Abstract

We determined whether the intensity of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms and arterial hypertension are associated. Baseline data from a large sample of men seeking treatment for BPH symptoms were analyzed retrospectively. BPH symptom intensity (assessed by the International Prostatic Symptom Score [I-PSS] or urinary flow rate [Qmax]) and blood pressure were determined in 9,857 patients with BPH. Normotension was defined as a diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or less, the absence of the diagnosis hypertension and the lack of antihypertensive medication (in 4,725). Hypertension was concomitantly defined as a diastolic blood pressure of greater than 90 mm Hg (in 1,727), being diagnosed with hypertension (1,950) or the current prescription of anti-hypertensive drugs (3,360 patients). When age and presence of hypertension were used as the independent explanatory variables, each year of age contributed 0.13 points and measured hypertension 1.60 points to I-PSS as the dependent response variable. Similar results were obtained with Qmax as the dependent response variable. In a logistic regression procedure using age, I-PSS and Qmax as the independent explanatory variables, each year of age and each I-PSS point significantl...Continue Reading
