In this study, we have developed a prototype of clinical decision support systems (CDSS) for diagnosing neurogenic bladder and compared its predicted diagnoses with the actual diagnoses using 92 patient\`s Urodynamic study cases. The CDSS was developed using a Visual Basic based on the evidence-based rules extracted from guidelines and other references regarding a diagnosis of neurogenic bladder. To compare with the 92 final diagnoses made by doctors at the Yonsei Rehabilitation Center, we classified all diagnoses into 5 groups. The predictive rates of the CDSS were: 48.0% for areflexic neurogenic bladder; 60.0% for hyperreflexic neurogenic bladder in a spinal shock recovery stage; 72.9% for hyperreflexic neurogenic bladder, and 80.0% for areflexic neurogenic bladder in a spinal shock stage, which was the highest predicted rate. There were only 2 cases for hyperreflexic neurogenic bladder in a well controlled detrusor activity, and its predictive rate was 0%. The study results showed that CDSS for diagnosing neurogenic bladder could provide a helpful advice on decision-making for doctors. The findings also suggest that physicians should be involved in all development stages to ensure that systems are developed in a fashion that maximizes their beneficial effect on patient care, and that systems are acceptable to both professionals and patients. The future studies will concentrate on including more validating the system.

The purpose of this case study is to report the effect of electroacupuncture at acupoints Baliao (BL31 Shangliao, BL32 Ciliao, BL33 Zhongliao, BL34 Xialiao) on patients with voiding problem. Neurogenic Bladder can be classified according to whether impairment of urinary reservoir or emptying. The first case was a patient with urinary emptying impairment. He was diagnosed with areflexic neurogenic bladder, and was managed with suprapubic cystostomy. After starting of electroacupuncture on Baliao, residual urine volume was gradually decreased, at last cystostomy could be removed. The second case was a patient with urinary reservoir impairment. She complained symptoms of urinary frequency, nocturia due to overactive bladder. After starting of electroacupuncture on Baliao, urination frequency was significantly decreased. We consider electroacupuncture on Baliao may have a useful effect on voiding problem, both urinary reservoir and emptying impairment.
