The Arabic version of LURN-SI 10, and the validated Arabic versions of International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Overactive Bladder (ICIQ-OAB) questionnaires were administered for patients with LUTs. Reliability, internal consistency and concurrent validity of LURN-SI 10 were established.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      From October 2024 to February 2025, 186 patients with LUTS were enrolled. The Arabic LURN SI-10 demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach\u2019s alpha\u2009=\u20090.8; all subdomains\u2009&gt;\u20090.7). Significant positive correlations were found between LURN SI-10 with IPSS (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.780, 0.833, 0.683,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and ICIQ-OAB (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.730, 0.768, 0.674\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) for all patients, males and females respectively. Frequency, urgency, nocturia, and weak stream domains of LURN SI-10 correlated significantly with their IPSS counterparts. Frequency, nocturia, urgency, and urge urinary incontinence (UUI) correlated with ICIQ-OAB domains. Significant positive correlations were noted between pain, urgency, and other domains, including post-void dribbling (PVD), bladder pain, and bother.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Arabic LURN SI-10 is a valid and reliable tool for assessing LUTs, showing strong correlations with IPSS and ICIQ-OAB.
