Abstract

Background: Stroke is one of the diseases affecting the nervous system which controls the lowerurinary tract. Lower urinary tract dysfunction is a broad term of subjective urinary tract symptomsand may vary according to the course of disease. The presence of Lower urinary tract dysfunction is anegative prognostic indicator for a variety of health and rehabilitation outcomes across the spectrumof care. This study was carried out to find whether severity of lower urinary tract dysfunction has aninfluence on functional status among ambulant stroke survivors.Methodology: 20 ambulant stroke survivors with the mean age of 68.55±8.02 were evaluated usingCore Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score to assess the severity of lower urinary tract dysfunction andBarthel Index to assess the functional status.Conclusion: This pilot study found weak negative correlation (r=-0.26) between Core lower urinarytract symptom score and functional status; however it was found to be statistically non-significant(p>0.05).

下尿路功能障碍对卒中幸存者功能状态的影响:一项初步研究

背景:中风是影响控制下尿路的神经系统的疾病之一。下尿路功能障碍是一个广义的主观尿路症状，可根据疾病的病程而变化。下尿路功能障碍的存在是各种健康和康复结果的负面预后指标。本研究旨在发现下尿路功能障碍的严重程度是否会影响门诊中风幸存者的功能状态。方法:对20例平均年龄68.55±8.02岁的中风患者进行评估，采用core下尿路症状评分评估下尿路功能障碍严重程度，barthel指数评估功能状态。结论:本初步研究发现Core下尿路症状评分与功能状态呈弱负相关(r=-0.26);但差异无统计学意义(p>0.05)。
