Abstract
Objectives: Our objective was determination of the correlation between mean
bladder wall thickness and mean IPSS in BPH diagnosed patients. Study Design: Cross
sectional study. Setting: Department of Urology & Renal Transplantation, Punjab Medical
College / Allied Hospital, Faisalabad. Period: Six months from 01-04-2016 to 30-09-2016.
Material & Methods: Total 70 patients were enrolled for study from outpatient department of
Urology, AHF. IPSS was calculated and recorded. Transabdominal ultrasound KUB was done
to measure bladder wall thickness. Urine complete examination and culture was done to rule
out UTI. Existence of bladder tumor was ruled out by previous history and ultrasonography.
The data was collected on a Proforma by myself. Results: Out of 70 enrolled cases, 47.14%
(n=33) were aged 50-60 years whereas 52.86% (n=37) were 61-70 years of age. Mean age
was calculated as 61.27+5.31 years. Mean Bladder Wall thickness was 3.64+0.72 and IPSS
was calculated to be 12.84+2.79 (r0.9056). Correlation between mean bladder wall thickness
and mean IPSS in patients having benign prostatic hyperplasia was calculated as significant.
Conclusion: In patients suffering from BOO due to BPH, we have found a very strong positive
correlation between mean IPSS and mean BWT.
