Abstract:

Study assessing the compliance rate and urological complication rate for persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) using clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). Data were collected over 5.9 years from 89 individuals with SCI. Rates for specific types of complication were compared with rates found in previous studies. The authors conclude that CIC can provide optimum management of the lower urinary tract in persons with SCI.
