Efficacy and Reliability of Mobile Uroflowmetry in Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Undergoing Transurethral Resection: Prospective Multicenter Observational Pilot Validation Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Accurate assessment of voiding patterns before and after surgery for lower urinary tract symptoms is critical in patient care, but it places heavy burdens on both the patient and the clinic. While methods for telemedicine have been devised, no technology for acoustic assessment of urinary patterns has been prospectively evaluated for clinical use.

Objective

This study aims to assess the precision of a mobile app-based uroflowmetry and compare it with in-office uroflowmetry measurements for the management of patients undergoing surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Methods

This study was designed as a prospective, multicenter, observational pilot validation study conducted at 3 tertiary centers. A total of 46 patients with BPH who had no
