Describe the relationship between prostatic volume (PV) and participants’ age, body mass index (BMI), renal ultrasonographic findings, and clinical findings.
Explain how prostatic volume (PV) was measured using transabdominal ultrasonography and the ellipsoid formula.
Summarize the statistical associations between prostatic volume (PV) and participants’ age, body mass index (BMI), renal ultrasonographic findings, and clinical findings.
What was the primary objective of the study? A. To correlate prostatic volume (PV) with age, body mass index (BMI), renal ultrasonographic findings, and clinical symptoms B. To compare magnetic resonance imaging and transrectal ultrasonography measurements of the prostate C. To evaluate treatment outcomes of benign prostatic hyperplasia D. To determine prostate cancer staging accuracy
Which imaging approach was used to estimate prostatic volume (PV) in this study? A. Transrectal ultrasonography B. Transabdominal ultrasonography C. Magnetic resonance imaging D. Computed tomography
Which formula is used to calculate prostatic volume (PV)? A. Length × width × height B. Length × width × height × 1.0 C. Length × width × height × 0.523 D. Length × width × height × 0.75
What was the patient positioning during the ultrasound examination? A. Supine B. Left lateral decubitus C. Prone D. Lithotomy
Which clinical symptom was most frequently reported among participants? A. Dysuria B. Incomplete bladder emptying C. Loin/Lower back pain D. Hematuria
Which variable demonstrated the strongest statistical association with PV? A. Body mass index (BMI) B. Age C. Renal ultrasonographic findings D. Clinical symptoms
Which statistical methods were used to evaluate the relationship between PV and the study variables? A. T-test and ANOVA only B. Logistic regression only C. Kaplan-Meier analysis D. Chi-square test, Pearson’s correlation, and univariate regression analysis
