Timing of urological management during post‐acute spinal cord injury rehabilitation
This descriptive study revealed considerable between-centre variation in the individualised patient management regarding timing of bladder storage medication and bladder emptying method during inpatient SCI rehabilitation in a high-resource setting. These findings warrant future targeted prospective research to evaluate the impact of centre-specific patient management processes on long-term upper and lower urinary tract outcomes. Between-centre differences in timing of medication and bladder emptying method initiation also need consideration in the design of multicentre randomised controlled trials during post-acute SCI rehabilitation.
