  1. Median is reported for continuous variables, while number of observations is reported for categorical variables. Inter-Quartile Range (IQR) and percentages are reported in brackets, as appropriate. IPSS: International Prostate Symptom score; QoL: Quality of Life; WBC: white blood cells; HPF: high power field; RBC: red blood cells, Qmax: maximum urinary flow rate at uroflowmetry; PVR: post-voiding residual volume
