Clinical Decision-Making in Overactive Bladder and Benign Prostatic Obstruction

began his session by providing a brief background on LUTS, a common complaint in an increasingly ageing male population.The objectives in assessing men with LUTS are to establish a differential diagnosis and define their clinical profile in order to assess patients' values and preferences, set their expectations, identify those at risk of progression, and provide the best evidence-based care.To provide a real-life example, Averbeck described a clinical case of a 64-yearold man with a history of benign prostatic enlargement diagnosed 10 years earlier, whose main complaint was mixed LUTS.The patient presented with bothersome urinary urgency, with a urinary frequency of 15 times a day and 2-3 times a night.The patient also had co-morbid systemic arterial hypertension, managed with losartan 50 mg/day.
