Brief Summary:
The present is a multicenter, observational study organized by the Prostatic Obstruction Investigation Team (POInT), with a main purpose of looking into the current status and symptom progression of male lower urinary tract symptoms patients in China.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Drug: Oral medications to treat lower urinary tract symptoms Procedure: Minimal invasive transurethral prostate procedures

Detailed Description:
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is a common medical condition negatively affecting people's quality of life worldwide. LUTS may be caused by structural or functional abnormalities in 1 or more parts of the lower urinary tract, including bladder, prostate, internal and external urethral sphincter and distal urethra. Furthermore, evidence exists to demonstrate that LUTS is associate with lifestyle factors, systemic comorbidities and geriatric diseases, such as smoking, obesity, metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney diseases and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease etc. So far, there is lack of evidence to illustrate the symptom features and comorbidities among Chinese male LUTS patients. Therefore, this multicenter clinical study aims to investigate the present status and symptom progression among male LUTS patients in China.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. The changes of IPSS scores between baseline and follow-up [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline and 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months if oral medication is provided, or 1, 6, 18, 24 months after surgery. ]
    Measured using standard IPSS scoring system

  2. The changes of nocturia symptoms between baseline and follow-up [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline and 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months if oral medication is provided, or 1, 6, 18, 24 months after surgery ]
    Measured using standard ICIQ-N-QoL score

  3. The changes of erectile function between baseline and follow-up [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline and 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months if oral medication is provided, or 1, 6, 18, 24 months after surgery ]
    Measured using standard IIEF score

  4. The changes of maximum flow rate (ml/s) between baseline and follow-up [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline and 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months if oral medication is provided or 1, 6, 18, 24 months after surgery ]
    Maximum flow rate will be measured using urinary flow study

  5. The changes of post void residual volume (ml) between baseline and follow-up [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline and 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months if oral medication is provided or 1, 6, 18, 24 months after surgery ]
    post void residual volume (ml) will be measured using urinary flow study

  6. The changes of detrusor pressure at maximum flow rate (cmH2O) between baseline and follow-up [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline (if surgical treatment is required) and 1, 6, 18, 24 months after surgery ]
    It will be measured using pressure-flow study

  7. The changes of prostate volume (ml) between baseline and follow-up [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline and 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months after oral medication treatment ]
    Prostate volume (ml) will be measured using transrectal prostate ultrasound and calculated as: prostate volume (ml) = length (mm) * width (mm) * height (mm) * 0.52

  8. The changes of intravesical prostate protrusion (mm) between baseline and follow-up [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline and 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months after oral medication treatment ]
    Intravesical prostate protrusion (mm) will be measured using transrectal prostate ultrasound and calculated as the distance between the tip of the prostate median lobe and bladder neck


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. The changes of Blood pressure between baseline and follow-up [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline and 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months if oral medication is provided or 1, 6, 18, 24 months after surgery. ]
    systolic pressure/ diastolic pressure in mmHg.

  2. The changes of Blood lipid between baseline and follow-up [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline and 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months if oral medication is provided or 1, 6, 18, 24 months after surgery. ]
    The blood lipid level will be assessed using multiple serum parameters, namely, cholesterol (mmol/L), triglyceride (mmol/L), high-density lipoprotein (mmol/L), low-density lipoprotein (mmol/L), lipoprotein-a (mmol/L)

  3. The changes of Blood glucose between baseline and follow-up [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline and 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months if oral medication is provided or 1, 6, 18, 24 months after surgery. ]
    The blood glucose level will be assessed using multiple serum parameters, namely, fast blood-glucose (mmol/L), glycosylated hemoglobin (%), glycated albumin (%)

  4. The changes of Kidney function between baseline and follow-up [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline and 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months if oral medication is provided or 1, 6, 18, 24 months after surgery. ]
    The kidney function will be assessed using multiple serum and urine parameters, namely, serum creatinine (μmoI/L), cystatin-C (mg/L), eGRF (calculated via both CKD-EPI equation and MDRD equation), BUN (mmol/L), uric acid (μmoI/L), β2-MG (mg/L), NAG (U/L), Na (mmol/L), K (mmol/L), the degree of urine protein

  5. The changes of PSA (ng/ml) between baseline and follow-up [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline and 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months if oral medication is provided or 1, 6, 18, 24 months after surgery. ]
    Serum PSA level will be measured to rule out prostate cancer

  6. The changes of RBC (/HP) between baseline and follow-up [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline and 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months if oral medication is provided or 1, 6, 18, 24 months after surgery. ]
    Urine RBC will be measured to detect the incidence of urinary tract infection or tumor

  7. The changes of WBC (/HP) between baseline and follow-up [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline and 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months if oral medication is provided or 1, 6, 18, 24 months after surgery. ]
