Prevalence of urination disorders among persons with cerebrovascular disease in Kemerovo region – Kuzbass

In Russia, up to 470 thousand cases of stroke have been registered per year over the past five years. Stroke often leads to urination disorder which most often manifested by detrusor hyperactivity.

Aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of urination disorders due to cerebrovascular disease (CVD) among persons recognized as disabled for the first time in the Kemerovo Region –Kuzbass in 2014–2023.

Material and methods. In persons recognized as disabled for the first time due to CVD in the Kemerovo Region – Kuzbass from 2014 to 2023, disability and morbidity parameters were analyzed, based on Rosstat data, including reporting forms No. 7-Д (social security) and morbidity reports. 3811 individual rehabilitation and habilitation programs for individuals with urinary incontinence, expert documentation from medical and social assessment institutions, and data obtained from the Unified Automated Vertically Integrated Information and Analytical System for Conducting Medical and Social Assessments in the Kemerovo Region – Kuzbass were analyzed.

Results. Urination disorders were found in 1/3 of all persons recognized as disabled due to CVD for the first time; most persons with impaired urination due to CVD were severely disabled persons and female patients.

Conclusions. Early detection and correction of urination disorders will improve the quality of life in persons disabled due to CVD and, coupled with the correct choice of treatment, will decrease the amount of absorbent underwear used, which will decrease the economic burden on the state.
