Urological Management at Discharge from Acute Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation: A Descriptive Analysis from a Population-based Prospective Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is limited epidemiological evidence describing contemporary neuro-urological management of persons with acute spinal cord injury (SCI).

Objective

To describe neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) management at discharge from SCI rehabilitation.

Design setting and participants

The population-based Swiss Spinal Cord Injury (SwiSCI) cohort study prospectively collected data from 602 adults undergoing specialized postacute SCI rehabilitation from 2013 to 2020. The management strategy was based on the European Association of Urology (EAU) Guidelines on Neuro-Urology.

Outcome measurements and statistical analysis
