Altering disease progression: the key to successful patient management

Assessing the patient’s expectations may yield some insight into more effective management techniques. A group of 230 men referred by their primary-care physicians with symptoms of benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) responded to a questionnaire before seeing a urologist and detailed their evaluation and treatment expectations (J. Nordling, unpublished data). Participants detailed on a visual scale (0–100), from ‘no importance’ to ‘very important’, their degree of concern associated with the different aspects of their condition.
