MP80-16 QUALITY OF LIFE IN NEUROGENIC BLADDER PATIENTS AFTER SUPRAPUBIC TUBE PLACEMENT

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the effect of continuous care intervention on the quality of life (QoL) of patients with neurogenic bladder. Methods Eighty-two patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction caused by spinal cord injury were included into the study. All of the patients had continuous care intervention (for 3 months), including clean intermittent self-catheterization, drinking guidance, and bladder training guidance. A health record was established for each patient before discharge and was used to record changes in the patients when followed up. Scores of QoL, which were based on the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF, occurrence of complications, and compliance of all patients were recorded. Results After 3-month care intervention, there were significantly fewer complications than before the intervention. Patients’ compliance and QoL were significantly higher after 3 months of care intervention than before the intervention. Conclusion Continuous care intervention can improve patients’ compliance and reduce urinary complications.

Neurogenic bladder is a chronic condition affecting patients of all ages with significant medical and quality of life implications. Goals of treatment consist of protection of the upper urinary tract and promotion of reliable urinary continence. Successful management involves medications and most often bladder drainage via clean intermittent catheterization. This article reviews current literature on medical management to achieve goals of treatment.

The Short Form Qualiveen (SF-Qualiveen) is an 8-item version of the Qualiveen questionnaire used to evaluate the impact of urinary symptoms on the quality of life in patients with urological dysfunction due to neurological disorders. The questionnaire was never available in the Russian language before. The study is aimed at providing the translation, cultural adaptation, and validation of a Russian version of the SF-Qualiveen for the use in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Materials and Methods. The original English language version of the SF-Qualiveen was translated into Russian according to the cultural and linguistic adaptation algorithm. The participants (50 MS patients with neurogenic bladder and 10 relatively healthy volunteers) filled out the finalized Russian version of the SF-Qualiveen and the Neurogenic Bladder Symptom Score (NBSS) twice, 2 weeks apart. The data obtained was used to determine the internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha), external validity (the Spearman correlation), and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC)) of the questionnaire. Results. The mean SF-Qualiveen total score was 2.51±0.79 in patients with a neurogenic bladder and 0.1±0.02 in the control group (p<0.001). Cronbach’s alpha exceeded 0.9 indicating an excellent internal consistency of the questionnaire. The retest did not reveal any significant differences between the findings. The test-retest reliability was good for all items and domains (ICC 0.81-0.89). The total score demonstrated the highest ICC (0.89). The external validity was verified by a strong correlation demonstrated between the SF-Qualiveen and NBSS scores. Conclusions. The Russian SF-Qualiveen questionnaire is a reliable, valid, and consistent tool for the assessment of a urinary disorder impact on the quality of life in patients with MS.

Respiratory Complications

Patients with neuromuscular disease often require gastrostomy, yet respiratory complications in these patients can preclude the use of general anesthesia, intravenous sedation, or endoscopy. The purpose of this study is to report successful use of open gastrostomy that can be performed under local anesthesia. Fifty-four patients underwent this modified procedure. There were no deaths or complications. They lived an average of 43.4 ± 6.2 (SE) months postgastrostomy tube placement. Simplified open gastrostomy can be performed safely for patients with neuromuscular disease with resulting improvements in both longevity and quality of life.
