Study Details

Brief summary:

The goal of this project is to use newly developed patient-reported outcomes to improve the clinical care of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The use of new patient-centered tools will improve evaluation and clinical decision-making by including symptoms not commonly measured in men, such as urinary incontinence, and allow for more frequent assessment of lower urinary tract symptoms through remote surveillance. Through the use of care-coordination checklists, clinicians can be more responsive to post-treatment symptom changes, resulting in reduced bother from lower urinary tract symptoms and higher quality of life in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
