New words for old: lower urinary tract symptoms for “prostatism”
Open accessAbstract
New words for old: lower urinary tract symptoms for "prostatism" Avoids spurious suggestion ofdiagnostic accuracy Extraordinary interest currently exists in the treatment of men over 45 who are referred with the label "prostatism."This has been generated partly by commercial interest and patients' increased awareness and expectations and partly by the advent of new treatments.Several new drugs to relieve bladder outflow obstruction, including ao adrenergic blockers and 5-a reductase inhibitors, have been or are about to be licensed.Drug companies have expended huge efforts in increasing patients' and doctors' awareness of prostatic disease.New techniques to destroy part or all of the prostate have been developed, including thermotherapy, thermal ablation, high intensity focused ultrasonography, transurethral needle ablation, and laser prostatectomy.Added to this are the techniques of intraurethral prostatic stenting and balloon dilatation ofthe prostate.'Surveys have shown that urinary symptoms are very common in older men, with prevalences varying from 11% for straining up to 78% for nocturia.'Interestingly, British and

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
