The International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) is one of the most trusted clinical tools for assessing urinary symptoms in men, particularly those caused by Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and other lower urinary tract conditions.
Now available in a digital, HIPAA-compliant format through Zentake, this essential assessment can be completed, stored, and analyzed entirely online. Zentake’s platform removes the inefficiencies of paper-based forms — providing faster, more accurate, and secure patient data management.
With Zentake’s digital I-PSS form, clinicians can quickly evaluate symptoms, track progress, and ensure better decision-making — all while maintaining the highest standards of data protection.
The I-PSS was developed by the American Urological Association (AUA) as a simple yet effective way to measure lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). It provides an objective method for evaluating how urinary problems affect a patient’s daily life.
The questionnaire includes seven questions related to urinary symptoms such as frequency, urgency, weak stream, straining, and nocturia, plus one question that evaluates quality of life. Each response is rated on a scale from 0 to 5, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 35.
A higher score indicates more severe symptoms, allowing healthcare professionals to determine the best course of treatment — whether that means lifestyle changes, medication, or surgical options.
This standardized approach ensures that patient assessments are consistent, measurable, and easy to interpret, regardless of setting or practitioner.
Urinary symptoms related to BPH and LUTS are common among men, especially as they age. The I-PSS helps quantify these symptoms in a way that’s both clinically valid and patient-friendly.
