METHODS This study used data from two large-population surveys: a community- and a university hospital outpatient-based interview survey. Both surveys were conducted in male subjects aged 40 years and older who gave consent to the questionnaire survey and voluntarily expressed their intention to participate. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to reduce selection bias from the sampled population and to organize the population in both surveys into randomized groups. Excluding those with missing values, 483 subjects were assigned to each group by PSM. RESULTS With age and the S-PP of LUTS as covariates, propensity scores were estimated as the probability of a hospital visit. The distributions of the non-visiting group and the visiting group before and after PSM were found to be similar in terms of age and the S-PP of LUTS (Fig 1). The S-PP of LUTS became significantly longer as the severity of BPH increased. The S-PP was shown to be 4.15 years in the mild group, 4.36 years in the moderate group, and 6.23 years in the severe group, and this was a statistically significant difference. The correlation between S-PP of LUTS and IPSS was measured by partial correlation while controlling for age ( r = 0.20). A multiple regression analysis performed while controlling for age found that a one-year increase in the S-PP of LUTS increased the IPSS by 0.322 points (p <0.01) (Table). CONCLUSIONS This study clarifies the association between the S-PP of LUTS and IPSS in a large-scale population. These findings suggest that from the perspective of public health, S-PP is an important risk factor for BPH progression, along with age. © 2015 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 193Issue 4SApril 2015Page: e171-e172 Peer Review Report Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2015 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.MetricsAuthor Information Sungryul Shim More articles by this author Jaeheon Kim More articles by this author Wonjin Lee More articles by this author Sangjin Yoon More articles by this author Jaehyun Bae More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
