Bladder lesion commonly occurs in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and the routine screening of bladder lesion is vital for its timely detection and treatment, in which the risk of bladder lesion progression can be effectively alleviated. However, current clinical methods are inconvenient for routine screening. In this study, we proposed a convenient routine screening method to diagnose bladder lesions based on several clinical risk factors, which can be obtained through non-invasive, easy-to-operate, and low-cost examinations. The contribution of each clinical risk factor was further quantitatively analyzed to understand their impact on diagnostic decision-making. Based on a cohort study of 253 BPH patients with or without bladder lesions, the proposed diagnostic model achieved high accuracy using these clinical risk factors. Bladder compliance, maximum flow rate (Qmax), prostate specific antigen (PSA), and postvoid residual (PVR) were identified as the four most important clinical risk factors. To the best of our knowledge, this is the innovative research to predict bladder lesions based on the risk factors and quantitatively reveal their contributions to diagnostic decision-making. The proposed model has the potential to serve as an effective routine screening tool for bladder lesions in BPH patients, enabling early intervention to prevent lesion progression and improve the quality of life.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
