A new BPH 3-item questionnaire has recently been developed and published, and it may serve as a screening tool for male-LUTS due to symptomatic BPE. The questionnaire consists of only three items. A raw score ranging from 0 to 5 is assigned to each of the items, giving a final total score varying from 0 (no symptom) to 15 (very symptomatic). This questionnaire has been translated and validated into five different European languages and was harmonized cross-culturally for linguistic validation, followed by psychometric accuracy testing.~This new questionnaire may help rationalize more early commencement of therapy aimed at reducing the prostate size for the treatment of male LUTS due to BPE.
This study is to linguistically and psychometrically validate the translated and culturally adapted Hong Kong Chinese version of the BPH 3-item questionnaire.
