Almost one-third of the patients with cerebral palsy and urinary symptoms presented with normal urodynamic findings. The most frequent findings were reduced bladder capacity, detrusor overactivity, and increased post-void residual. No urinary tract complications were observed.
Increased BWT was present in patients with low bladder compliance and NDO/DSD. No BWT cutoff value to predict an elevated detrusor pressure was found. Therefore, the measurement of BWT has no clinical role in patients with SCI and cannot replace urodynamic evaluation.
Aim: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are a common urological referral, which sometimes can have a neurological basis in a patient with no formally diagnosed neurological disease ("occult neurology"). Early identification and
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
