Recently developed International Prostate Symptom Score(IK-PSS) is higdhly recommanded fro the evaluation of urinary symptoms in benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) and many linguitic translations have been made. English version of I-PSS was
translated
into Korean. Three groups of urologists and ordinary people participated for the translation and back-translation of I-PSS. A Korean version was finalzed and translation validity was assessed by a suvery with 48 English speaking Korean aged men.
Test-redtest reliability was confirmed by an anotehr questionnaire survey with 76 aged men. Translation of I-PSS into Korean was valid. The I-PSSA Korean version was internally consistent and sensitive as well as specific for the discrimination
of
symptomatic groups. Also test-retest reliability was acceptable.
