Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2018020197A1] A method of clinical assessment of a patient is provided, primarily for the evaluation and diagnosis of lower urinary tract conditions. The method comprises the collection of urine voided by the patient at each micturition of the patient over a predetermined number of days. At each micturition the urine is collected in a single- use, disposable container (2) and the weight of the urine voided is measured and recorded in an electronic device (3), which also records the time and date of the aforementioned measurement, prior to disposal of said urine. Apparatus comprising said single-use, disposable container (2) and said electronic device (3) is also provided. The disposable container (2) is adapted for directly collecting urine voided by the patient and the electronic device (3) is adapted to measure and record the weight of said disposable container and its contents together with the time and date whereby the volume of urine voided at each micturition is calculated and recorded along with the time and date of said micturition. Preferably, the disposable container (2) comprises a biodegradable, water-resistant bag (4). This enables the disposable container and its contents to be hygienically disposed of after every micturition.
