Article Synopsis
- Prostatic inflammation plays a key role in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), prompting the Prostatic Inflammation Nomogram Study (PINS) to create a tool for predicting inflammation presence in affected men.
- The study involved 423 men aged 40 and older, across various European countries, examining factors like prostate volume, urinary infections, and diabetes to assess inflammation severity using a logistic regression model.
- The resulting nomogram showed promising predictive ability with a concordance index of 0.71, indicating useful internal validity for detecting prostatic inflammation in clinical settings.
