Prostatic inflammation is an important etiological component of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)1. Prostate inflammation is currently detected during prostate biopsy1.

This calculator transcribes into a user-friendly digital tool the nomogramme published by Pr Gravas s, et al. Development and validation of a clinical nomogram to predict prostatic inflammation in men with lower urinary tract symptoms. Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis. 2024 Jul 61.

Components of the PINS nomogram1

According to the Irani score, this nomogram incorporates clinical biomarkers to estimate the likelihood of prostate inflammation:

Application and advantages of the PINS nomogram

The PINS nomogram aims to estimate a probability of prostatic inflammation based on clinical biomarkers that are familiar to urologists.

This tool/application is a nomogram, a mathematical tool that can allow clinicians, researchers, to give relative context and probabilities related to the presence of prostatic inflammation. This tool is not intended for diagnostic purpose.

The anonymous data entered, and the results from the calculator, will be collected by Pierre Fabre Médicament with the aim of continuously improving the application.
These data could also be used in the future to determine new factors of prostatic inflammation during a real-world study.
