Epidemiology and risk factors for urinary tract infection in patients with spinal cord injury 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
PURPOSE: To our knowledge risk factors for urinary tract infection associated with various drainage methods in patients with spinal cord injury have never been evaluated overall in the acute period. We identified the incidence and risk factors associated with urinary tract infection in spinal cord injured patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We prospectively followed 128 patients at our spinal cord injury reference hospital for 38 months and obtained certain data, including demographic characteristics, associated factors, methods of urinary drainage, bladder type, urological complications and predisposing factors of each infection episode. Logistic regression modeling was done to analyze variables and identify risk factors that predicted urinary tract infection. RESULTS: Of 128 patients 100 (78%) were male with a mean age plus or minus standard deviation of 32 +/- 14.52 years. All patients had a nonfatal condition by McCabe and Jackson guidelines, and 47% presented with associated factors. The incidence of urinary tract infection was expressed as number episodes per 100 patients daily or person-days. The overall incidence of urinary tract infection was 0.68, while for male indwelling, clean intermittent, condom and female suprapubic catheterization, and normal voiding the rate was 2.72, 0.41, 0.36, 0. 34 and 0.06, respectively. The risk factors associated with urinary tract infection were invasive procedures without antibiotic prophylaxis, cervical injury and chronic catheterization (odds ratio 2.62, 3 and 4, respectively). Risk factors associated with repeat infection were a functional independence measure score of less than 74 and vesicoureteral reflux (odds ratio 10 and 23, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Spinal cord injured patients with complete dependence and vesicoureteral reflux are at highest risk for urinary tract infection. 相似文献

Various options exist for the management of the lower urinary tract in chronic spinal cord injury. These options include chronic indwelling catheterization, urethral sphincterotomy, and intermittent catheterization supplemented with anticholinergic agents. Sixty-four spinal cord injured patients, treated with intermittent catheterization and anticholinergic therapy, were evaluated for long-term efficacy in maintaining upper tract status and preservation or improvement in continence. Complications of therapy were also evaluated. Therapy was based upon initial urodynamic evaluation followed by limited subsequent evaluation of the urinary tract. Mean follow-up was 54 months. Only I patient developed hydronephrosis. Fifty-nine patients either became continent or experienced improved continence on therapy Eight patients required surgical procedures either to increase outlet resistance (2) or to decrease intravesical pressures (6). The most common complication of therapy was urinary tract infection. Thirty-nine infections occurred in 23 patients, 16 of which were febrile. Fifteen patients were non-compliant with treatment recommendations. The only factor related to therapeutic complications which reached statistical significance was non-compliance with therapy. The combined use of intermittent catheterization and anticholinergic agents provides an effective means to prevent hydronephrosis and establish continence in chronic spinal injury. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Effect of spinal cord abnormalities on the function of the lower urinary tract in patients with anorectal abnormalities 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
PURPOSE: We evaluated the effect of spinal cord abnormalities on lower urinary tract function in patients with anorectal abnormalities. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined 30 patients with anorectal anomalies mainly because of fecal or urinary incontinence. All patients underwent spinal magnetic resonance imaging and urodynamic investigation. RESULTS: Major lumbosacral abnormalities were detected in 57% of patients, including 13, 4 and 3 with a tethered cord, syringomyelia and caudal regression, respectively. Significant dysfunction of the lower urinary tract in 57% of the cases involved an overactive detrusor in 11, detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia in 4, distended bladder in 4 and lazy bladder in 1. When the spinal cord was normal, 54% of the patients had abnormal urodynamic findings but when the spinal cord was abnormal, 59% had abnormal urodynamics. When the bony spine was normal, 33% of the patients had an abnormal spinal cord but when the bony spine was abnormal, 69% had an abnormal spinal cord. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with anorectal abnormalities and fecal or urinary incontinence problems often have an abnormal spinal cord and abnormal urodynamic findings. However, the state of the spinal cord is not the only factor explaining lower urinary tract function. Thus, the possibility of lower urinary tract dysfunction should be considered in each patient with anorectal abnormalities. If the patient has symptoms or findings suggesting abnormal lower urinary tract function urodynamic evaluation should be performed. 相似文献

AIMS: The vast majority of spinal cord lesions cause neurogenic bladder disorders. Detrusor hyperreflexia presents a major risk factor for renal damage in these patients. We evaluated the long-term results of patients with spinal cord injury treated at our institution. METHODS: Eighty spinal cord injury patients (60 male, 20 female; mean age 29.6 years) with at least one follow-up visit a year for a minimum of five consecutive years, were included in this retrospective analysis. Follow-up included urodynamic evaluation, sonography of the upper and lower urinary tract, urine examination, and evaluation of renal function. Treatment modifications were based on the urodynamic findings. RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 67.3 months (range 60-103 months). At initial presentation, 51 patients performed intermittent catheterization, 7 had indwelling catheters, 10 utilized reflex voiding, 2 patients presented with a Brindley stimulator, 10 patients used abdominal straining. At the end of our study, no patient had signs of renal damage. To achieve that goal, 8 patients underwent sphincterotomy, 3 received a Brindley stimulator, 3 underwent bladder augmentation, one Kock pouch was performed, and 12 patients were treated with botulinum-A-toxin injections in the detrusor. Twenty-two patients received intravesical anticholinergic therapy. In merely three patients, treatment was not modified during the entire follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: In the long term, treatment strategy of neurogenic bladder dysfunction in patients with spinal cord injury had to be modified in almost all patients. 18.8% underwent surgery. For protection of the upper urinary tract and maintenance of continence, regular urodynamic follow-up is warranted. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The optimal method of bladder management in spinal cord injured patients remains controversial. We investigated the association of type of bladder management with urological complications in these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records, upper tract imaging and video urodynamics of 316 posttraumatic spinal cord injured patients. Mean followup plus or minus standard deviation since injury was 18.3+/-12.4 years. Patients were categorized according to bladder management method, including chronic urethral catheterization, clean intermittent catheterization, spontaneous voiding and suprapubic catheterization in 114, 92, 74 and 36, respectively. No significant differences in patient age at injury, followup interval, or level, completeness or mechanism of injury were noted among bladder management method groups. Infection, stone disease, urethral complications and radiographic abnormalities were recorded. RESULTS: Of the 398 complications recorded 236 developed in 61 (53.5%) patients on chronic urethral catheterization, 57 in 25 (27.2%) on clean intermittent catheterization, 57 in 24 (32.4%) who voided spontaneously and 48 in 16 (44.4%) on suprapubic catheterization. The intermittent catheterization group had statistically significant lower complication rates compared with the urethral catheterization group and no significantly higher complication rates relative to all other management methods for each type of complication studied. The percent of patients with complications was greater in the chronic urethral catheterization group only 5 years after injury, while the percent in all other management groups remained similar up to 15 years after injury. CONCLUSIONS: Clean intermittent catheterization is the safest bladder management method for spinal cord injured patients in terms of urological complications. Inappropriate selection of a bladder management method not only adversely affects patient quality of life, but also has a significant detrimental impact on the economic status of the health care system. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Escherichia coli 83972 was previously shown to establish bladder colonization in select patient groups. We evaluate the safety and feasibility of using bacterial interference with E. coli 83972 to prevent urinary tract infection in spinal cord injured patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 21 men and women with neurogenic bladder secondary to spinal cord injury underwent intravesical inoculation with E. coli 83972. Frequency of symptomatic urinary tract infection before and after colonization was compared. RESULTS: Successful long-term bladder colonization was achieved in 13 study participants. Mean duration of colonization was 12.3 months (range 2 to 40). Subjects had no symptoms of urinary tract infection while colonized with E. coli 83972 (0 infection per 18.4 patient-years). Successfully colonized subjects had experienced a mean of 3.1 symptomatic urinary tract infections per year (range 2 to 7) before colonization. Symptomatic infection also occurred in 4 subjects who were not successfully colonized with E. coli 83972 and in 7 others after spontaneous loss of colonization. Colonized subjects reported subjective improvement in quality of life with respect to urinary tract infection while colonized. CONCLUSIONS: E. coli 83972 may be safely used to establish long-term asymptomatic bladder colonization in spinal cord injured subjects. Preliminary findings suggest that colonization with E. coli 83972 may reduce the frequency of urinary tract infection in patients with neurogenic bladder secondary to spinal cord injury. 相似文献

Incidence and significance of positive urine cultures in patients with an orthotopic neobladder 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
PURPOSE: With an intact normal bladder bacterial colonization is uncommon unless intermittent catheterization is instituted. Because intestine, which is normally colonized with bacteria, is used to form an orthotopic neobladder, we determined whether patients with orthotopic urinary diversion are at increased risk for urinary tract infection and urosepsis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 66 patients who received an orthotopic neobladder after radical cystectomy were prospectively evaluated with urinalysis and culture 2 months to 4 years postoperatively. No patient was on suppressive antibiotics unless they had recurrent urinary tract infections. RESULTS: A total of 55 voided normally and 11 performed intermittent catheterization at least once daily due to high post-void residual urine. Of the patients who voided normally 78% had at least 1 positive urinalysis. If a patient had a positive urinalysis, bacteria was identified on culture in 50%. Overall 26 (39%) and 8 (12%) patients had a urinary tract infection and urosepsis, respectively. The estimated 5-year probability of urinary tract infection and urosepsis for patients who voided independently were 58% and 18%, respectively. Urine culture with greater than 100,000 cfu bacteria and female gender were the only factors predictive of urinary tract infection on multivariate analysis. Recurrent urinary tract infection was the only predictor for urosepsis. Intermittent catheterization or hydronephrosis was not related to urinary tract infection or urosepsis. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of small bowel intestine appears to promote asymptomatic bacterial colonization but urosepsis rarely occurs unless the patient has recurrent urinary tract infections. Prophylactic antibiotics are recommended only for patients with recurring urinary tract infections but treating a positive urinary culture in the absence of specific voiding symptoms is not advocated in this patient population. 相似文献

The characteristics of urinary tract complications in a series of 202 spinal cord injury patients are described. Repeated urinary infection was the most usual problem. Upper urinary tract changes were detected in 61 patients (30%). 56 patients (28%) underwent bladder outlet surgery for problems with voiding. Urinary diversion was done to 8 patients (4%), and 12 (6%) were treated with permanent indwelling catheter or self-catheterization. The high incidence of bladder stones (29%) and urethral complications (14%) was regarded as due to indwelling catheterization at the early stage post-injury. Despite the high urinary tract morbidity, only one patient has so far died of renal failure. 相似文献

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Creation of a continent catheterizable stoma has dramatically improved the ability of the patient with spinal cord injury to perform clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). However, not all patients are good candidates for this procedure. To aid in patient evaluation, we propose the use of a functional questionnaire to predict a candidate's ability to negotiate a continent catheterizable stoma. METHODS: A published functional questionnaire was adapted to assess the self-perceived ability to perform upper extremity tasks similar to those involved in the manipulation of catheter. Tetraplegic patients who had undergone creation of a content catheterizable stoma were given the questionnaire and asked to describe demographics, method of catheterization, motivational factors, and satisfaction with the procedure. RESULTS: Subjects varied in age (23-36 years) and level of impairment (C4-C6). Functional scores correlated with level of injury. Of the 4 women and 1 man who responded, only 2 were able to self-catheterize before diversion. Their catheterization times decreased significantly after creation of a continent stoma. Two patients unable to perform CIC preoperatively were able to perform CIC postoperatively. The patient with the lowest score was unable to perform CIC preoperatively or postoperatively. All were satisfied with outcome after diversion. CONCLUSIONS: In our small cohort, a low functional score was associated with inability to perform CIC after continent diversion. Administration of this questionnaire to a larger spinal cord injury population should aid in selecting appropriate candidates for the creation of a continent catheterizable stoma. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine whether redo bladder neck reconstruction is effective in achieving continence after a failed bladder neck reconstruction procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the hospital records of patients with bladder exstrophy who had undergone redo bladder neck reconstruction. There were 30 patients in the study, including 20 boys and 10 girls. Mean patient age at redo bladder neck reconstruction was 9.3 years (range 3.2 to 15.5). The patients were divided into 3 groups on the basis of the preoperative pattern of incontinence--incomplete wetters, complete wetters and those on continuous suprapubic drainage. Of the patients 15 already had undergone bladder augmentation, 12 had undergone a Mitrofanoff procedure and 12 had been treated with bulking agents injected in the bladder neck in an attempt to achieve continence. Four patients had undergone more than 1 bladder neck procedure. The patients were investigated with a combination of noninvasive urodynamics, cystoscopy, cystogram and ultrasound. All patients underwent Mitchell's modification of Young-Dees-Leadbetter bladder neck reconstruction. Additional procedures performed included augmentation cystoplasty and Mitrofanoff formation. RESULTS: Mean followup was 6.9 years (range 1.2 to 15.5). Postoperatively 28 patients were using clean intermittent catheterization to empty the bladder (5 per urethra, 23 via Mitrofanoff). Two patients remained on continuous suprapubic catheter drainage. A total of 18 patients (60%) were dry postoperatively (80% of girls and 50% of boys). Among dry patients only 3 were performing clean intermittent catheterization per urethra and 15 via a Mitrofanoff channel. No patient was able to void per urethra without the need for clean intermittent catheterization. The 2 patients on continuous suprapubic catheter drainage continued to remain so. At night only 50% of the patients were dry (5 on free drainage, 4 on clean intermittent catheterization, 6 not on any drainage). Those patients who did not respond satisfactorily to redo bladder neck reconstruction underwent subsequent additional procedures, which included injection of bulking agents (3 patients), insertion of an artificial urinary sphincter (1), Mitrofanoff formation (2) and bladder augmentation plus Mitrofanoff channel (1). Postoperative complications included difficulty with clean intermittent catheterization (8 patients), perivesical leak (1), recurrent epididymo-orchitis (1), upper urinary tract dilatation (2) and incisional hernia (1). Bladder neck closure was being considered in 5 patients. CONCLUSIONS: In our experience redo bladder neck reconstruction cannot achieve continence with volitional voiding per urethra. Although redo bladder neck reconstruction can render a significant number of patients dry, it is only effective if performed in conjunction with augmentation. Failure of the initial bladder neck reconstruction may be a reflection of a bladder that is of inadequate capacity and/or compliance. Therefore, bladder augmentation should be considered in all patients requiring redo bladder neck reconstruction. Bladder neck closure may be a better alternative to redo bladder neck reconstruction. 相似文献

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. OBJECTIVE: To examine the functional results and effect on quality of life of continent cutaneous urinary diversion in spinal cord injured patients. SETTING: Department of Urology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, G?teborg, Sweden. SUBJECTS: A total of 10 patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). METHOD: The patients were operated on with an ileal reservoir (Kock reservoir or T-pouch), Cr-EDTA clearance was determined preoperatively and at follow-up. The patients answered a questionnaire concerning reservoir function, various activities and quality of life. The patient charts were reviewed. RESULTS: One patient died of pulmonary embolism 3 years after surgery. Two patients were reoperated on for reservoir perforation. All patients were satisfied/very satisfied with their reservoirs. Half of them reported improved ability to perform various activities. Eight out of nine patients reported improved quality of life. CONCLUSION: For a selected group of patients with SCI, continent cutaneous urinary diversion provides successful outcome with improved quality of life. 相似文献

Purpose
We investigated the changes in sexuality and quality of life that evolve after lower urinary tract reconstruction in neurologically impaired women previously treated with an indwelling urethral catheter.Materials and Methods
A total of 18 neurologically impaired women treated with an indwelling urethral catheter underwent bladder reconstruction. Pubovaginal sling urethral compression was required to restore perineal dryness in 13 patients and was the only operation required in conjunction with intermittent catheterization in 3. Eight patients underwent ileocystostomy, that is creation of a "bladder chimney," and 4 underwent augmentation cystoplasty with creation of a continent catheterizable stoma. In 3 patients ileocystoplasty alone with intermittent urethral catheterization was performed. All patients were followed 6 to 40 months (mean 18) after reconstructive surgery using a 9-part questionnaire to score numerically the effect of surgical reconstruction on sexuality and quality of life issues.Results
On a scale of 0 (worst) to 5 (best) mean scores for self-esteem improved from 1 preoperatively to 4 postoperatively, self-image from 1 to 4, sexual desire from 2 to 4 and ability to cope with disability from 1 to 4, respectively. In 4 of the 15 women who were sexually active preoperatively the frequency of sexual intercourse doubled from a mean of 3 to 6 times per month, respectively, and all 4 women reported improved sexual satisfaction. All 13 patients with pelvic pain and 5 with symptoms of autonomic dysreflexia noticed significant improvement if not complete resolution of the symptoms.Conclusions
Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction treated with an indwelling urethral catheter is detrimental to sexuality and quality of life in neurologically impaired women. Urinary tract reconstruction restores not only quality of life but also sexuality by improving self-image, self-esteem and the ability to cope. Indwelling catheterization as a method of long-term urinary treatment should be avoided in women. 相似文献13.

BACKGROUND/AIM: Transurethral catheterization is generally associated with a higher incidence of urinary tract infections than suprapubic catheterization; however, suprapubic catheterization is associated with other disadvantages such as higher costs and a more difficult technique, and at the moment there is no consensus about the use of both catheter systems. Therefore, a prospective randomized study was performed to investigate the effects of suprapubic catheterization and transurethral catheterization in patients undergoing surgery on the incidence of urinary tract infections and patient satisfaction. METHODS: Patients who underwent an elective laparotomy were randomized and received a suprapubic or transurethral catheter. The primary end point was urinary tract infection. Other parameters of urinary tract infection, as well as duration of catheterization, hospital stay, and number of recatheterizations and of relaparotomies were monitored. Treatment 'per protocol' was also analyzed after exclusion of patients receiving another catheter than randomized for. Patients were asked for their satisfaction with the catheters and complaints during and after catheterization. RESULTS: 165 patients were eligible, of whom 19 patients had to be excluded. 75 patients were allocated to receive the suprapubic catheter and 71 the transurethral catheter. There was no difference in the incidence of a urinary tract infection between the suprapubic group (n = 9/75; 12%) and the transurethral group (n = 8/71; 11%). Most patients (6/9) who developed a urinary tract infection in the suprapubic group, however, underwent recatheterization because of postoperative complications/sepsis and relaparotomy. The incidence of urinary tract infections in patients who received a suprapubic catheter and not a transurethral catheter was 3/59 (5%). The patients did not differ with respect to satisfaction and complaints. Being a men, recatheterization and duration of catheterization are risk factors. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of a urinary tract infection between a suprapubic catheter and a transurethral catheter in patients undergoing major surgery was not different. A potential advantage of the suprapubic catheter (reduction of urinary tract infections) is probably partly negated, because transurethral catheters were used if recatheterization was indicated during the postoperative stay or due to complications. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Spinal dysraphism is the most common cause of neurogenic bladder dysfunction in newborns. Urodynamic findings in these patients include uninhibited bladder contractions, bladder areflexia, decreased compliance and detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia. Early urodynamic studies are recommended for spina bifida to help identify bladder characteristics that may cause a risk of upper tract deterioration. We recently evaluated a new early type of intervention involving closure of the neural tube defect during gestation in 25 patients at our institution. We hypothesize that this procedure results in decreased exposure of the spinal cord to amniotic fluid, which may improve neurological function. To date we have evaluated 16 of the 25 patients with video urodynamics. We compared the results to those in the literature on patients with myelomeningocele and without prenatal intervention. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed urodynamic testing in 16 patients with a mean age of 6.5 months, including cystometrography, fluoroscopic evaluation of filling and voiding, pelvic floor electromyography and post-void residual urine measurement. In addition, we retrospectively reviewed renal ultrasound, voiding cystourethrography, catheterization need, number of urinary tract infections and medication in these cases. RESULTS: Uninhibited detrusor contractions and an areflexic bladder were identified in 6% and 43% of patients, respectively, while 19% had decreased compliance and 75% had leak point pressure greater than 40 cm. water. Mean bladder capacity was 40 cc and 31% of patients had much lower capacity than expected for age. Previous renal ultrasound and voiding cystourethrography showed evidence of upper tract dilatation and reflux in 2 cases, respectively. Intermittent catheterization and anticholinergic therapy were required by 1 patient each and 1 had a significant urinary tract infection. CONCLUSIONS: Urodynamic findings in this population are comparable to those previously reported in the literature in patients with spina bifida without prenatal closure of the spinal defect. The lower incidence of urinary tract infection and reflux in our study probably represents more aggressive early urological management rather than neurological improvement. These urodynamic studies were performed early in life and future evaluation may ultimately reveal improved bladder function compared with that in others with myelodysplasia. However, at this time we recommend that patients who undergo spinal cord defect closure during gestation be evaluated and treated in the same manner as those with myelomeningocele but without fetal intervention. 相似文献

Background:
The optimal bladder management method should preserve renal function and minimize the risk of urinary tract complications. The present study is conducted to assess the overall incidence of urinary tract infections (UTI) and other urological complications in spinal cord injury patients (SCI), and to compare the incidence of these complications with different bladder management subgroups.Materials and Methods:
545 patients (386 males and 159 females) of traumatic spinal cord injury with the mean age of 35.4±16.2 years (range, 18 – 73 years) were included in the study. The data regarding demography, bladder type, method of bladder management, and urological complications, were recorded. Bladder management methods included indwelling catheterization in 224 cases, clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) in 180 cases, condom drainage in 45 cases, suprapubic cystostomy in 24 cases, reflex voiding in 32 cases, and normal voiding in 40 cases. We assessed the incidence of UTI and bacteriuria as the number of episodes per hundred person-days, and other urological complications as percentages.Results:
The overall incidence of bacteriuria was 1.70 / hundred person-days. The overall incidenceof urinary tract infection was 0.64 / hundered person-days. The incidence of UTI per 100 person-days was 2.68 for indwelling catheterization, 0.34 for CIC, 0.34 for condom drainage, 0.56 for suprapubic cystostomy, 0.34 for reflex voiding, and 0.32 for normal voiding. Other urological complications recorded were urethral stricture (n=66, 12.1%), urethritis (n=78, 14.3%), periurethral abscess (n=45, 8.2%), epididymorchitis (n=44, 8.07%), urethral false passage (n=22, 4.03%), urethral fistula (n=11, 2%), lithiasis (n=23, 4.2%), hematuria (n=44, 8.07%), stress incontinence (n=60, 11%), and pyelonephritis (n=6, 1.1%). Clean intermittent catheterization was associated with lower incidence of urological complications, in comparison to indwelling catheterization.Conclusions:
Urinary tract complications largely appeared to be confined to the lower urinary tract. The incidence of UTI and other urological complications is lower in patients on CIC in comparison to the patients on indwelling catheterizations. Encouraging CIC; early recognition and treatment of the UTI and urological complications; and a regular follow up is necessary to reduce the medical morbidity. 相似文献16.
BACKGROUND: There has been no consensus on the best catheterization strategy for the management of postoperative urinary retention. A prospective randomized trial was undertaken to establish the best practice guidelines for the management of postoperative urinary retention. The authors also evaluated the contemporary incidence of urinary retention following different categories of general surgery and examined risk factors associated with its occurrence. METHODS: All patients who underwent elective inpatient surgery between January 2002 and June 2003 were recruited into the study. Patients who developed postoperative urinary retention were randomized to either having in-out catheterization or placement of an indwelling catheter for 24 h after surgery. RESULTS: A total of 1448 patients was recruited. The overall incidence of urinary retention was 4.1% (n = 60). Significant risk factors associated with postoperative urinary retention included old age, anorectal procedures and use of spinal anaesthesia. Comparison of re-catheterization and urinary tract infection rates between patients who were treated with in-out versus overnight catheterization found no significant differences. CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative urinary retention should be managed by in-out catheterization. Indwelling catheterization for 24 h appeared to bestow no additional benefits. The incidence of urinary retention increases with age, anorectal procedures and the use of spinal anaesthesia. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The nature of bladder function following ischemic injuries to the spinal cord (vSCI) is poorly understood. We describe urodynamic (UD) findings in patients with vSCI and determined the optimal management of voiding dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January 1997 through September 2001, 18 patients were diagnosed with vSCI. All underwent neurological and urodynamic evaluation. The etiology of vSCI was abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in 10 patients, another surgical procedure in 4 and a spontaneous spinal cord infarct in 2. RESULTS: Two patients (American Spinal Injury Association [ASIA] class A) had detrusor areflexia or hyporeflexia and performed clean intermittent catheterization. Of the 10 patients assigned to ASIA class C 50% had UD evidence of abnormal compliance, unstable detrusor contractions and detrusor-external sphincter dyssynergia (DESD). All 10 patients had thoracic or cervical sensory levels and 60% had detrusor hyporeflexia or areflexia. A single patient voided spontaneously, while the remainder performed continuous or intermittent catheterization. Five patients assigned to ASIA class D had no abnormal compliance, unstable detrusor contractions or DESD. Four patients voided spontaneously or by abdominal straining. The patients with a history of abdominal aortic aneurysm repair were a heterogeneous population. CONCLUSIONS: While the etiology or sensory level of vSCI does not appear to predict UD patterns with consistency, greater preservation of motor function may be associated with improved parameters. All patients with vSCI and lower urinary tract symptoms require thorough UD evaluation and ongoing surveillance is mandated because deterioration may develop with time. Clean intermittent catheterization may represent the most effective method of bladder emptying for patients unable to void voluntarily. However, early evidence of abnormal compliance and DESD has also been seen in these patients, underscoring the need for close UD surveillance. 相似文献

Macroplastique implantation system for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
PURPOSE: We evaluated the 12-month followup outcome of the Macroplastique (Uroplasty, Minneapolis, Minnesota) implantation system for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence caused by intrinsic sphincter deficiency using objective and subjective measures, including quality of life impact. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 21 consecutive women with a mean age of 47.4 years and a mean body mass index of 25.65 kg./m.2 in whom intrinsic sphincter deficiency was urodynamically diagnosed were enrolled in the study. Patients were preoperatively assessed by physical examination, quality of life questionnaire, Stamey grading of incontinence, pad use, pad weight test and urodynamic testing. Patients underwent periurethral injection under local anesthesia with the Macroplastique implantation system. The mean volume of silicone elastomers injected was 6.3 ml. RESULTS: As assessed by the King health questionnaire, patient quality of life improved in all domains and in most lower urinary tract symptoms. Patient satisfaction and subjective surgeon evaluation were assessed by Stamey incontinence grading. From patient point of view 12 (57.1%) considered themselves cured, 4 (19%) were improved and 5 (23.8%) had failure. According to subjective surgeon grading 8 patients (38.1%) were considered cured 6 (28.6%) were improved and 7 (33.3%) had failure. Pad use decreased from a mean of 4.38 to 1.29 units daily. According to the pad weight test 13 patients (62%) were dry, 4 (19%) were improved and 4 (19%) had failure. Urodynamic testing demonstrated that 8 patients (40%) were dry and 1 (5%) was improved. CONCLUSIONS: The Macroplastique implantation system proved to have an acceptable outcome for patient and surgeon. The procedure can be done with local anesthesia and without cystoscopic guidance. 相似文献

PURPOSE: We compared the safety and patient acceptance of a conventional Nélaton and a prelubricated nonhydrophilic catheter in 18 spinal cord injured patients on intermittent catheterization. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a prospective crossover study each catheter was used for 7 weeks and the initial course was randomized. Urinalysis and urine culture were performed at 2, 4 and 7 weeks. Urethral trauma was evaluated by urethral cell count on the surface of each catheter used on the last day of each study period. Patient satisfaction was assessed at the end of the study by a questionnaire using multiple visual analog scales. RESULTS: Urinary tract infection was identified in 12 and 4 patients on a Nélaton and a prelubricated nonhydrophilic catheter (p = 0.03), while asymptomatic bacteruria was identified in 18 and 8 (p = 0.0244), respectively. The mean urethral cell count plus or minus standard deviation on the catheter surface was 6.7 +/- 2.8 x 10(4) and 15.1 +/- 8.9 x 10(4) for the prelubricated nonhydrophilic and the Néelaton catheter, respectively (p = 0.01). The prelubricated nonhydrophilic catheter resulted in a better mean satisfaction score than the Nélaton catheter (2.33 +/- 1.06 versus 4.72 +/- 2.13, p = 0.022). Urethral bleeding was reported in 2 patients during the study period while using the Nélaton catheter. CONCLUSIONS: The prelubricated nonhydrophilic catheter is a safe, effective and comfortable option in spinal cord injured patients on intermittent self-catheterization. 相似文献

This article reports the current evidence and expert opinions on diagnosis and management of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) in Taiwan. The main problems of NLUTD are failure to store, failure to empty, and combined failure to store and empty. The priority of management of NLUTD should follow the order of: (1) preservation of renal function; (2) freedom from urinary tract infection (UTI); (3) efficient bladder emptying; and (4) freedom from indwelling catheter, and patients' expectation of management should be respected. Management of the urinary tract in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) or multiple sclerosis (MS) must be based on urodynamic findings, rather than inferences from the neurologic evaluation. Selecting high risk patients is important to prevent renal function impairment in patients with chronic NLUTD. Patients with NLUTD should be regularly followed up for their lower urinary tract dysfunction by urodynamic study and any urological complication should be adequately treated. Avoiding a chronic indwelling catheter can reduce the incidence of developing a low compliant bladder. Antimuscarinic agents with clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) may reduce urological complications and improve quality of life (QoL) in patients with NLUTD. Intravesical injection of botulinum toxin A provides an alternative treatment for refractory detrusor overactivity (DO) or low compliant bladder and can replace the need for bladder augmentation. When surgical intervention is necessary, we should consider the least invasive type of surgery and reversible procedure first and avoid any unnecessary surgery of the lower urinary tract. Keeping the bladder and urethra in a good condition without interference of the neuromuscular continuity provides patients with NLUTD a chance for future new technologies. It is most important to never give up on improving the QoL in patients with NLUTD. 相似文献
