Does digital rectal examination affect uroflowmetry measurements?
We could not find any effect of DRE on uroflowmetry parameters. Studies in a larger patient series would be appropriate for recommending DRE before or after uroflowmetry test.
The likelihood of conversion to CAC>0 increases with increasing TAC scores. TAC ≥ 100 is an independent predictor of CAC conversion. Subjects with CAC = 0 and extensive TAC (TAC ≥ 100) may merit earlier repeat scanning than those with no TAC or lower TAC scores.
