Abstract

We evaluated linguistic validity of Japanese translations of IPSS and BII, and proposed a valid Japanese version of these questionnaires.

Practical Index of Urinary Incontinence Following Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate: A Case-Series Study of the 24-Hour Pad Test Immediately after Catheter Removal

“…The subjective symptom evaluation incorporated results from the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), IPSS-QOL [20,21], and Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) questionnaires [22]. The IPSS comprises 7 questions related to voiding symptoms and filling symptoms, with possible total scores of 0-35 (asymptomatic to very symptomatic).…”

“…The IPSS comprises 7 questions related to voiding symptoms and filling symptoms, with possible total scores of 0-35 (asymptomatic to very symptomatic). The IPSS-QOL comprises a questionnaire that determines the patient's satisfaction with his/her current urination status, with possible scores of 0-6 (highly satisfied to very unsatisfied) [20,21]. The OABSS, which is used to evaluate overactive bladder symptoms, comprises 4 questions regarding urgency, urinary frequency, and urgency incontinence, with possible total scores of 0-15 (mild to severe) [22].…”

“…To examine the results of questionnaires regarding the preoperative urination condition, subjects were divided as those without catheterization who provided answers to a questionnaire about urination status, and those with catheterization at the time of surgery or self-catheterization before the examination. Only patients for whom the maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) information from preoperative uroflowmetry were available at the time of surgery, who had completed the IPSS [20,21] and OABSS [22], and who had received the total laser energy dose were subject to evaluation. Fisher's exact test was used to compare the occurrence of complications between patients with and without catheterization at the time of surgery.…”

Differences between bothersome and non‐bothersome night‐time frequency

“…The questionnaire included questions on: gender, age, height and weight, occupation, the International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS), 11,12 the overall incontinence score in the International Consultation of Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF), 13,14 the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), 15,16 the Medical Outcome Study Short-Form 8 (SF-8), 17 cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and on the medical history of eight diseases including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cerebral vascular disease (stroke; cerebral infarction plus cerebral hemorrhage), arrhythmia, coronary artery disease (myocardial infarction plus angina pectoris), renal disease, lung disease, and malignant disease. Night-time urinary frequency was assessed by the seventh score of the I-PSS.…”

567 Eviprostat has an identical effect compared to pollen extract (Cernilton) in patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome: A randomized, prospective study

“…The significance, objectives, and methods of this clinical study were fully explained to the patients, and their voluntary written informed consent was obtained. The patients' subjective symptoms were evaluated using NIH-CPSI (Japanese version) and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) (Japanese version) [17,18].…”
