Rationale | Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common conditions affecting older males, with a prevalence of 50% by age 60 years and 90% by the ninth decade of life (Medina et al., 1999). The enlarged gland had been proposed to contribute to the overall lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) complex (McVary et al., 2014). Although LUTS secondary to BPH is not often a life-threatening condition, the impact of LUTS/BPH on quality of life can be significant (Wei et al., 2005). The American Urological Association Symptom Index (AUA-SI) and the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) were developed to measure outcomes in studies of different treatments for BPH (Wuerstle et al., 2011). The IPSS uses the same questions as the AUA-SI, but also adds a disease-specific quality of life question (OLeary, 2005). The IPSS was adopted in 1993 by the World Health Organization. It is a reproducible, validated index designed to determine disease severity and response to therapy (D’Silva et al., 2014). It includes 3 storage symptom questions (frequency, nocturia, urgency) and four voiding symptoms (feeling of incomplete emptying, intermittency, straining, and a weak stream) as well as a Bother question: If you were to spend the rest of your life with your urinary condition just the way it is now, how would you feel about that? A three-point improvement in the score is considered meaningful (McVary et al., 2014). |
Clinical Recommendation Statement | The symptoms of BPH are lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). There are other disorders with similar symptoms that need to be excluded. History, physical examination, and testing are required prior to a diagnosis of BPH. IPSS by itself is not a reliable diagnostic tool for LUTS suggestive of BPH but serves as a quantitative measure of LUTS after the diagnosis is established (D’Silva et al., 2014). Medical and surgical interventions for BPH recommend a follow up IPSS evaluation to determine effectiveness of treatment. IPSS should be evaluated at the time of diagnosis and after definitive treatment. |
Guidance (Usage) | The IPSS is inclusive of the symptom index score and the quality of life score. The AUA-SI is the symptom index score alone and must be added to the QOL score. The AUA-SI with the QOL equals the IPSS. Both of these are the urinary symptom score. The patient must have a urinary symptom score (USS) within 1 month after initial diagnosis. If more than one USS in the initial one month, then the first USS counts. The patient must have a USS again at 6-12 months after the initial diagnosis and if more than one USS in this time frame, then the last USS counts. The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form “7”, “-7”, “7.4”, “-7.4”, “7.8912”, “0.125”, “<10”, “<10.15”, “>12000”, 1-10, 1:256. Hospitalization within 30 days of Initial BPH Diagnosis refers to a 30-day period between the end of the hospitalization and the clinical office setting BPH diagnosis. This is due to aggravating factors from hospitalization, such as bed rest, medications, surgery, and altered body functions. Symptoms of BPH include urinary frequency, urinary urgency, difficulty starting urination, weak urine stream, dribbling at the end of urination, incomplete bladder emptying. This eCQM is a patient-based measure. Telehealth encounters are not eligible for this measure because the measure requires a clinical action that cannot be conducted via telehealth. This FHIR-based measure has been derived from the QDM-based measure: CMS771v6. Please refer to the HL7 QI-Core Implementation Guide (https://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/STU6/) for more information on QI-Core and mapping recommendations from QDM to QI-Core 6 (https://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/STU6/qdm-to-qicore.html). |
