Uroflowmetry Curve Types and IPSS in Men With LUTS

Sponsor: Tarik Emre Sener

Summary

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the relationship between different uroflowmetry curve types and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) domains in men presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Participants will undergo routine clinical evaluations including uroflowmetry, laboratory assessments, and completion of the IPSS questionnaire. Each participant will be classified into one of five predefined uroflowmetry curve types (normal/bell-shaped, plateau, staccato, intermittent, or tower-like). The IPSS will be analyzed both as a total score and as two subdomains: storage and voiding symptoms. Additional data such as age, comorbidities, medication use, prostate volume, eGFR, and QoL score will also be recorded to assess potential correlations and predictive factors for symptom severity. The goal of this study is to better understand how objective urodynamic findings correlate with patient-reported symptoms and to inform clinical decision-making in men with LUTS.
