Factors Related to the Occurrence of Urinary Tract Infection Following a Urodynamic Study in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury

Abstract: ObjectiveTo analyze the factors related to urinary tract infection (UTI) occurrence after an urodynamic study (UDS) in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).MethodsWe retrospectively investigated the medical records of 387 patients with SCI who underwent UDS with prophylactic antibiotic therapy between January 2012 and December 2012. Among them, 140 patients met the inclusion criteria and were divided into two groups, UTI and non-UTI. We statistically analyzed the following factors between the two groups: age… Show more

“…In fact, we have found, both in univariate and multivariate analyses, three times more chance of occurrence of UTI after the UDS in patients with an injury that is T6 or higher, in relation to those with an injury that is T7 or lower. It is also interesting to highlight that the extent of SCI, here evaluated through the ASIA Impairment Scale, has not influenced this result, as already described on a previous study (15).…”

“…It is known that patients with tetraplegia require greater daily care, which often involves hiring caregivers, increasing the general risk of UTI, although not specifically with regard to the UDS (15). A possible explanation for the higher incidence of UTI in patients with a T6 level injury or higher could reside on a bladder ischemia that would occur in two situations: increase in the intravesical pressure (low complacency and / or high detrusor pressure) or when there is vesical hyperdistension (16).…”

“…Urodynamic investigations are by far the most commonly used method for bladder evaluation, it is believed to increase the risk for UTIs, and therefore, the American Urological association suggests that high risk patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction should receive antibiotic prophylaxis for UTI prophylaxis [72]. Data from a recent SCI study found that a history of UTI within the past 4 weeks prior to the urodynamic investigation increased the risk for a new UTI [73].…”

“…Use of a standard format is essential for combining data from multiple investigators and locations. The SCI Urodynamic Data Set seems to be well suited for this purpose, as its first version has already been used in several studies [14][15][16][17] and has been translated into Chinese [https://www. iscos.org.uk//international-sci-urodynamic-data-sets].…”
