Visual Analogue Score for Urinary Symptoms-VASUS, validation of a visual scale for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in an African country.

VASUS is a visual alternative to IPSS allowing evaluation of LUTS and having correlation with IPSS and flowmetry. Its use in developing countries with low levels of literacy will be an asset. The authors believe that widespread use of a scale such as VASUS in urology consultations is warranted, to increase daily practice objectification of LUTS.
