Urodynamics Are Essential to Predict the Risk for Upper Urinary Tract Damage after Acute Spinal Cord Injury.

ABSTRACT: We used clinical parameters to develop a prediction model for the occurrence of urodynamic risk factors for upper urinary tract (UUT) damage during the first year after acute spinal cord injury (SCI). A total of 97 patients underwent urodynamic investigation at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after acute SCI, within the framework of a population-based longitudinal study at a single university SCI center. Candidate predictors included demographic characteristics and neurological and functional statuses 1 month after SCI. Outcomes included urodynamic risk factors for UUT damage: detrusor overactivity combined with detrusor sphincter dyssynergia, maximum storage detrusor pressure (pDetmax) ≥ 40 cmH₂O, bladder compliance < 20 mL/cmH₂O, and vesicoureteral reflux.
