A new system for obtaining accurate and stable urine flow data was developed, in which patients have a key role in recording their own urinary flow data. Flow curves and urination data are recorded on an integrated circuit card, which the patient carries in a pocket. Before urinating, the patient inserts the card into the system. Urination data are recorded automatically. The card can record up to 14 days worth of urination data. A personal computer then calculates and prints all of the flow curves including maximum flow rate, average flow rate, voided volume, duration time, hesitation time, and date and time of urination. This system is useful for detecting subtle changes in urination patterns. Typical circadian rhythms for urination can also be recorded. With this integrated circuit card system the clinical course under alpha-blocker administration could be precisely monitored.
开发了一种用于获取准确且稳定尿流数据的新系统，其中患者在记录自身尿流数据方面发挥关键作用。尿流曲线和排尿数据记录在一张集成电路卡上，患者将卡放在口袋里随身携带。排尿前，患者将卡插入系统。排尿数据会自动记录。该卡最多可记录14天的排尿数据。然后由个人计算机计算并打印所有尿流曲线，包括最大流速、平均流速、排尿量、持续时间、犹豫时间以及排尿日期和时间。该系统有助于检测排尿模式的细微变化。典型的排尿昼夜节律也可被记录。通过这种集成电路卡系统，可以精确监测α受体阻滞剂给药后的临床病程。
