What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Clinical Progression

    Clinical progression was identified as the occurrence of acute urinary retention and/or surgery as identified by relevant Common Procedure Terminology (CPT) procedure codes and International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-9CM diagnosis codes.

    Measured: Day 1 of a 1-day study

  2. Number of Participants With Acute Urinary Retention

    Acute urinary retention was identified by relevant CPT procedure codes and ICD-9CM diagnosis codes.

    Measured: Day 1 of a 1-day study

  3. Number of Participants Who Needed Prostate-Related Surgery

    Prostate-related surgery was identified by relevant CPT procedure codes and ICD-9CM diagnosis codes.

    Measured: Day 1 of a 1-day study

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Total BPH-related Costs

    All costs related to BPH were defined by claims costs associated with a ICD-9CM diagnosis code for BPH (222.2, 600.xx).

    Measured: Day 1 of a 1-day study

  2. BPH-related Medical Costs

    Medical costs related to BPH were defined by claims costs associated with a ICD-9CM diagnosis code for BPH (222.2, 600.xx).

    Measured: Day 1 of a 1-day study

  3. BPH-related Pharmacy Costs

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostatic Hyperplasia, run by GlaxoSmithKline.

Who may be eligible to take part?

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Clinical Progression (time frame: Day 1 of a 1-day study). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
