The invention disclosed herein provides a system and method for diagnosing lower urinary system conditions by receiving urodynamic data and subjective symptomatic impressions concerning a patient. The system and method then assigns weighted point values to the urodynamic data, for example, urethal pressure profiles due to sphincter contraction conditions such as urgency (2) and stress incontinence (4), and the subjective symptomatic impressions, quantifies norms for lower urinary system function, as a whole or in part, and quantifies recognized pathologies of lower urinary system conditions as degrees of departure from the norms. The system and method then determines a lower urinary system condition diagnosis of the patient, as a function of the degrees of departure from the norms, by invoking a set of rules to compare the weighted point values assigned and the quantified norms. The invention then reports the lower urinary system condition diagnosis, treatment recommendation, or further diagnostic suggestions.

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé pour le diagnostic d'affections du bas appareil urinaire. Aux fins de diagnostic, on reçoit des données urodynamiques et des impressions symptomatiques subjectives relatives à un patient. Ensuite, on affecte des éléments de pondération aux données, du type profils de pression urétrale résultant de la contraction des sphincters sous l'effet de facteurs comme la miction impérieuse (2) et l'incontinence d'effort (4), et on affecte aussi ces éléments de pondération aux impressions. L'étape suivante consiste à évaluer quantitativement des normes applicables à la fonction du bas appareil urinaire, en totalité ou en partie, et à évaluer quantitativement des pathologies reconnues du bas appareil urinaire sous la forme d'écarts par rapport aux normes. Enfin, on établit un diagnostic en fonction des écarts, sur la base d'une série de règles visant à comparer les éléments de pondération et les normes quantifiées. L'invention concerne également des recommandations liées au diagnostic et au traitement, ou bien encore des suggestions complémentaires.
