University of South Florida KEYWORDS: Clinical Trial, Quality of Life (QoL), Questionnaire, Voiding Dysfunction Optimally managed patients with neurogenic or non-neurogenic urinary retention utilize intermittent self-catheterization (ISC) for bladder emptying. Although ISC is the gold standard for managing chronic urinary retention (1), little is known about the patients’ actual experience and quality of life (QoL), as prior research is limited to small, community-based studies performed outside of the United Sates (US). Our objective was to better understand patient practices with and attitudes towards daily ISC in a US population by interviewing patients who have been performing ISC for at least 6 months. We used a validated ISC related QoL questionnaire to determine ease of use, discreteness, difficulty with catheterization, and psychological well-being considerations with ISC. Results may assist patients, clinicians, and manufacturers in improving QoL in patients who use ISC for bladder emptying. Read the full abstract text here: https://www.ics.org/2020/abstract/427
