目的评价血管疾病的危险因素和美国泌尿外科协会症状评分（AUA-SS）之间的相关性，通过比较这些危险因素的存在与下尿路症状（LUTS）的程度。患者和方法我们回顾性地回顾了病史，AUA-SS和前列腺体积的男性谁有根治性前列腺切除术。结果整个队列的平均AUA-SS为7.2，无危险因素的男性为5.6，至少有一个危险因素的男性为7.9（P < 0.05）。在有1 - 4个风险因素的男性中，平均AUA-SS分别为6.9、7.9、10.7和19.5。AUA-SS和前列腺大小在整个队列或任何groups.CONCLUSIONS男性血管疾病的危险因素之间没有相关性更可能有较高的AUA-SS比男性没有这些危险因素。这些发现提示了血管疾病与男性下尿路症状的发展和严重程度之间可能存在关联。
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the correlation between risk factors for vascular disease and the American Urological Association Symptom Score (AUA-SS), by comparing the presence of these risk factors with the degree of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical history, AUA-SS, and prostate volume of men who had a radical prostatectomy. The degree of LUTS in men with and without risk factors for cardiovascular disease was compared.RESULTS The mean AUA-SS was 7.2 for the entire cohort, 5.6 in men with no risk factors, and 7.9 in men with at least one risk factor (P < 0.05). In men with one to four risk factors, the mean AUA-SS was 6.9, 7.9, 10.7, and 19.5, respectively. There was no correlation between the AUA-SS and prostate size in the entire cohort or among any groups.CONCLUSIONS Men with risk factors for vascular disease are more likely to have a higher AUA-SS than men without these risk factors. These findings suggest the possibility of an association between vascular disease and the development and severity of LUTS in men.
