This observational research study aims to build a multinational electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) registry of adult end users in outpatient and community settings using intermittent catheter(s) to void via the urethra to manage urinary retention and incomplete bladder emptying. Research participants will be asked to self-report on various attributes of their currently prescribed intermittent catheters and other various aspects of using an intermittent catheter.
This observational research study aims to build a multinational ePRO registry of adult end users in outpatient and community settings using intermittent catheter(s) to void via the urethra to manage urinary retention and incomplete bladder emptying. Research resulting from data generated from an ePRO registry will factor in end user perspectives on intermittent catheterization habits and behaviors and intermittent catheter performance to inform and guide healthcare providers, end users, and caregivers in making the most informed healthcare decisions regarding intermittent catheterization. Research participants will be asked to self-report on various attributes of their currently prescribed intermittent catheters and various aspects of habits and behaviors, including health-related quality of life, of using an intermittent catheter.

Creation of longitudinal continence care ePRO-based, direct-to-consumer registry
To build a longitudinal continence care ePRO-based, direct-to-consumer registry addressing overall intermittent self-catheterization product satisfaction, QoL, healthcare resource utilization associated with urinary symptoms, urinary tract infections and other complications including burden of ISC over time, and end-user product preference factors.
Time frame: 5 years
Identification of intermittent self-catheterization habits and behaviors
To identify intermittent self-catheterization habits and behaviors, and enable meaningful intermittent catheter comparisons, including but not limited to product-specific outcomes related to urinary symptoms associated with ISC, frequency of UTI and other complications over time, and product satisfaction over time.
Time frame: 5 years
