Objectives To determine whether air‐filled systems (AFS) provide comparable urodynamic investigation (UDI) trace quality to water‐filled (WFS), the recommended standard by International Continence Society. Patients and Methods A total of 490 patients undergoing UDI from April 2021 January 2022 were included in this non‐inferiority randomised controlled trial. Eligible female male adults with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). allocated block randomisation a 1:1 ratio undergo...
We aimed to provide a real-world description of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction within the first year after spinal cord injury with focus on unfavorable urodynamic parameters that are associated urological morbidity.Urodynamic investigations from 97 patients traumatic or ischemic acute and managed according European Association Urology Guidelines Neuro-Urology were analyzed at single university center 1 month, 3 months, 6 12 months injury. Unfavorable defined as detrusor...
We used clinical parameters to develop a prediction model for the occurrence of urodynamic risk factors upper urinary tract (UUT) damage during first year after acute spinal cord injury (SCI). A total 97 patients underwent investigation at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months SCI, within framework population-based longitudinal study single university SCI center. Candidate predictors included demographic characteristics neurological functional statuses 1 month SCI. Outcomes UUT damage: detrusor...
Patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) often rely on some type of catheterization for bladder emptying. Intermittent (IC) is considered the gold standard and preferred over continuous catheterization, since it to cause fewer infections (UTIs) than indwelling catheterization. The main objective our study was describe UTI prevalence (at visit) incidence (within last 12 months) urine culture characteristics between patients using an catheter versus (vs) those...
Objectives To describe the temporal development of and risk factors for occurrence unfavourable urodynamic parameters during first year after spinal cord injury (SCI). Patients Methods This population‐based longitudinal study used data from 97 adult patients with a single‐event traumatic or ischaemic SCI who underwent video‐urodynamic investigation (UDI) at university centre. The occurrences (detrusor overactivity combined detrusor sphincter dyssynergia [DO‐DSD], maximum storage pressure ≥40...
To present the protocol for a randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating efficacy and safety of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) refractory neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD).bTUNED (bladder TranscUtaneous Nerve nEurogenic Dysfunction) is an international multicentre, sham-controlled, double-blind RCT investigating TTNS. The primary outcome success TTNS, defined as improvements in key bladder diary variables at study end compared to baseline values. focus...
