A comparison of urodynamic findings between patients with complete and incomplete traumatic spinal cord injuries

Objective: To compare urodynamic findings between patients with complete and incomplete traumatic spinal cord injuries (SCI) and to determine whether it is important to test with urodynamic study in patients with incomplete SCI.Design: Retrospective studySetting: Ankara Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, TurkeyParticipants: A total of 66 patients with 36 complete and 30 incomplete traumatic SCI were included in the study, from July 2012 to September 2014.Interventions: Urodynamic studyOutcome Measures: Maximum cystometric capacity (MCC) , vesicle pressure at MCC, detrusor function (detrusor overactivity or not), bladder complience, bladder storage and emptying disorders, post-void residual volume (PVR) and bladder emptying method were recorded. It was also recorded whether the patients used anticholinergic drugs before urodynamic study.Results: In urodynamic findings MCC, vesicle pressure at MCC, PVR, there was no statistically significant difference between compl...
