תקציר	The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is a validated seven-item self-report instrument adopted by the World Health Organization and American Urological Association to measure the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men with suspected benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The IPSS comprises items assessing frequency of nocturia, urgency, weak stream, hesitancy, intermittency, and incomplete emptying over the past month. It is the gold standard measure for BPH symptom severity assessment in clinical practice and research.	The Oxford Knee Score (OKS) is a brief, validated self-report questionnaire developed by Murray and colleagues at the University of Oxford in 1998 to measure outcomes following knee replacement surgery. The OKS comprises 12 items assessing knee pain, knee-related functional limitations, and quality of life in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. It is the primary patient-reported outcome measure for knee replacement in international orthopedic research and clinical practice.
