prostatomegaly (41 – 60 cc), 93.33 % (N=28) cases had Grade III prostatomegaly (>60cc). A mean carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) of 0.56 mm was found in cases having mild IPSS scores (Score 1-7), 0.73 mm was found in cases having moderate IPSS score (Score 8-19), 0.92 mm was found in cases having severe IPSS scores (Score 20-35). Significant association was present between mean BMI, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking and mean Carotid IMT with IPSS as p-value was <0.05. Significant association was present between total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and prostate volume with p-value <0.0001. Conclusion: This study found that prostatic tissue had a strong relationship with carotid IMT and cardiovascular risk factors in BPH patients. These data suggest a possible link between carotid IMT and cardiovascular risk factors and BPH.

“…Urinary tract symptoms were assessed through the International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS), which is well validated and commonly used in clinical settings for rapid diagnosis and track of urinary tract symptoms [35][36][37]. I-PSS assesses the urinary tract symptoms experienced by PCa patients or survivors to track and suggest their medical management [35].…”

Psychosocial and Functional Predictors of Mental Disorder among Prostate Cancer Survivors: Informing Survivorship Care Programs with Evidence-Based Knowledge

et al. 2021

Recent research has revealed that prostate cancer (PCa) survivors are facing a silent epidemic of mental disorder. These findings are not surprising when the side effects of highly effective current treatment modalities are considered. Here, we assess the association between urinary function and quality of life indicators to mental disorder among survivors of PCa. This is a cross sectional examination of an analytical sample of 362 men with a history of PCa residing in the Maritimes who took a survey assessing social, physical and health-related quality of life indicators between 2017 and 2021. Mental disorder was assessed using Kessler’s Psychological Distress Scale (K-10). Predictor variables included emotional, functional, social/family and spiritual well-being, measured by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P), and urinary function was measured by International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). Multivariate logistic regression analysis evaluated the contribution of predictors while controlling for age, income, survivorship time (months) since diagnosis, relationship status and treatment modality. Mental disorder was identified among 15.8% of PCa survivors in this sample. High emotional (aOR = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.69–0.96) and spiritual well-being (aOR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.81–0.96) were protective factors against mental disorder. Men who screened positive for moderate to severe urinary tract symptoms had three times higher odds (aOR = 3.02, 95% CI: 1.10, 8.32) of screening positive for mental disorder. Men who were on active surveillance or radical prostatectomy with or without added treatment had higher (aOR = 5.87, 95% CI: 1.32–26.13 or aOR = 4.21, 95% CI: 1.07–16.51, respectively) odds of screening positive for mental disorder compared to men who received radiation treatment with or without hormonal therapy for their PCa diagnosis. Unmet emotional and spiritual needs, increased urinary problems and some forms of treatment (e.g., active surveillance or surgery) were associated with mental disorder among PCa survivors. The development of survivorship care programs and support systems that focus on the long-term effects of PCa treatments and the consequences of unmet psychosocial needs of patients during the survivorship journey are critically needed.
