PURPOSE: We compared the prevalence and bother of lower urinary tract symptoms in adults treated for @entity340 in childhood and population based controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Questionnaires were mailed to @entity1 18 years and older treated at our institution for @entity340 . Of the 124 @entity1 68 (64.2%) participated, 18 were unavailable and 38 did not participate. Age and sex matched controls were randomly identified from a population based study (response proportion 62.4%). Danish Prostatic Symptom Score was used to assess occurrence (never/rarely/often/always) and bother (none/small/moderate/major) of 12 different lower urinary tract symptoms. Chi-square test was used for the analyses stratified by @entity1 /control status, with the 4-point ordinal scale as the outcome. RESULTS: Median age of 68 @entity1 with @entity340 and 272 controls (ratio 1:4) was 38.5 years (range 18 to 57). Overall, at least 1 moderate or severe lower urinary tract symptom was reported by 32.4% of @entity1 with @entity340 and 15.8% of controls (p=0.002). Mild hesitancy, weak stream, incomplete emptying and straining were reported twice as often by @entity1 with @entity340 as by controls (p<0.05). Prevalence of any urgency @entity322 (14.7% vs 4.8%, p=0.014) and any @entity3142 (11.8% vs 3.0%, p=0.005) was increased at least 3-fold in @entity1 with @entity340 compared to controls. Furthermore, prevalence of bother from several lower urinary tract symptoms was increased approximately 2-fold in @entity1 with @entity340 compared to controls (p<0.05). However, most @entity1 and controls reported no or small bother. CONCLUSIONS: In adulthood the occurrence and bother of most lower urinary tract symptoms are increased approximately 2-fold in @entity1 with @entity340 compared to the general population. However, in this cohort of young and middle-aged @entity1 most symptoms are mild.
