Intermittent self catheterization with hydrophilic, gel reservoir, and non-coated catheters: a systematic review and cost effectiveness analysis. BMJ 2013;345:e8639 dol: 10,1136. This systematic review of different types of catheters for intermittent catheterization included a meta-analysis of relevant trials. There were no differences in hydrophilic, as compared with uncoated, catheters for outcomes of symptomatic urinary tract infection.

Am Acad Phys Med Rehabil. 2011;3:408-17. This study reported a significant delay in time to first symptomatic infection with use of hydrophilic, as compared with uncoated, catheters. However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of symptomatic infection during the full study period.

Expert Rev Neurother. 2012;12(7):763-75. Use of botulinum toxin A for detrusor overactivity results in increased postvoid residual volumes for some patients but no change in frequency of urinary tract infection.

Botulinum toxin sphincter injections are used to improve voiding for selected patients with spinal cord injury. This meta-analysis reported a decrease in incidence of febrile urinary tract infection following this intervention.

Women with spinal cord injury frequently have symptomatic urinary infection and asymptomatic bacteriuria. The optimal management to prevent complications associated with urinary infection in pregnancy requires further investigation.

In a small group of pregnant spinal cord injured patients, recurrent urinary tract infection was a frequent complication. A high proportion of women required long-term antimicrobial therapy, but the pregnancy outcomes were generally satisfactory.
