Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS)
Brief summary
A prospective multicenter randomized blinded study comparing Aquablation of the prostate with the AQUABEAM System and TURP for the treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS). The primary endpoints for safety and effectiveness were measured at 3 and 6 months, respectively, and subjects were followed out to 5 years to collect long-term clinical data.
Interventions
The AQUABEAM system, a personalized image-guided tissue removal system, utilizes proprietary heat-free high-velocity waterjet technology to resect and remove prostate tissue.
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a type of prostate surgery done to relieve moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate, a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

Outcome results
Change Score of IPSS Questionnaire Between Baseline and 6 Months
The primary effectiveness endpoint is the IPSS change score from baseline to 6 months. International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ranges from 0 to 35. A higher score indicates a worse outcome.
Time frame: Six months post-treatment
Population: The variation between the overall number of participants analyzed for this outcome and the completed number on the participant flow at this follow-up is due to this specific outcome assessment not being done by all participants who completed this follow-up.
