Development of the risk evaluation tool for upper urinary tract damage of neurogenic bladder / 中华护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To develop a risk evaluation tool for upper urinary tract damage (UUTD) of neurogenic bladder (NGB) to identify population at risk in the early stage.Methods The general,clinical,urodynamic,urinary imaging data of 112 NGB patients were retrospectively investigated.Logistic regression and decision tree were used to establish the risk early warning model respectively.The risk evaluation tool was formed according to the model with a higher accuracy and area under curve.Results The accuracy and area under curve of decision tree model (84.8％,0.909)was higher than that of logistic regression model (73.2％,0.842).A risk evaluation scale including urinary tract function,gender,Pabd max,Pves max was formed.Conclusion We developed a risk evaluation scale to predict the risk of UUTD in patients with NGB.It might provide a convenient way to screen UUTD in NGB patients.
