  • Stroke patients who regain urinary continence in the first week after acute first-ever stroke have better prognosis than patients with persistent lower urinary tract dysfunction
    Rotar, Melita ...
    Aims: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a predictor of greater mortality and poor functional recovery; however published studies failed to evaluate lower urinary tract (LUT) function immediately after ... stroke. The aim of our study was to evaluate the course of LUT function in the first week after stroke, andits impact on prognosis. Methods: We included 100 consecutively admitted patients suffering first-ever stroke and evaluated them within 72 hours after stroke, after 7 days, 6 months, and 12 months. For LUT function assessment we used ultrasound measurement. The patients were divided into three groups: (i) patients who remained continent after stroke, (ii) patients who had LUT dysfunction in the acute phase but regained continence in the first week, and (iii) patients who did not regain normal LUT control in the first week. We assessed the influence of variables on death using the multiple logistic regression model. Results: Immediately after stroke 58 patients had LUT dysfunction. The odds of dying in group with LUT dysfunction were significantly larger than odds in group without LUT dysfunction. Odds for death for patients who regained LUT function in 1 week after stroke were comparable to patients without LUT dysfunction. Conclusions: We confirmed thatpost-stroke UI is a predictor of greater mortality at 1 week, 6 months and12 months after stroke. However, patients who regain normal bladder controlin the first week have a comparable prognosis as the patients who do not have micturition disturbances following stroke.
