- W2183503475 abstract "2 Abstract: The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of ultrasound for early detection of Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) at Chitungwiza Central Hospital. A total of 60 participants were enrolled in this study and there are three sets of data that were conducted; the prostate volume, blood Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) levels as well as a completed questionnaire for assessing symptoms of BPH. The study concluded that there is a high prevalence of undiagnosed benign prostatic hypertrophy amongst the population of Chitungwiza at 60% of the study population. Age was the greatest risk factor in the development of BPH. A weak positive correlation existed between the measured prostate volume and the prostate specific antigen (PSA) measured in blood (R=0.441) making PSA a weak predictor of prostate volume. Strong positive correlations exist however between the prostate volume and the symptom severity (R=0.617, p=0.000) and quality of life index (R=0.658, p=0.000) thereby making prostate volume measured by ultrasound a good predictor of symptom severity and quality of life. Age was positively correlated with BPH prevalence, symptom score (R=0.670, p=0.000) and quality of life (R=0.701, p=0.000). The study revealed that the use of ultrasound scan combined with the international prostate scoring sheet (IPSS) is necessary for routine screening for the early detection of BPH." @default.
