“…In the initial phase of study, all participants completed the questionnaires, including the Estonian version of national Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (nIH-CPSI) (18) and International Prostate Symptom Score (I--PSS) (9) for lower urinary tract symptoms.…”

“…According to lower urinary tract symptoms, the subjects were divided into four groups -without LUTS score (IPSS 0) and with mild (I--PSS score 1-7), moderate (I-PSS score [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], and severe (I-PSS score 20-35) symptom scores (9). The separation of subjects according to total prostate volume was made using the cut-off levels of previous large-scale, long-term medical studies (14,15) and the risk for BPH progression (TPV < 30 and ≥ 30 mL, respectively) (16).…”

Purpose: We aimed to compare the associations between semen quality, associated reproductive indicators and the main prostate-related parameters in middle-aged men. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study on 422 middle-aged men who underwent the screening for prostate health. Their reproductive function, semen quality and prostate-related pathologies were investigated. Results: Significant associations between semen quality and prostate-related parameters could be seen. Total sperm count and sperm density decreased along with the increase of the I-PSS score and total prostate volume. Also, the related lower urinary tract characteristics showed a negative correlation with main semen parameters for all investigated subjects. no significant differences in age, testicular size, and hormonal parameters were found between the subjects with or without lower urinary tract symptoms and prostate enlargement. Conclusions: Our study suggests that altered seminal parameters in middle-aged men are associated with LUTS, prostate enlargement and/or bladder outlet obstruction. Although the assessments of prostate and lower urinary tract symptoms may not replace the semen parameters evaluating the male reproductive status, there is a need for further and more detailed investigations about the pathways behind these associations as well as possible related conditions.

“…It is desirable to incorporate a validated survey instrument such as the National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) [3]. To facilitate evaluation of varied populations, the NIH-CPSI has been translated and validated for use in English [3], Spanish [4], Japanese [5], Chinese [6], Malay [6], German [7], Korean [8], Finnish [9], Italian [10], French [11], and Estonian [12]. However, a population-based study found low agreement between physician-diagnosed prostatitis and the NIH-CPSI pain measures, suggesting that the index, by itself, may have limited ability to determine the presence or absence of prostatitis [13].…”

Background-Prostatitis describes a combination of infectious diseases (acute and chronic bacterial prostatitis), chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and asymptomatic inflammation.Materials and methods-We employed evidence-based methods to review the epidemiology of prostatitis syndromes.Results-The prevalence of prostatitis symptoms could be compared in five studies surveying 10 617 men. Overall, 873 participants met various criteria for prostatitis, representing an overall rate of 8.2%, with prevalence ranging from 2.2 to 9.7%. A history of sexually transmitted diseases was associated with an increased risk for prostatitis symptoms. Men reporting a history of prostatitis symptoms had a substantially increased rate of benign prostatic hyperplasia, lower urinary tract symptoms and prostate cancer. In one study, the incidence of physician-diagnosed prostatitis was 4.9 cases per 1000 person-years. Two studies suggest that about one-third of men reporting prostatitis symptoms had resolution after 1 year. Patients with previous episodes and more severe symptoms are at higher risk for chronic pelvic pain.Discussion-The prevalence of prostatitis symptoms is high, comparable to rates of ischamic heart disease and diabetes. Clinical evaluation appears necessary to verify that prostatitis is responsible for patients' symptoms. Prostatitis symptoms may increase a man's risk for benign prostate hypertrophy, lower urinary tract symptoms and prostate cancer. We need to define natural history and consequences of prostatitis, develop better algorithms for diagnosis and treatment, and develop strategies for prevention.A resurgence of interest in prostatitis has occurred during the last decade. This has been accompanied by a new level of understanding of the epidemiology, morbidity and economic impact of these conditions. Much progress dates from the recognition that infection and inflammation are important in certain prostatitis syndromes. Despite limited information on the causes of other prostatitis syndromes, these conditions can be defined and important treatment studies have been initiated. This article employs evidence-based methods to review the epidemiology of prostatitis syndromes, examines the clinical implications of these data, and outlines areas for future research.

“…The Original-American, Chinese-Malaysian, Japanese (a), Japanese (b) and Malaysian adaptations enrolled patients with CP/CPPS, patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients, and healthy controls [ 9 , 13 , 31 , 32 ]. The Arabic-Egyptian, Chinese-Mainland, Estonian, Finnish, French-Canadian, Italian, Persian, and Turkish adaptations enrolled patients with CP/CPPS, and healthy controls, but patients with BPH [ 22 , 23 , 25 – 27 , 30 , 33 , 35 ].

Background The National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) was developed to accurately assess the pain, urinary symptoms, and quality of life related to chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS). This study aimed to evaluate the cross-cultural adaptations of the NIH-CPSI. Method PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and SciELO databases were searched from their established year to September 2020. Cross-cultural adaptations and the quality control of measurement properties of adaptations were conducted by two reviewers independently according to the Guidelines for the Process of Cross-Cultural Adaptation of Self-Report Measures and the Quality Criteria for Psychometric Properties of Health Status Questionnaire. Results Area total of 21 papers with 16 adaptations, and six studies of the original version of the NIH-CPSI were enrolled in the systematic review. Back translation was the weakest process for the quality assessment of the cross-cultural adaptations of the NIH-CPSI. Internal consistency was analyzed for most of the adaptations, but none of them met the standard. Only 11 adaptations reported test reliability, then only the Arabic-Egyptian, Chinese-Mainland, Danish, Italian, Persian, and Turkish adaptations met the criterion. Most adaptations reported the interpretability, but only the Danish adaptation reported the agreement. The other measurement properties, including responsiveness, and floor as well as ceiling effects were not reported in any of the adaptations. Conclusions The overall quality of the NIH-CPSI cross-cultural adaptations was not organized as expected. Only the Portuguese-Brazilian, Italian, and Spanish adaptations reached over half the process for the cross-cultural adaptation. Only the Turkish adaptations finished half of the measurement properties of cross-cultural adaptations.
