Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical assessment

Background:

  • Standardized symptom scores are crucial for evaluating voiding disorders.
  • The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Madsen-Iversen questionnaire are widely used in France.
  • These self-assessment tools are inherently subjective.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the descriptive capabilities of the IPSS and Madsen-Iversen scores for patient voiding status.
  • To assess patient comprehension levels of both questionnaires.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study included 100 male patients.
  • Patients completed both IPSS and Madsen-Iversen questionnaires.
  • Physical examination, uroflowmetry, and post-voiding bladder ultrasonography were performed.

Main Results:

  • Both IPSS (85%) and Madsen-Iversen (87%) provided satisfactory descriptions of voiding status.
  • Patient understanding was high for both: IPSS (84%) and Madsen-Iversen (83%).
  • Questionnaire completion order and patient age did not affect results.

Conclusions:

  • No significant difference was found between IPSS and Madsen-Iversen in describing or being understood.
  • Approximately 20% of patients encountered difficulties completing these questionnaires.
  • Further investigation into improving questionnaire usability may be warranted.
