Increasing Decision Quality for Men With Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

In this study, the investigators show that by upskilling of primary care physicians (PCPs) in SDM and leveraging on a novel pictorial Visual Analogue Uroflowmetry Score (VAUS), they can enhance older men's recognition of LUTS and stimulated discussion with their PCPs.

Clinical Trial Description

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), often related to prostatomegaly, is common but seldom sought medical attention amongst older men. Visual-aid and shared decision-making (SDM) are potential solutions to address LUTS. The study aimed to determine the effect of a novel pictorial Visual Analogue Uroflowmetry Score (VAUS) and primary care physicians (PCP) SDM training on the decisional quality amongst men selecting their treatment options for LUTS. This study recruited 60 multi-ethnic Asian men aged ≥50 years with moderate-to-severe LUTS (International Prostate Symptoms Score≥8 and/or QOL≥3) in a Singapore public primary care clinic. Men used the VAUS to report their symptoms. 60 men were randomly assigned to PCPs trained in SDM in the intervention group (n=30) and the other 30 to the control group (PCPs without SDM-training). Patient-physician dyad decision quality was measured using the validated SDMQ-9 (patient) and SDMQ-Doc (physician) questionnaires. ;
