Urinary involvement is common in hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs), but has rarely been assessed systematically.
We characterized urinary complaints in 71 German HSP patients (mean age 55.4 ± 13.9 years; mean disease duration 20.7 ± 14.3 years; 48% SPG4-positive) using validated clinical rating scales (SCOPA-AUT, ICIQ-SF, ICIQ-LUTSqol). Treatment history and satisfaction with medical care was also assessed.
74.6% of patients had one or more urological problems, most commonly nocturia and urgency. Incontinence was more severe in women, correlating with SCOPA-AUT. Female gender and SPG4 mutations were associated with higher urinary frequency and severity of urological involvement. QoL was overall reduced, more in women and in SPG4 mutation carriers. Almost 90% consulted a medical specialist; more than half were largely satisfied. 43.4% received oral medication and 5.7% received intravesical botulinum toxin. However, more than one-third of patients remained untreated.
Urinary complaints are common in HSP and should be addressed and treated.
遗传性痉挛性截瘫(HSP)常伴有尿路受累,但鲜有系统评估。
我们采用经验证的临床评分量表(SCOPA-AUT、ICIQ-SF、ICIQ-LUTSqol)对 71 名德国 HSP 患者(平均年龄 55.4 ± 13.9 岁;平均病程 20.7 ± 14.3 年;48% SPG4 阳性)的尿路症状进行了评估。同时还评估了患者的治疗史和对医疗服务的满意度。
74.6%的患者存在一种或多种泌尿系统问题,最常见的是夜尿和尿急。女性患者的尿失禁更为严重,与 SCOPA-AUT 评分相关。女性和 SPG4 突变与更高的尿路频率和更严重的泌尿系统受累相关。总体而言,生活质量降低,女性和 SPG4 突变携带者更为明显。近 90%的患者咨询了医学专家;超过一半的患者非常满意。43.4%的患者接受了口服药物治疗,5.7%的患者接受了膀胱内肉毒杆菌毒素治疗。然而,仍有超过三分之一的患者未得到治疗。
HSP 患者常伴有尿路症状,应予以关注和治疗。
