The first large population-based study to evaluate lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in Poland. The study objective is to assess the prevalence and bother of LUTS in the population aged ≥40 years in Poland.
This study will be conducted as a telephone survey with assessment of LUTS using a standardized protocol, which included the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and, for overactive bladder (OAB), the OAB-V8 questionnaire. Participants will be asked to rate how often they experienced individual LUTS and the degree of associated bother.
The study will be performed in a representative group of Polish population (n = 6,000) covering all geographic regions of Poland (defined by the Central Statistical Office of Poland).

| Prevalence of LUTS | The prevalence of LUTS will be assessed using definitions of the International Continence Society (descriptive statistics). | Through study completion, an average of 3 months |
| Symptom bother of LUTS | The degree of associated bother will be assessed using Likert scale (Likert scale: not at all [score 0], a little bit [score 1], somewhat [score 2], quite a bit [score 3], a great deal [score 4], or a very great deal [score 5]). | Through study completion, an average of 3 months |

| Prevalence of specific symptoms | The prevalence of specific symptoms will be assessed using a standardised protocol based on the definitions provided by the International Continence Society (i.e. storage symptoms, voiding symptoms and post-micturition symptoms) [Abrams P, Cardozo L, Fall M, et al. The standardisation of terminology of lower urinary tract function: report from the Standardisation Sub-committee of the International Continence Society. Neurourol Urodyn. 2002;21:167-178]. Participants will be asked to rate how often they experienced individual LUTS during the past month. A Likert scale will be used with the following options: none (score 0), <1 in 5 times (score 1), <half the time (score 2), about half the time (score 3), >half the time (score 4), or almost always (score 5). |
