Article Synopsis
- Questionnaires like the IPSS and OABSS help assess symptoms of lower urinary tract dysfunction, but many elderly patients struggle to complete them on their own.
- A study involving 32 elderly patients (mean age 82.9) aimed to identify factors making it difficult for them to fill out these questionnaires, while assessing their motor and cognitive function through various scoring methods.
- The researchers categorized patients based on their ability to complete questionnaires independently, with findings indicating varying levels of assistance needed and exploring correlations between missing responses and factors like age and cognitive function.
