METHOD FOR GROUPING INDIVIDUALS IN ACCORDANCE WITH INCREASED RISK OF BLADDER CANCER Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC A61B5/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: individuals being examined are interviewed. An individual prediction chart of potential risk of bladder cancer containing oncoepidemiological risk factors is filled in. Each risk factor has its weight coefficient k_rf. The risk factors are grouped with each group having its coefficient k_gr. A risk factor weight coefficient is specified for each person being examined. A product of the risk factor weight coefficients for each person being examined and the group coefficient k_rf×k_gr is derived. The patient is referred to the group of risk of bladder cancer according to a risk indicator I. The risk indicator I is defined as a total product k_rf×k_gr, added to constant 1.63. If the risk indicator I has a negative value, the risk of bladder cancer is considered to take place. The risk indicator I having a positive value is associated with no risk.

EFFECT: method enables the reliable and accessible selection of the individual having the risk of bladder cancer by identifying the most risk factors of bladder cancer, taking into account individual's personality traits, combinations of risk factors and an importance of each of the factors separately.
