What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
International Prostate Symptom Score
This tool was developed by Barry et al., (1992) for assessing LUTs after TURP. Post-TURP, patients may continue to experience urinary symptoms such as frequency, urgency, nocturia, and incomplete emptying. International Prostate Symptom Score consists of seven symptom-related questions and one quality-of-life question to assess the severity of LUTs. The symptom questions evaluate incomplete emptying, frequency, intermittency, urgency, weak stream, straining, and nocturia, each scored from 0 (never),1(less than 1time in 5), 2 (less than half the time), 3 (about half the time), 4 (more than half the time) to 5 (almost always), with a total score ranging from 0 to 35 (mild: 0-7, moderate: 8-19, severe: 20-35).
Measured: within 3 month
Secondary outcomes (1)
World Health Organization Performance Status Scale
It developed by Oken et al., (1982) to assess how disease affects daily living abilities of patient and describes the status of symptoms and functions. It consists of: Grade 0: Normal activity, Grade 1: Restricted in physical strenuous activities but ambulatory and able to carry out work of light or sedentary nature, Grade 2: Less than 50% of daytime in bed, Grade 3: More than 50% of daytime in bed, Grade 4: Completely disabled and Grade 5: Dead.
Measured: within 6 month
