Abstract:
Objective To investigate the urinary patterns in cervical spinal cord injury patients with different courses and degrees of injury.Methods A total of 49 patients with cervical spinal cord injury in the First Affiliated Hospital of PLA General Hospital from January 2014 to October 2016 were enrolled in this study using purposive sampling. Medical data and normal information of patients were recorded. A number of 5 hospitalized patients were interviewed face-to-face, while 44 patients were interviewed by telephone to record the urinary patterns and time of changing urination pattern.Results Indwelling catheter was the main urinary pattern and accounted for 31.0%-61.2% of patients. Patients with different injury degrees had different urinary patterns. Indwelling was the main urinary pattern of patients with complete cervical spinal cord injury and accounted for 42.9%; 14.3% of patients with complete cervical spinal cord injury could urinate by themselves. The main urinary pattern of patients with incomplete injury was self-urination, which accounted for 34.6%; there were 26.9% of these patients with indwelling catheterization.Conclusions The course and degree of injury affect the urinary pattern. Patients with cervical spinal cord injury should have individual urinary patterns to improve their bladder function and restore spontaneous urination so as to improve their quality of life to return to society.
