Examine the correlation between visual and international prostate symptom scores for grading LUTS in BPH patients.
Conducted an observational study at Muhimbili National Hospital.
Utilized visual prostate symptom scores and international prostate symptom scores for patient assessment.
Included a diverse patient population, addressing literacy levels.
Demonstrated a strong correlation between VPSS and IPSS in evaluating LUTS severity.
Highlighted VPSS's reliability and utility in routine clinical practice for BPH management.
Indicated improved treatment outcomes and symptom monitoring effectiveness.

Implication

Observational analysis shows lower urinary tract symptoms relate to treatment outcomes in benign prostatic hyperplasia patients.

Abstract

This study showed that VPSS effectively evaluates LUTS severity in BPH patients, correlating well with IPSS, even in illiterate patients. VPSS's reliability suggests its utility in routine practice, enhancing symptom monitoring and treatment outcomes in BPH management.
