Abstract | PURPOSE: MATERIALS AND METHODS: RESULTS: Efficacy analysis included 57 patients on combination therapy and 60 on monotherapy. The change in I-PSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) after randomization was -0.7 and -0.6 in the combination therapy and monotherapy groups, respectively. The bladder outlet obstruction index changed from 46.1 to 41.8 in the combination therapy group and from 42.9 to 39.9 in the monotherapy group. No significant differences in subjective symptoms and bladder outlet obstruction were observed between the 2 groups. However, storage function decreased in the monotherapy group and lower urinary tract symptoms deteriorated significantly after the switch to dutasteride monotherapy in patients with a higher body mass index.
