World Health Organization Consensus Committee recommendations concerning the diagnosis of BPH.
The expert committees, which met in Paris in June 1991 under the patronage of WHO to establish a consensus concerning BPH, adopted the recommendations summarised in this report. Despite certain criticisms which can be made, these recommendations offer the advantage of simplicity and uniformity, thereby constituting a "universal language". This will facilitate comparison of patients and therapeutic results, both in everyday practice and in the course of clinical trials. These recommendations will be periodically re-evaluated in the light of clinical experience and technological progress.
