title: [Benign prostatic hypertrophy. Optimized diagnosis].
abstract: The optimal diagnostics of B.P.H. must be efficient, cheap and of spare invasiveness either physical than psychological. The optimization of diagnosis is the obtainment of high quality in the services provided, matched to a correct and shrewd utilisation of resources. To optimise a diagnosis efficiency is necessary, which means the largest degree of standardization of diagnostical procedures, with responsible management of economical factors. A course of standardization, cause his excessive simplification, cannot shared to a lot of Urologists, because in their opinion there is a risk to lose informations in every single patient, but is essential to use a universal language that make easy the comparison with patients and with results whether in order to clinics or trails. The standardisation of diagnostics consists to obtain the maximum of informations from present methodology and that is possible to realize in two way: improving the technique of execution and including the diagnostic test in the appropriate point of algorithm.
