A total of 118 patients on a waiting list for a transurethral prostatectomy, who had been selected primarily on the basis of their symptoms and the finding of an enlarged prostate, were reassessed by objective tests. Of the 107 finally studied, 44% were retained on the waiting list and a further 8% kept under review; 48% were discharged from any further follow-up. The study reinforces the importance of objectively assessing patients presenting with urinary symptoms.
共有118名等待经尿道前列腺切除术的患者，这些患者主要是根据症状和前列腺肿大的检查结果入选的，现通过客观测试进行重新评估。在最终研究的107名患者中，44%仍留在等待名单上，另有8%仍在接受审查；48%不再进行进一步随访。该研究强化了客观评估出现泌尿系统症状患者的重要性。
