Quality of life and urological morbidity in tetraplegics with artificial ventilation managed with suprapubic or intermittent catheterisation.

Abstract:

STUDY DESIGN:Mono-centric, retrospective study. OBJECTIVE:Analysis of correlation between bladder management and age in respirator-dependant high-tetraplegic patients. Additionally suprapubic catheter (SPC) and intermittent catheterisation (IC) were reviewed concerning urological complications and quality of life (QoL). SETTING:Level 1 trauma centre. METHODS:A QoL questionnaire 'International Consultation on Incontinence' (ICIQ-SF) was sent to 56 tetraplegic respirator device-dependant (RDD)-spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. Their scores concerning urological morbidity were reviewed. For analysis reasons they were divided in three groups: SPC, IC and others. RESULTS:SPC 38, IC 12 and others 6 patients. Significant difference in age (SPC vs IC=49.9 vs 31.8 years) was observed but no disparity in gender. Within a follow-up period 2-26 years (median 8 years) significant urological complications in patients with IC (P<0.05) were ascertained. These were in general minor complications. Especially renal deterioration or bladder cancer was not diagnosed in any of the group. The questionnaire return rate was high (83.9%) with complete answers (SPC=32, IC=11). Self assessment of QoL with ICIQ-SF revealed no significant difference for both groups on low level, but SPC patients tend to score better. CONCLUSION:In our study, tetraplegic RDD-SCI patients with SPC suffered less urological complications and tend to score a better QoL. Therefore we recommend SPC as a serious alternative for these selected patients and concurrently underline the necessity of close urological surveillance at least annually.
