Comprehensive Study

The results of comprehensive study of kidneys and upper urinary tract uro-ultrasonographic data in174 chronic patients after spinal cord injury (SCI) are presented. It shows that neurourological pathological changes are frequently supported by uroinfection, firstly pyelonephritis (32%). Nephrolithiasis was diagnosed in 11,5% patients. Concrement's minimal diameter was diagnosed in 19% with their self-discharge in 12,6%. Varying degrees of hydronephrosis was diagnosed in 17,2% and cysts in 7%. The frequency/severity of neurourological changes depends on the time after SCI, the degree of neurological deficit, type of urinary excretion and pressure sores.

ABSTRACTBetween 46-59% of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) cases develop Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and 16-18%develop pressure sores during the first year after the trauma. In a retrospective approach, the occurrence ofUTI and pressure sores at Green Pastures Hospital’s Spinal Injury Unit was studied. Between 1997-2000out of 39 included patients 27 had suffered a thoracic-lumbar, 12 a cervical trauma. Twenty of these( 51.2% ) developed UTI and 7 ( 17.9% ) developed pressure sores during their hospitalization period. Themost commonly organism found in both complications, UTI and pressure sores, was E. coli, followed byProteus in UTI and Staph. aureus in pressure sores. Detected UTI and pressure sores among referredpatients at admission was higher than expected (71.7% and 48.7% respectively). In conclusion, adherenceto a protocol by a multidisciplinary health care team resulted in favourable outcome of patients with SCIadmitted to the rehabilitation unit. This is believed to be an indicator for the need of specialized SCI units.However, also in the studied sample at Green Pastures there was room for further improvement within the expected range.Key Words: Spinal Cord Injury, Urinary Tract Infection, Pressure Sore.
