| Popis: | In a 7-year study of 178 randomly selected healthy men older than 50, data were respectively obtained concerning treatment for benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) and overall morbidity and mortality. Plain symptom scores were calculated in all cases and urinary voiding was recorded in 112. The maximum flow rate was read and the pattern of flow curve determined. Log rank test and survival curves were used in evaluation of results. The general risk of death or disease overshadowing BPH greatly exceeded the probability of surgery for prostatism. The only factor predicting need for prostatectomy was a symptom score higher than 6 points. If the symptom score is low and indications for treatment are otherwise, relative, an expectant attitude to surgery for BPH is advocated. |
