Abstract
UWIN is as effective in capturing LUTS as the gold-standard AUASI in spite of three questions of AUASI being omitted in UWIN. Severity of obstructive and irritative nature of LUTS and quality of life are interpreted similar to AUASI. UWIN is easier to comprehend and rapid, needing lesser assistance even with lower educational status.
