title: A high risk factor score in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
abstract: To evaluate high risk factors in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia, a scoring system has been devised which includes associated medical diseases and such complications as retention, infection and uraemia. A score of 1 to 3 was given for each high risk factor. Patients with a total score of 1 to 3 were regarded as grade 1, 4 to 6 as grade II and more than 7 as grade III. Three hundred and fifty cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia were evaluated and the patients' hospital stay, complications and mortality compared.
