Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Core Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Score

  The questionnaire was developed by Homma et al. in 2008 to assess lower urinary tract symptoms. The Turkish validity and reliability study of the questionnaire was conducted by Erbay et al. in 2022. The first 5 questions in the 13-question questionnaire are about storage problems, the next 3 questions are about urination problems, and the next 2 questions are about lower urinary tract pain. The first 10 questions are scored on a Likert-type scale from 0 to 3. The Core Lower Urinary Tract also includes a question asking participants to list three core symptoms (question 11) and a question about the primary core symptom (question 12). It also includes a question about quality of life (question 13). The last question is about the patients\' satisfaction with their current urinary status, scored from 0 to 6.
