Clinical noticeEducational support for lower urinary tract symptom quantification only. Interpret with clinical context, patient goals, and current local guidance.

Total AUA-SI/IPSS = vaciado incompleto + frecuencia + intermitencia + urgencia + chorro débil + esfuerzo + nicturia

Each symptom item contributes 0-5 points. The optional quality-of-life item stays separate and is never added to the 0-35 symptom total.

The questionnaire is shown in its original English wording. For clinical use in another language, use a validated questionnaire version for that language.
