“…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 ability of the questionnaire to discriminate symptoms of CP/ CPPS from other genitourinary diseases or even asymptomatic patients was well established in several studies (11,16). Items 5 and 6, of the urinary symptoms domains, are very similar to questions1 and 2 of the IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) (20), except in relation of time (during last week in nIH-CPSI instead of last month in I-PSS) and represent bladder symptoms of voiding and storage, respectively.…”

“…It has nine items, divided in three domains (pain, urinary symptoms and quality of life) and it is used as diagnostic tool for the diagnosis and follow-up of CP/CPPS. Initially it was presented in English, but it was adapted to Spanish (10), Japanese (11), German (12), Italian (13), Estonian (14), Malay (15), Finnish (16), and French (17). However, it was not adapted to Brazilian spoken Portuguese until now.…”

Cultural Adaptation of the National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) - to Brazilian Spoken Portuguese: NIH-CPSI (Braz)

Objectives: To create a Brazilian version of the national Institutes of Health -Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (nIH-CPSI) using a cross-cultural adaptation process. Materials and Methods:The nine items of the nIH-CPSI were translated to Portuguese, by two independent translators, of native Portuguese language origin, and it was obtained a single version, that was retranslated to English by two English native spoken translators, in order to correct any discrepancies. Those versions were compared to the original text, the modifications were applied and it was created a final version in Portuguese. That was pre-tested and applied to 30 patients with pain or perineal or ejaculatory disorder. To each item of the pre-final version it was assigned a score according to the grade of understanding and clarity in order to implement the adequate corrections. The final version in Portuguese was submitted to evaluations including face validation and psychometric proprieties of reproducibility and internal consistency, respectively evaluated by the (p) Pearson correlation coefficient and α Cronbach coefficient. Results: All items applied to 30 patients during pre-test phase had a grade higher than 8 of understanding and clarity, and were considered clearly understandable by the patients. However, at face validation evaluation, there was an inconsistency of item three that was redone. The final produced version, called nIH-CPSI (Braz) showed good reproducibility (p = 0.89-0.99) and internal consistency (α Cronbach coefficient = 0.85-0.93). Conclusions: nIH-CPSI was adapted to Brazilian spoken Portuguese and its original proprieties were maintained, being a valid instrument for evaluations of symptoms of chronic prostatitis in Brazilian patients.

“…Our study described translation and validation of the Arabic version of the NHI-CPSI among a sample of the Egyptian populace. A backtranslation method was used to develop the Arabic version of the NIH-CPSI which proved efficient [6][7][8][9][10] . Our results were similar to those of previously reported different translations of the NIH-CPSI [7][8][9][10][11] .…”

Our results were similar to those of previously reported different translations of the NIH-CPSI [7][8][9][10][11] . These slight discrepancies may be due, apart from the different profile of the selected patients, to a different way of perceiving and expressing symptoms of the Egyptian population.…”

Validity and Reliability of the Arabic Version of the National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index

Introduction: In order to accurately assess the extent of chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) and to objectively measure symptoms for natural history studies and to assess the outcome parameters for clinical trials, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Chronic Prostatitis Collaborative Research Network developed and validated the NIH Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI). The aim of the current study was to develop and validate a fluent and comprehensive Arabic version of the NIH-CPSI. Methods: This study consisted of 80 consecutive male patients affected by CPPS and 80 healthy controls who were asked to complete the Arabic version of the NIH-CPSI. The translation was performed by a group consisting of an andrologist and professional translators. Psychometric data were collected. Results: Of the 160 subjects enrolled, 82 (50 patients and 32 controls) completed the study. The total Arabic NIH-CPSI scores and the scores of each subscale differed significantly between the two groups with good discriminant validity. The questionnaire had also a high internal consistency. Conclusion: The present study provides the Arabic version of the NIH-CPSI and recognizes it as a valid and reliable tool in the assessment of local patients with CPPS.
