Patient subjective descriptions of micturition habits using the American Urological Association (AUA) symptom index were compared with uroflowmetry recordings obtained during a 24-hour period.
In a prospective study, the AUA questionnaire was given twice to 42 men. All micturitions during a typical 24-hour period were continuously recorded by a home uroflowmetry system. Daytime frequency, strength and intermittency of the stream, and nocturia were calculated from the recorded data, which were correlated with the matching questionnaire answers.
Except for nocturia, there was no correlation between the answers and recorded findings.
Men are unable to quantify correctly their own clinical status. The study results cast doubt on the validity of the self-administered AUA survey to reflect clinical micturition.
使用美国泌尿外科学会（AUA）症状指数对患者排尿习惯的主观描述与24小时内获得的尿流率记录进行比较。
在一项前瞻性研究中，对42名男性进行了两次AUA问卷调查。通过家庭尿流率系统连续记录典型24小时内的所有排尿情况。根据记录数据计算白天排尿频率、尿流强度和间歇性以及夜尿症，并将其与相应的问卷调查答案进行关联。
除夜尿症外，答案与记录结果之间无相关性。
男性无法正确量化自身的临床状况。该研究结果对自行填写的AUA调查反映临床排尿情况的有效性提出了质疑。
