DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE FOR QUALITY OF LIFE OF PATIENTS SUFFERING GENITAL INFECTIONS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01N33/48 G01N33/569 G01N33/571 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: genital pathology is diagnosed by microscopy of a clinical material of genital secretion; questionnaire survey is conducted, and total value is calculated. It is added by determining a patient's infectivity index (PII) by formula wherein: cL is a relation of one-field leukocyte count at a certain moment, cL1, cL2, cL3 are average three-field leukocyte counts at a certain moment. It is followed by calculation of a quality of life index by formula: wherein OI is the observed incidence of the given pathology, absolute numbers calculated by formula wherein PII is the patient's infectivity index, N is total number of the patients with specific smear cells, CI is a correction for the incidence (equal to 0.1), OSA is observed sexual activity (number of intercourse partners), CSA is a correction for sexual activity (equal to 0.001), k is total quality of life index, points. The HIQLSTi values within the range [0-0.15] enables diagnosing a very low quality of life index; the value HIQL_sti [0.16-0.35] shows a low quality of life index; the value HIQL_STI [0.36-0.85] presents an average quality of life index; and a high quality of life index is shown by the value HIQL_sti [0.86≥1.0].

EFFECT: method improvement.
