Abstract

Objective: To evaluate patients with symptomatic chronic prostatitis by the NIH Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (CPSI) and to compare differences among subgroups with regard to symptom scores. Methods: Two-hundred symptomatic patients within categories II, III-A and III-B according to the NIH prostatitis classification were evaluated. Patients were questioned with NIH-CPSI. The prostate specific specimens were then examined by microbiological methods. Results: After clinical and microbiological evaluation it was found that 86 patients (43%) were in category II, 9 (4.5%) were in category III-A and 105 (52.5%) were in category III-B groups. These categories were compared according to the CPSI scores of the patients. The categories remained comparable (p> 0.05). There were no significant differences between the symptom scores of married and single patients (p> 0.05). Staphylococcus aureus and Ureaplasma urealyticum were the most commonly isolated bacteria in category II patients. The symptom scores of these patients did not show significant difference according to the agents of infection (p> 0.05). Conclusion: Clinical symptoms are similar among the subgroups of patients with chronic prostatitis. CPSI scores are comparable among all subgroups.

Özet

Amaç: Semptomatik kronik prostatitli hastalarda semptomların NIH (National Institutes of Health) Kronik Prostatit Semptom İndeksi (KPSİ) ile değerlendirilmesi ve semptom skorları açısından alt gruplar arasında farklılık olup olmadığının araştırılması. Yöntem: NIH prostatit sınıflandırmasına göre kategori II, III-A ve III-B grubunda bulunan 200 Semptomatik hasta değerlen-dirildi. Hastalar NIH-KPSİ ile sorgulandı. Daha sonra Alman prostat spesifik örnekler mikrobiyolojik yöntemlerle incelendi. Bulgular: Klinik ve mikrobiyolojik değerlendirmeler sonucunda 86 hastanın (%43) kategori II, 9 hastanın (%4.5) kategori III-A ve 105 hastanın (% 52.5) kategori III-B grubunda yer aldığı saptandı. Hastaların KPSÎ bulguları kategoriler arasında karşılaştırıldı. Kategoriler arasında KPSİ skorları açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark gözlenmedi (p> 0.05). Evli ve bekar hastalar arasında da semptom skorları açısından anlamlı fark görülmedi (p> 0.05). Kategori II grubunda bulunan hastalardan en çok izole edilen iki bakteri olan S. aureus ve U. urealyticum ile infekte olan hastaların karşılaştırılmasında da semptom skorları açısından anlamlı fark yoktu (p> 0.05). Sonuç: Semptomatik kronik prostatitli hastaların bütün alt gruplarında benzer klinik semp-tomlar görülmektedir. Alt gruplar arasında KPSİ skorları açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklar bulunmamaktadır.
