“…That being mentioned, majority of the participants and target participants have QoL of 1 and 2 (47.1% and 50% respectively), which depicts that the consult were not due to symptomatic consult, but rather due to prostate health awareness. The mean age 60.4±9.85 among the recruited participants in the PaDRE ka Day was consistent with average age of participants reported from the other existing regional and international prostate health awareness program; likewise, it was consistent with the description of international LUTS and prostate cancer epidemiology [7–13]. …”

Purpose:“Mag-paDRE” is a yearly prostate health public awareness program initiated by the Philippine Urological Association. This study aimed to describe the demographic and clinical data of the participants in the 2013 “Mag-paDRE” program and to identify factors that will further improve prostate health public awareness.Methods:A descriptive cross-sectional study undertaken to collect and assess the demographic data, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and digital rectal examination findings of the participants in the “Mag-paDRE” conducted in the 10 Philippine Board of Urology (PBU) different accredited training institutions. Descriptive statistics was used to report the proportion of Filipino men aged 40 or older who presented for their first prostate health evaluation. Clinical profile were reviewed and summarized. The study protocol was registered in the Clinicaltrial.gov under Identifier NCT01886547.Results:A total of 925 participants from the 10 PBU accredited training institutions were assessed. Among the 10 training institutions the large tertiary government owned medical center had the highest number of participants and target participants recruited; while the private sectors owned tertiary hospitals have the highest proportion of target participants and cases. According to the predetermined definition of this study, 614 (66%) were considered the target population for the “Mag-paDRE” program. The mean age of the target participants was 58.9±9.9. Only 360 of 614 (59%) were new case, 118 (32.7%) had severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), 223 (62%) had moderate LUTS, 19 (5.3%) were asymptomatic but with hard prostates, palpable prostate nodules or prostate tenderness. The most bothersome symptoms were incomplete bladder emptying (30.2%), and frequency (22.9%).Conclusions:Overall, the 2013 “Mag-paDRE” among the 10 training institutions was effective in promoting prostate health awareness. A need to modify the preactivity information dissemination by these institutions can be done to further increase the attendance of targeted population of the prostate health awareness program.

“…Population‐based studies suggest international variations in the incidence of LUTS, even between countries of similar ethnicity [6], with prevalence values of 18–59%[7]. Witjes et al [8] found that not all symptoms were affected equally, with only 10 of 20 assessed showing international variations.…”

estimate the relative risk of symptoms between groups. Data from 7810 men were included in the analysis. RESULTSIn all, 409 (5.3%) of the population sample described themselves as Asian; 36.5% of these men described at least one significant LUTS, vs 29.0% of white men. The overall prevalence rates for all storage symptoms were significantly higher in Asian men. Straining to void was the only voiding symptom to show a difference in prevalence between the groups. However, when controlling for age, Asian men were at greater risk for all symptoms except a weak urinary stream. Reported levels of bother and felt need were the same in both population groups, but actual help-seeking was significantly less in the Asian group. Only 25.0% of Asian men had actively sought help, compared to 53.1% of white men. CONCLUSIONSouth Asian men in the UK have a higher risk of experiencing LUTS than white men from the same population. This increase in risk is greatest for storage symptoms. Although levels of bother are the same, South Asian men are less likely to seek help for their symptoms.
