目标。目的：建立日文版美国国立卫生研究院慢性前列腺炎症状指数（NIH-CPSI），探讨其在慢性前列腺炎患者中的有效性和适用性，并与良性前列腺增生（BPH）患者和正常男性的症状指数进行比较。该研究包括103名慢性前列腺炎患者，60名BPH患者和87名正常男性，他们同意回答日本版NIH-CPSI （JPN-NIH-CPSI）的自我管理问卷。在23例慢性前列腺炎患者中进行了测试-再测试以确认该指数的可靠性，测试间隔为2周。前列腺炎组疼痛或不适比前列腺增生组和正常组更为突出。总体而言，前列腺炎组的生活质量比其他两组受损更严重。前列腺炎组的三个领域（疼痛、泌尿系统症状和生活质量影响）得分明显高于BPH组和正常组，但BPH组的泌尿系统症状除外。经重测分析，JPN-NIH-CPSI具有良好的信度和内部一致性，Cronbach’s alpha系数大于0.8。JPN-NIH-CPSI可以可靠地用于评估日本前列腺炎患者，NIH-CPSI也适用于说英语的男性。(C) 2002, Elsevier Science Inc.；
Objectives. To establish a Japanese version of the National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) and to determine its validity and applicability in patients with chronic prostatitis, comparing the results with those from patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and normal men.Methods. The study included 103 patients with chronic prostatitis, 60 with BPH, and 87 normal men who agreed to respond to a self-administered questionnaire of the Japanese version of the NIH-CPSI (JPN-NIH-CPSI). Testing-retesting was done to confirm the reliability of the index in 23 patients with chronic prostatitis, with a 2-week interval between tests.Results. Pain or discomfort was more prominent in the prostatitis group than in the BPH and normal groups. Overall, quality of life in the prostatitis group was impaired more severely than that in the other two groups. The scores of three domains (pain, urinary symptoms, and quality-of-life impact) in the prostatitis group were clearly higher than those in the BPH and normal groups, except for those of urinary symptoms in the BPH group. The test-retest analysis showed good reliability and internal consistency for the JPN-NIH-CPSI, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of more than 0.8.Conclusions. The JPN-NIH-CPSI can be reliably used for evaluation of Japanese patients with prostatitis, as is the NIH-CPSI for English-speaking men. (C) 2002, Elsevier Science Inc.
