Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
International Prostate Symptom Scorewithin 3 monthThis 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).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
World Health Organization Performance Status Scalewithin 6 monthIt 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.
