In the present manuscript, after reporting the available evidence, a working group of the Urodynamics Committee of the International Continence Society (ICS) provides the current knowledge and recommendations on patients\u2019 assessment, indications, role, technical aspects, and follow\u2010up of urodynamic studies in SCI patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The working group has analyzed the current available evidence\u2010based literature leading to a Delphi consensus formation by the members of the working group. A set of questions derived from the search were answered online on several occasions by an international panel of specialists. A 1\u2010day face\u2010to\u2010face meeting of the experts finalized the discussion. Recommendations and expert opinions were finally reviewed by all the members of the ICS Urodynamics Committee on SCI core panel.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Six experts participated in the four phases of the consensus process. Evidence was reviewed. There was substantial variability in the level and quality of detail reported across the literature yield. Several papers reported insufficient detail to allow synthesis of outcomes across studies. The findings of this preliminary review have been used to generate guidelines for best practice of urodynamics in SCI patients. The working group included recommendations for patients\u2019 pre\u2010testing and urodynamic tests execution. Best practices were given as expert opinions where evidence was lacking.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Urodynamic is highly recommended for patients with SCI after a proper initial assessment. Regular urodynamic follow\u2010up is recommended to avoid upper urinary tract damage. However, until now, there is limited evidence on how frequently urodynamic control should be performed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/nau.23369","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,1]],"date-time":"2017-08-01T11:23:00Z","timestamp":1501586580000},"page":"581-591","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Urodynamics in patients with spinal cord injury: A clinical review and best practice paper by a working group of The International Continence Society Urodynamics Committee"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4965-6898","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brigitte","family":"Schurch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Neurosciences Neuropsychology and Neurorehabilitation Service Vaudois University Hospital of Lausanne Lausanne Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5138-3177","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valerio","family":"Iacovelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Medicine and Surgery Unit of Functional Urology Tor Vergata University Hospital University of Rome Tor Vergata Rome Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8127-7153","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcio A.","family":"Averbeck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology Moinhos de Vento Hospital Porto Alegre Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefano","family":"Carda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Neurosciences Neuropsychology and Neurorehabilitation Service Vaudois University Hospital of Lausanne Lausanne Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Waleed","family":"Altaweel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre Alfaisal University Riyadh Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0308-8824","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Enrico","family":"Finazzi Agr\u00f2","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Medicine and Surgery Unit of Functional Urology Tor Vergata University Hospital University of Rome Tor Vergata Rome Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sc.1992.124"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","first-page":"73","article-title":"Late causes of death and life expectancy in paraplegia","volume":"85","author":"Breithaupt DJ","year":"1961","journal-title":"Can Med Assoc J"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","first-page":"457","article-title":"Life expectancy, survival rates, and causes of death in civilian patients with spinal cord trauma","volume":"47","author":"Freed MM","year":"1966","journal-title":"Arch Phys Med Rehabil"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/neu.2009.1138"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/2046-4053-4-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","unstructured":"HowickJ ChalmersI GlasziouP et al.
