METHODS: A total of 41 patients without prior treatment within 4 weeks of their initial outpatient clinic visit were prospectively enrolled from three tertiary centers. After diagnosis, participants with BPH conducted subsequent UFM measurements using a sound-based mobile application proudP® for at least 4 days during the pre-treatment period, followed by transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). Additional measurements were taken for 4-day periods after 2, 6, and 12 weeks of treatment initiation, with concurrent in-office measurements. UFM parameters, including maximum flow rate (Qmax) and voided volume (VV), were compared. Patient satisfaction was evaluated using a 0-10 scale at the end of the 12-week study. RESULTS: TURP resulted IPSS improvement of mean 18.0±8.0 to 7.8±6.6 at 12-weeks, reflected in mean Qmax improvement of 11.2 mL/sec by in-office measurements and well-correlated with mean improvement of 7.5 mL/sec by application. A statistically significant correlation (correlation coefficient 0.707, p<0.05) was observed between the two methods. The application-based UFM effectively reflected the improvement in voiding symptoms over time subsequent to the initiation of medical treatment, with sequential increase of mean Qmax. Sub-analysis by prostate size (<80 cc vs. ≥80 cc) showed better correlation in larger prostates, with good correlation regardless of initial IPSS severity. Overall, the participants reported a high level of satisfaction, with a mean score of 9.4±0.9 points at study completion. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study demonstrate that application-based UFM (proudP®) measurements serve as an accurate and reliable indicator of perioperative surveillance in patients undergoing TURP for BPH. By enabling a personalized and portable UFM, clinicians can easily monitor treatment response as well as observe risk of postoperative AUR.
