Role of Residual Urine and Asymptomatic Prostatitis in the Development of Urinary Tract Infections in Spinal Cord Injury

NCT01601041 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Last updated 2016-11-22

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this prospective study is to investigate the association between the amount of residual urine and asymptomatic bacterial prostate infection with the occurrence of recurrent (\>2 /year) symptomatic urinary tract infections in patients suffering from chronic (\> 1 year) spinal cord injury (SCI) and neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction performing intermittent catheterization.

The following hypotheses will be tested:

1. The amount of residual urine after intermittent catheterization is significantly greater in SCI patients suffering from frequent (\>2 /year) urinary tract infections compared to those without.
2. The incidence of asymptomatic bacterial prostate infections is significantly higher in SCI patients suffering from frequent (\>2 /year) urinary tract infections compared to those without.
