Description:

The first large population-based study to evaluate lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in Poland. The study objective is to assess the prevalence and bother of LUTS in the population aged ≥40 years in Poland.

This study will be conducted as a telephone survey with assessment of LUTS using a standardized protocol, which included the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and, for overactive bladder (OAB), the OAB-V8 questionnaire. Participants will be asked to rate how often they experienced individual LUTS and the degree of associated bother.

The study will be performed in a representative group of Polish population (n = 6,000) covering all geographic regions of Poland (defined by the Central Statistical Office of Poland).

Primary	Prevalence of LUTS	The prevalence of LUTS will be assessed using definitions of the International Continence Society (descriptive statistics).	Through study completion, an average of 3 months
Primary	Symptom bother of LUTS	The degree of associated bother will be assessed using Likert scale (Likert scale: not at all [score 0], a little bit [score 1], somewhat [score 2], quite a bit [score 3], a great deal [score 4], or a very great deal [score 5]).	Through study completion, an average of 3 months
Secondary	Prevalence of specific symptoms	The prevalence of specific symptoms will be assessed using a standardised protocol based on the definitions provided by the International Continence Society (i.e. storage symptoms, voiding symptoms and post-micturition symptoms) [Abrams P, Cardozo L, Fall M, et al.
