Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of urinary tract infection after urodynamic investigation and to identify the involved germs.
Detailed Description
Patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction after spinal cord injury need lifelong urologic control examinations with CMG (urodynamic examination). The manipulation may cause urinary tract infections which have to be treated. Patients often noticed an infection after a CMG examination. Aim of this study is the determination of the infection rate and germs. Also should be noticed the pre-interventional infections and differences between the causing germs. Simultaneously the investigators test the reliability of the quicktest for urinary infection. Additionally the investigators will examine the Quality of Life in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Incidence of urinary tract infection following urodynamic investigation
Time Frame: 3 days after urodynamic investigation
every patient receives the urine examination before the urodynamic investigation and hospitalized patients additionally 3 days later and ambulatory patients in case of urinary tract infection
Secondary Outcomes
- Name and number of identified bacterial species(30 minutes before examination)
- Incidence of urinary tract infection before urodynamic investigation(30 minutes before urodynamic investigation)
- Number of hospitalized and number of ambulatory patients with infection of the lower urinary tract(3 days after examination)
