Referrals (N = 126) for LUTS (lower urinary tract symptoms) in men over 40 years of age were scrutinized. Descriptions regarding symptom duration, type and intensity were unsatisfactory in 25% of the forms. Not a single work-up prior to referral was completed in accordance with the established protocol. One quarter of the men had previously been referred for LUTS.
