Continence Care Registry

This observational research study aims to build a multinational ePRO registry of adult end users in outpatient and community settings using intermittent catheter(s) to void via the urethra to manage urinary retention and incomplete bladder emptying. Research resulting from data generated from an ePRO registry will factor in end user perspectives on intermittent catheterization habits and behaviors and intermittent catheter performance to inform and guide healthcare providers, end users, and caregivers in making the most informed healthcare decisions regarding intermittent catheterization. Research participants will be asked to self-report on various attributes of their currently prescribed intermittent catheters and various aspects of habits and behaviors, including health-related quality of life, of using an intermittent catheter.
