Health-related Quality of Life of Patients With Neurogenic Bladder

Bladder management has a major impact on the quality of life in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction. This a prospective investigation of the effects of the method for bladder evacuation on the health-related quality of life in patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction. The changes in health-related quality of life over time (longitudinal investigation) and the differences between the different methods for bladder evacuation will be investigated. Patients will be given a standardized and validated questionnaire annually for 10 years.
