Multivariate analysis of long-term outcomes of storage symptom improvement in elderly patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia after GreenLight laser vaporization / 中华老年医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between preoperative urodynamic parameters and the improvement of overactive bladder (OAB)symptoms after GreenLight laser vaporization,and to explore prognostic factors for improvement of OAB symptoms in the elderly.Methods A retrospective study was conducted in 100 benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)patients undergoing GreenLight laser vaporization at the Department of Urology of Beijing Hospital from July 2015 to March 2017.All patients completed a preoperative urodynamic examination and received GreenLight laser vaporization.Clinical data including age,prostate-specific antigen (PSA),prostate volume,international prognostic scoring system(IPSS),overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS),quality of life(QOL)and urodynamic parameters were collected.The related factors for improvement of OAB symptoms after GreenLight laser vaporization were analyzed by a binary Logistic regression analysis.Results All patients underwent surgery successfully and completed a 12-month follow-up.Both urinary storage and voiding symptoms improved at 3 and 12 months after GreenLight laser vaporization(P＜0.05).The scores of IPSS,IPSS storage (IPSS-S),IPSS voiding (IPSS-V),OABSS and QOL and nighttime voiding frequency decreased and urinary storage and voiding symptoms improved at 3 and 12 months after GreenLight laser vaporization,compared with pre-surgery data(P＜0.05).The success rates of storage symptom improvement at 3 and 12 months after GreenLight laser vaporization were 62.0 ％ (62/100) and 68.0 ％ (68/100) evaluated by IPSS-S and 68.0 ％ (68/100) and 75.0％ (75/100)by OABSS,respectively.Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that age,detrusor contractility,residual urine volume and nighttime voiding frequency were independent influencing factors for prognosis(OR =35.714,0.352,0.110 and 0.040,P =0.000,0.027,0.018 and 0.002).Conclusions GreenLight laser vaporization is an effective method in treating BPH with OAB.Age is an independent unfavorable factor and the residual urine volume,nighttime voiding frequency and detrusor contraction are independent influencing factors for prognosis.Enough attention should be paid to these related parameters before surgery.
