BACTERIURIA MANAGEMENT AND UROLOGICAL EVALUATION OF PATIENTS WITH SPINA BIFIDA AND NEUROGENIC BLADDER: A MULTICENTER SURVEY

Abstract

No consensus exists for the evaluation and management of bacteriuria in patients with spina bifida and neurogenic bladder at clinics specializing in the care of such patients, even at those with established standards of care. A clear need exists for an established, national set of evidence based guidelines to assist medical decision making in this high risk population and, thus, improve care.
