There is lack of data for these patients during the first 18 months of long-term rehabilitation in an institutional setting.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patient records to collect data on demographic characteristics, injury level, injury severity, time since injury, bladder management methods (such as an indwelling catheter [IC], clean intermittent catheterization [CIC], or self-voiding [S]); we correlated these data with the findings of the renal tract US.Results: The study included 73 out of 81 male participants. The mean patient age was 29.99 years; the study group included 34.2% tetraplegics and 65.8% people with paraplegia. The time since injury was 6\u201312 months for 42.5% of the subjects and 12\u201318 months for 57.5% of the subjects. A normal US scan was recorded in 65.7% patients, and bladder trabeculation was the commonest finding in 15.1% of the subjects, followed by hydronephrosis (HDN) in 12.3%, and renal calculus and atrophy in 1.3% participants each. We found 22.22% of the IC group participants had higher US abnormalities than those in the reflex voiding group (statistically non-significant difference, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;=0.7). Trabeculations (21.4%) and HDN (19%) were more common in those who had sustained the injury 12\u201318 months previously as compared to that in those who had injured themselves 6\u201312 months previously (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;=0.04). The proportion of patients who had a normal US scan was higher in the group who sustained the injury 6\u201312 months previously versus those who had sustained the injury 12\u201318 months previously; the difference was statistically significant (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;=0.02). There was no significant (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;=0.72) correlation in the bladder management method, injury level, and renal tract abnormalities between the groups.Conclusions: This retrospective study shows that 65% of TSCI participants had no renal tract abnormality on US scan and bladder trabeculation ruled out as the most common finding. Long-term supervised rehabilitation may help achieve good renal quality of life; however, further prospective trials are required on this subject.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.31616\/asj.2020.0471","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,18]],"date-time":"2021-05-18T07:07:31Z","timestamp":1621321651000},"page":"204-211","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.31616\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Incidence
