“…It is desirable to incorporate a validated survey instrument such as the National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) [3]. To facilitate evaluation of varied populations, the NIH-CPSI has been translated and validated for use in English [3], Spanish [4], Japanese [5], Chinese [6], Malay [6], German [7], Korean [8], Finnish [9], Italian [10], French [11], and Estonian [12]. However, a population-based study found low agreement between physician-diagnosed prostatitis and the NIH-CPSI pain measures, suggesting that the index, by itself, may have limited ability to determine the presence or absence of prostatitis [13].…”

Background-Prostatitis describes a combination of infectious diseases (acute and chronic bacterial prostatitis), chronic pelvic pain syndrome, and asymptomatic inflammation.Materials and methods-We employed evidence-based methods to review the epidemiology of prostatitis syndromes.Results-The prevalence of prostatitis symptoms could be compared in five studies surveying 10 617 men. Overall, 873 participants met various criteria for prostatitis, representing an overall rate of 8.2%, with prevalence ranging from 2.2 to 9.7%. A history of sexually transmitted diseases was associated with an increased risk for prostatitis symptoms. Men reporting a history of prostatitis symptoms had a substantially increased rate of benign prostatic hyperplasia, lower urinary tract symptoms and prostate cancer. In one study, the incidence of physician-diagnosed prostatitis was 4.9 cases per 1000 person-years. Two studies suggest that about one-third of men reporting prostatitis symptoms had resolution after 1 year. Patients with previous episodes and more severe symptoms are at higher risk for chronic pelvic pain.Discussion-The prevalence of prostatitis symptoms is high, comparable to rates of ischamic heart disease and diabetes. Clinical evaluation appears necessary to verify that prostatitis is responsible for patients' symptoms. Prostatitis symptoms may increase a man's risk for benign prostate hypertrophy, lower urinary tract symptoms and prostate cancer. We need to define natural history and consequences of prostatitis, develop better algorithms for diagnosis and treatment, and develop strategies for prevention.A resurgence of interest in prostatitis has occurred during the last decade. This has been accompanied by a new level of understanding of the epidemiology, morbidity and economic impact of these conditions. Much progress dates from the recognition that infection and inflammation are important in certain prostatitis syndromes. Despite limited information on the causes of other prostatitis syndromes, these conditions can be defined and important treatment studies have been initiated. This article employs evidence-based methods to review the epidemiology of prostatitis syndromes, examines the clinical implications of these data, and outlines areas for future research.

“…Although it was not clear whether the dorso-lateral prostate was involved or not this model demonstrated two distinct histological phases of bacterial inflammation in the ventral prostate. 73 During the initial acute infection stage (days [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] an acute response to the bacterial challenge with florid infiltration of polymorphonuclear cells into bacteria-containing spaces was observed. 74 As the infections became chronic, heavy lymphocyte infiltration and fibrous tissue proliferation completely engulfed the ventral prostatic lobe.…”

Prostatitis is a polyetiological inflammation of the prostate gland in men characterized by pelvic pain, irritative voiding symptoms, and sexual dysfunction. Histologically prostatitis is characterized by poly-and mononuclear cell infiltrates (neutrophils, lymphocytes, macrophages and plasma cells) in the stromal connective tissue around the acini or ducts. Prostatitis is an important worldwide health problem in men. The pathogenesis and diagnostic criteria for the condition are obscure, with the result that the development of management programs for this condition has been hindered. Animal model(s) might be useful in elucidating mechanisms involved in the molecular pathogenesis of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Given that prostatitis might have a multifactorial etiology, several animal models with unique features may prove helpful. This review examines a number of experimental rodent models of prostatitis and evaluates their advantages and limitations.

“…Other cross-cultural adaptations of nIH-nCSI showed similar results. For example, the Japanese version showed a reproducibility coefficient from 0.63-0.91 (11). The α Cronbach coefficient varied from 0.83 to 0.87 in the Japanese version and from 0.60 to 0.74 in the German version (12).…”

“…The ability of the questionnaire to discriminate symptoms of CP/ CPPS from other genitourinary diseases or even asymptomatic patients was well established in several studies (11,16). Items 5 and 6, of the urinary symptoms domains, are very similar to questions1 and 2 of the IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) (20), except in relation of time (during last week in nIH-CPSI instead of last month in I-PSS) and represent bladder symptoms of voiding and storage, respectively.…”

Objectives: To create a Brazilian version of the national Institutes of Health -Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (nIH-CPSI) using a cross-cultural adaptation process. Materials and Methods:The nine items of the nIH-CPSI were translated to Portuguese, by two independent translators, of native Portuguese language origin, and it was obtained a single version, that was retranslated to English by two English native spoken translators, in order to correct any discrepancies. Those versions were compared to the original text, the modifications were applied and it was created a final version in Portuguese. That was pre-tested and applied to 30 patients with pain or perineal or ejaculatory disorder. To each item of the pre-final version it was assigned a score according to the grade of understanding and clarity in order to implement the adequate corrections. The final version in Portuguese was submitted to evaluations including face validation and psychometric proprieties of reproducibility and internal consistency, respectively evaluated by the (p) Pearson correlation coefficient and α Cronbach coefficient. Results: All items applied to 30 patients during pre-test phase had a grade higher than 8 of understanding and clarity, and were considered clearly understandable by the patients. However, at face validation evaluation, there was an inconsistency of item three that was redone. The final produced version, called nIH-CPSI (Braz) showed good reproducibility (p = 0.89-0.99) and internal consistency (α Cronbach coefficient = 0.85-0.93). Conclusions: nIH-CPSI was adapted to Brazilian spoken Portuguese and its original proprieties were maintained, being a valid instrument for evaluations of symptoms of chronic prostatitis in Brazilian patients.
