Prevalence of post-micturition symptoms in association with lower urinary tract symptoms and health-related quality of life in men and women.

摘要: Objectives To estimate the prevalence of post-micturition symptoms (a feeling incomplete emptying following urination and dribble) in a population-based sample men women, to examine overlap with storage voiding LUTS associations health-related quality life (HRQL). Patients methods Data were obtained by in-person interview Boston Area Community Health survey, random 2301 3202 women aged 30–79 years USA. Lower urinary tract (LUTS) defined using International Prostate Symptom Score standardized terminology. Multivariate linear regression was used evaluate between urological validated HRQL measures (SF-12 activities interference) cross-sectionally. Results The overall 11.8% 8.5% women. The increased age but not women. In men, post-void dribbling contributed much symptoms, whereas, more common. For both genders, over 50% also had compared less than respondents who reported symptoms. The presence particularly emptying, indicative mildly impaired physical interference mental (P < 0.01). Conclusions Post-micturition prevalent any individual symptom commonly overlapped other LUTS. Over half symptom. The HRQL.

However, new terminology for standardization reporting pelvic floor dysfunctions grouped without provding specific justification [6]. Overall, research date has focused on (e.g. hesitancy, straining) or frequency, urgency) whereas and/or received relatively little attention, despite their potential daily (HRQL). Possibly contributing this discrepancy is own, may be common as observed two large studies, EPIC EpiLUTS [2,7]. Indeed, few people study (3.0% 0.9% women) isolation from LUTS. frequently occur alongside [2]. Despite low impact when occurring isolation, additional substantially diminished bother, relative having problems [2,8]. In addition, an apparent gender difference extent groups well bother suggests underlying pathophysiology differs gender, similar proportions. Whether should recently recommended remains unclear. More detail differences would help increase our understanding mechanisms clinical relevance symptoms. To improve epidemiological profiles given ICS/International Urogynecological Association classifications [5,6], present aimed to: (i) racially ethnically diverse women; (ii) gender; (iii) association HRQL, consideration co-occurring
