International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS)

Last reviewed 01/2018

The International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) is used in the assessment of lower urinary tract symptoms in men (LUTS).

The IPSS was orginally based on the American Urological Association seven item symptom score (AUA-7). The "quality of life" question was added by the World Health Organization when it was adopted by the International Consensus Committee as an international questionnaire for evaluating prostatic symptoms.

An online version of I-PSS is available:
