What is the international prostate symptom score (I-PSS)?
The International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) is used in the assessment of lower urinary tract symptoms in men (LUTS).1 It is reliable, repeatable and has validity and has been translated into many languages.2 3 4 There are also smartphone applications.5
The tool is free to use and widely available.6
Contents of the I-PSS
There are seven questions about urological symptoms including:
Incomplete emptying.
Frequency.
Intermittency.
Urgencia.
Strength of stream.
Straining.
Nocturia.
Each reply generates a score which generates a total. This is a useful, standardised tool for assessing the severity of the symptoms.

Development of the I-PSS
The I-PSS was originally based on the American Urological Association seven-item symptom score (AUA-7).7 The 'quality of life' question was added by the World Health Organization when it was adopted by the International Consensus Committee as an international questionnaire for evaluating prostatic symptoms.
Although the single 'quality of life' question may not capture the full impact of prostate symptoms, it can be used as a starting point for a doctor-patient discussion on management.
