AB  - We studied uroflowmetry in 25 normal adult males and 100 patients with benign 
      prostate hypertrophy (BPH). We planned a new parameter, named average flow rate 
      increase ratio (AFRIR), based on urinary flow rate curve. One hundred patients 
      with BPH were measured presumed circle area ratio (PCAR) based on transrectal 
      ultrasonotomography and performed comparative studies. AFRIR was not related to 
      voided volume of urine (VV). Although AFRIR in 100 patients with BPH was not 
      significantly different from that in 25 normal adults males, AFRIR in 20 patients 
      with BPH, needing surgical operation, was significantly lower than that in 25 
      males. We considered that AFRIR was useful for deciding on the surgical operation 
      and these levels were below 1.5 ml/sec2. AFRIR was correlated well with maximum 
      flow rate (MFR), average flow rate (AFR), MFR/VV x 100, AFR/VV x 100, PCAR and 
      Area, respectively. PCAR correlated well with MFR/VV x 100 and AFR/VV x 100, 
      respectively. Area correlated well with MFR, MFR/VV x 100, respectively. From 
      these results, it was presumed that AFRIR was reflected clearly to the condition 
      of urine voiding.
