Outcome results
Change in BPH Symptoms - Primary Efficacy Endpoint 2
In HoLEP procedures: Improvement in BPH symptoms from baseline as measured by favorable change (decrease) in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at 3 month follow-up, on a scale of 0 to 35.
Time frame: 3 month follow-up
Population: Change in IPSS total score in BPH subjects from baseline to 3 month post procedure was analyzed. If multiple IPSS scores were collected during the analysis window, only the last IPSS score collected in the window was counted. Visits that occurred from 60 days through 150 days post-operative were considered as 3-month visits. IPSS cannot be obtained in catheterized subjects; 30 subjects had catheters at baseline. 57 subjects had data at both baseline and 3 months post procedure.
