| Core Tip |
Benign prostatic hyperplasia causes lower urinary tract symptoms and impaired quality of life. This meta-analysis shows that the International Prostate Symptom Score is strongly associated with quality-of-life impairment, while prostate volume and post-void residual urine are moderately and incompletely associated with symptom severity. The findings support integrated assessment using symptom scoring, prostate volume, post-void residual urine, intravesical prostatic protrusion grading, and uroflowmetry, where available, rather than reliance on one parameter. |
