Han CH, et al. - Researchers performed a population-based study of males (aged ≥19 years) to investigate the association between asthma severity and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) using the International Prostate Symptom Score. In addition, they evaluated voiding and urine storage symptoms. In this cross-sectional study, 101,848 male (2544 of these had asthma) participants in the 2011 Korean Community Health Survey were included. The asthma group showed significantly higher urine storage symptoms (frequency, urgency, and nocturia) and voiding symptoms (straining, a weak stream, intermittency, and incomplete emptying) than the non­asthma group. In addition, the asthma group had significantly more common moderate and severe LUTS than the nonasthma group. Findings thus suggest the necessity for more aggressive urological diagnosis and treatment for patients with asthma.
