| Popis: | Benigna hiperplazija prostate (BPH) kronična je i progresivna bolest čija prevalencija raste s dobi i jako narušava kvalitetu života. Povećanje prostate i posljedični pritisak na mokraćnu cijev dovode do pojave simptoma BPH. Danas simptome BPH promatramo kao širu skupinu koju nazivamo simptomi donjeg urinarnog trakta (LUTS). Više od 40% pregleda u općoj urološkoj ambulanti vezano je uz tegobe donjeg urinarnog trakta. Ovo nas je potaknulo da provedemo presječno anketno istraživanje epidemiologije, dijagnostike i liječenja BPH u Republici Hrvatskoj. U istraživanje su uključena 1364 bolesnika i 50 urologa. Prosječna dob bolesnika bila je 67,0 godina. Od ukupno anketiranih bolesnika 646 odnosno 49,2% bilo je prvi put kod urologa. U ovom radu prikazani su rezultati i analiza ove ankete. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a chronic and progressive disease whose prevalence increases with age and seriously impairs the quality of life. Enlargement of the prostate and the consequent pressure on the urethra leads to the onset of BPH symptoms. Today we look at the symptoms of BPH through a wider group that is called lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Over 40% of visits to general urological outpatient clinic are associated with lower urinary tract symptoms. This inspired us to perform the cross-sectional survey of the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of BPH in the Republic of Croatia. The study included 1364 patients and 50 urologists. The average patient age was 67.0 years. Of all the surveyed patients 646 or 49.2% were for the first time seen by the urologist. This paper presents the results and analysis of this survey. |
