“…Several questionnaires have been developed to evaluate the lower urinary tract symptoms. 11,12,17,18 Of these, the CLSS questionnaire addresses 10 important lower urinary tract symptoms, selected from the 25 symptoms defined by the International Continence Society, as having the greatest impact on QoL, in both men and women. 11 Using the CLSS, we confirmed the absence of any significant lower urinary tract symptoms in our study group.…”

“…The study group included 18 participants, 16 women, and 2 men with an average age of 40.8 years (Table ), average body mass index of 23.4, and no history of voiding symptoms, as confirmed using the Core Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score (CLSS) questionnaire. The CLSS evaluates 10 important lower urinary tract symptoms known to have the greatest negative impact on the QoL of symptomatic men and women: daytime frequency, nocturia, urgency, urgency incontinence, stress incontinence, slow stream, straining, incomplete emptying, bladder pain, and urethral pain. Each item is scored on a 4‐point scale, from ‘0’ (no symptoms) to ‘3’ (terrible), with the total score ranging between ‘0’ and ‘30’.…”

Aim To validate a novel digital health monitoring system to measure the volume of voided urine. Methods Micturition volume was calculated using our novel digital self‐health monitoring system of urine excretion (s‐HMSU) in 18 participants (16 women and 2 men; average age, 40.8 years), without a history of voiding symptoms. Participants completed a self‐reported questionnaire regarding their medical history and water intake during the period of observation, as well as the Core Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score (CLSS) questionnaire. To assess the reliability of the voided volumes measured using the s‐HMSU, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated between the volume and the change in body weight before and after micturition. Results The CLSS questionnaire confirmed the absence of urinary system diseases in all participants. The medical history was also negative with the exception of hypertension in one participant. The ICC (1,1) between the measured volume of urine excretion using the s‐HMSU and the change in body weight was 0.972 (95% confidence interval, 0.957‐0.982). Conclusions The s‐HMSU system provides a reliable measure of voiding volume and is appropriate for home use. It has the potential to facilitate large‐scale clinical research to examine the relationship between medical diseases and voiding dysfunction.

“…18 The results of 10 questions were summed, and the total score is reported from 0-30.with higher scores signifying higher severity in LUTD .The questionnaire is found to be reliable to assess lower urinary tract symptoms in patients with chronic stroke as per the study concluded byMiyazato et.al in 2016. 12 Functional status was then evaluated using Barthel Index . It includes 10 fundamental items of ADL: feeding, grooming, bathing, dressing, bowel and bladder care, toilet use, ambulation, transfers, and stair climbing.…”

“…However the precise profile of lower urinary tract symptoms among patients with chronic stroke is still unclear according to a study by Miyazato M in 2017. 12 Previous studies have mostly focused on the prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) while other symptoms such as urgency, daytime frequency and nocturia are rarely reported and quantified. 7 Assessment of severity and bother from symptoms is important, which leads to poor functional recovery and ultimately leading to poor functional status and medical help seeing behavior.…”

Background: Stroke is one of the diseases affecting the nervous system which controls the lower urinary tract. Lower urinary tract dysfunction is a broad term of subjective urinary tract symptoms and may vary according to the course of disease. The presence of Lower urinary tract dysfunction is a negative prognostic indicator for a variety of health and rehabilitation outcomes across the spectrum of care. This study was carried out to find whether severity of lower urinary tract dysfunction has an influence on functional status among ambulant stroke survivors.Methodology: 20 ambulant stroke survivors with the mean age of 68.55±8.02 were evaluated using Core Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score to assess the severity of lower urinary tract dysfunction and Barthel Index to assess the functional status. Conclusion:This pilot study found weak negative correlation (r=-0.26) between Core lower urinary tract symptom score and functional status; however it was found to be statistically non-significant (p>0.05).

“…Storage symptoms in stroke patients have been found to be significantly correlated with increasing age, male gender, high education, living alone, snoring, and co-existing medical conditions such as hypertension, and coronary heart disease ( 15 ). While, voiding symptoms, including slow stream and straining, are markedly associated with age and physical activity following stroke ( 98 ).…”

Aging and major chronic diseases are risk factors for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). On the other hand, oxidative stress (OS) is one of the fundamental mechanisms of aging and the development of chronic diseases. Therefore, OS might be a candidate mechanism linking these two clinical entities. This article aims to summarize the studies on the prevalence of LUTS, the role of OS in aging and chronic diseases, and the potential mechanisms supporting the putative link. A comprehensive literature search was performed to identify recent reports investigating LUTS and OS in major chronic diseases. In addition, studies on the impact of OS on the lower urinary tract, including bladder, urethra, and prostate, were collected and summarized. Many studies showed LUTS are prevalent in aging and major chronic diseases, including obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, autoimmune diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease. At the same time, OS is a key component in the pathogenesis of those chronic diseases and conditions. Recent studies also provided evidence that exacerbated OS can cause functional and/or structural changes in the bladder, urethra, and prostate, leading to LUTS. The reviewed data support the concept that OS is involved in multiple risk factors-associated LUTS, although further studies are needed to confirm the causative relationship. The specific ROS/RNS and corresponding reactions/pathways involved in chronic diseases and associated LUTS should be identified in the future and could serve as therapeutic targets.
