Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Lower urinary tract symptoms is a broad term of subjective urinary symptoms such as nocturia, urgency, urinary incontinence, and frequency of voiding, defined by the International Continence Society. Several disorders and conditions affecting the nervous system that controls the lower urinary system can result in neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD). Stroke is one of these conditions. The literature review reveals that there is insufficient data regarding the course of LUTD symptoms other than urinary incontinence in stroke patients, and their relation with functional and mental status. The aim of this prospective, multi-center study was to determine the frequency and course of post-stroke LUTD from early term up to a period of six months, and to investigate the relation of LUTD with functional and mental status and quality of life in stroke patients.

This study was designed as a prospective study and included 70 stroke patients enrolled by the Neurogenic Bladder Study Group from five different centers across Turkey.

The demographic (age, sex, education, marital status and occupation) and clinical characteristics (side of the stroke, cause of the stroke, stroke localization and anticholinergic medication use) of the patients were obtained from the patient files and through face-to-face interviews. In addition, patients were questioned on the post-stroke 1st, 3rd, and 6th months in terms of bladder drainage methods (normal spontaneous urination, use of adjunct maneuvers such as crede, valsalva and tapping, presence of overflow, clean intermittent catheterization use, permanent catheter use) after stroke.

The patients were questioned using the Danish Prostatic Symptom Score (DAN-PSS), and evaluated using the Brunnstrom motor staging (hand, upper and lower extremities), modified Barthel index, incontinence quality of life questionnaire (I-QOL), and the Mini-Mental Test (MMT) on the 1st, 3rd and 6th months.
