Dr. Clemens described the projects that the network has undertaken since 2012, including a longitudinal cohort study with a goal enrollment of 500 men and 500 women, with the collection of clinical information, patient-reported outcome measures, and biosamples. He outlined the goals of subtyping those with lower urinary tract symptoms, but also provided valuable insight into normal and abnormal lower urinary tract functions.
Dr. Clemens also reported on the development of the Comprehensive Assessment of Self-Reported Urinary Symptoms, a 56-item instrument that is designed to be a comprehensive tool to evaluate patients with lower urinary tract symptoms in further studies.
