Cystometry Is Associated With Reduced Overall Mortality in Veterans With Suprasacral Spinal Cord Injury or Disease

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the prevalence of cystometrograms among veterans with suprasacral spinal cord injuries and their association with overall mortality. They found that only 31% of the cohort underwent cystometrograms, but those who did had a significantly reduced mortality risk over a 20-year follow-up period. This suggests a need to enhance adherence to neurogenic bladder surveillance protocols to improve health outcomes in this population.
