Urodynamics of Suprasacral Spinal Cord Injury Patients

Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University101 enrolled

Overview

The medical records of 215 patients with spinal cord injury(SCI) at the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the 2nd Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, China were evaluated between January 1, 2016 and December 20, 2019. According to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, 101 patients were included. The patients were dichotomized into two groups: complete SCI group and incomplete SCI group, based on the American Spinal Injury Association Guidelines Impairment Scale (AIS) .The investigators retrospectively collected records of urodynamic evaluations of this patients and then analyze the urodynamic parameters,including detrusor overactivity (DO), bladder compliance (BC), bladder-filling sensation, maximum cystometric capacity (MCC), detrusor external sphincter dyssynergia (DESD), maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), detrusor pressure at a maximum urinary flow rate(PdetQmax).
