Predicting BPH Surgery Outcomes Using a Preoperative Scoring System

Sponsor: First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University

Summary

This study aims to develop and validate a preoperative predictive scoring system for surgical outcomes in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) undergoing prostate surgery (including but not limited to transurethral resection of the prostate, laser enucleation, photoselective vaporization, or robot-assisted simple prostatectomy). It is a multicenter retrospective study involving patients from four hospitals in China. Preoperative multidimensional objective indicators, including clinical data, prostate MRI parameters, and urodynamic measurements, will be collected. The primary outcome is a favorable surgical response defined by a postoperative-to-preoperative International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ratio ≤ 0.5 at 6 months after surgery. Multivariable logistic regression, restricted cubic splines, and bootstrap internal validation will be used to construct and evaluate the scoring system. The goal is to provide an objective, individualized tool for optimizing surgical decision-making in BPH patients.
