N2 - Purpose: We attempted to improve the method of objective clinical evaluation of patients with benign prostatic enlargement and lower urinary tract symptoms. Materials and Methods: We compared the results of free uroflowmetry and transrectal ultrasound prostate size determination with those of pressure-flow analysis of bladder outlet obstruction in 871 consecutive elderly men. Results: Maximal flow, prostate size, and post-void residual and voided volumes were correlated with bladder outlet obstruction to derive a clinical prostate score. Conclusions: Clinical prostate score shows a superior correlation with bladder outlet obstruction than isolated objective parameters or symptom scores.
