    A simple at-home timed urine flow test accurately measures urinary stream strength. This free, convenient method is a valid screening tool for lower urinary tract obstruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Devices
    • Patient-Reported Outcomes

    Background:

    • Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) significantly impact quality of life.
    • Accurate assessment of urinary stream is crucial for diagnosing conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
    • Traditional uroflowmetry requires specialized equipment and clinic visits.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a simple, at-home timed urine flow measurement method.
    • To compare the accuracy of this method with instrumental peak flow rate measurements.
    • To establish the validity of timed uroflowmetry as a screening tool for urinary obstruction.

    Main Methods:

    • Patients performed a simple timed urine flow measurement at home.
    • Results were compared to standard instrumental peak flow rate measurements.

  • Correlation between the timed method and instrumental measurements was analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • The at-home timed urine flow method showed good correlation with instrumental peak flow rate.
    • Timed uroflowmetry is a free and private method for patients.
    • The technique allows for multiple measurements over time.

    Conclusions:

    • Timed uroflowmetry is a valid and cost-effective technique for documenting a weak urinary stream.
    • This method serves as a useful screening test for patients with potential lower urinary tract obstruction.
    • At-home uroflowmetry offers a convenient alternative for initial patient assessment.
