[Adaptation and validation in the French language of the International Score of Symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy].
The International Prostate Symptom Score, which was proposed during the First Consultation on Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in June 1991, was culturally adapted and linguistically validated in French. In a first step, the English version, adapted from the questionnaire developed by the American Urological Association, was translated into French. In a second step, the French version was submitted to a multidisciplinary group who made linguistic improvements. In a third step, the refined version was tested in 30 persons and amended. Finally, the questionnaire was submitted to a linguistic validation study in a representative sample of 100 men aged 65 to 80. The use of this index will allow standardized measurements of urinary symptoms status in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
