Características de las infecciones urinarias en pacientes con vejiga neurógena según el sistema de vaciado vesical utilizado en comparación con pacientes sin vejiga neurógena

E. coli was the microorganism found in positive urethral cultures from all subgroups, except in the ICU group. The groups with the highest urinary tract infection rates were patients with MMC and spinal cord injuries. Sensitivity and specificity (as measured using ROC curves) for perception by neurological patients as an indication of the presence of urinary tract infection was higher in neurological patients than in the non-neurological control group (p=0.0004, area: 0.643).
