We assessed the symptomatic outcome of transurethral prostatectomy with the newly developed self-administered questionnaire, Danish Prostate Symptom Score (DAN-PSS-1), in men suffering from uncomplicated benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The questionnaire was filled in adequately by 53 men, median age 69 (range 52-82), preoperatively and 2, 4 and 6 months after transurethral prostatectomy (TUR-P). The DAN-PSS-1 symptom score showed a high degree of sensitivity as the preoperative total score was median 20 (quartiles 14-36) and decreased to 4, 0 and 1 (quartiles from 0-4) at the 2, 4, and 6-month control respectively. The symptoms related to voiding were relieved totally after 2 months while symptoms related to storage were first relieved completely at 4-month control. Bother from symptoms was relieved after 2 months, although some symptoms still remained. The questionnaire was internally consistent with a reliability coefficient, Cronbach's alpha (alphaCr), of 0.73. We conclude that the DAN-PSS-1 questionnaire is an efficient tool among others in the indication and evaluation of treatment of uncomplicated BPH.
