[A computer program for the support of the treatment-diagnosis process for patients with benign prostatic...

The computer program "Prostate" (Windows, 1.0 version) is designed to assist the urologist in: objective assessment of the lower urinary tract in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), accumulation and storage of information on the patients (data file), comparison (text, graphics) with previous data to control the course of the disease, treatment efficacy, to refer to international recommendations and recent advances in the treatment of both BPH and its complications. The status of the lower urinary tract is to be described basing on the IPSS and QOL tables, PSA findings, rhythm of spontaneous uresis, uroflowmetry, residual urine, prostate size, laboratory and microbiological urinalysis. The program "Prostate" is a new step in medical recording and efficacy of BPH treatment assessment in urology.
