C06014 | Bladder empty need awareness indicator | BladEmpNeedAwreInd | Indicator of whether the participant is aware that he/she needs to empty his/her bladder | Indicator of whether the participant is aware that he/she needs to empty his/her bladde | Awareness of the need to empty the bladder | No;Yes;Not applicable;Not known | No;Yes;Not applicable;Not known | Alphanumeric |
Choose one. Awareness of the need to empty the bladder indicates any kind of bladder sensation as defined by International Continence Society (Abrams et al. 2002), i.e. normal (the individual is aware of bladder filling and increasing sensation up to a strong desire to void), increased (the individual feels an early and persistent desire to void), reduced (the individual is aware of bladder filling but does not feel a definite desire to void) or non-specific bladder sensation (the individual reports no specific bladder sensation, but may perceive bladder filling as abdominal fullness, vegetative symptoms like sweating or spasticity). No awareness of the need to empty the bladder should be noted as "no". Absent bladder sensation according to the definition of bladder sensation by the International Continence Society (the individual reports no sensation of bladder filling or desire to void) (Abrams et al. 2002) is not exactly the same as filling sensation and desire to void can be absent while temperature sensation or electrosensation can be present. "Not applicable" is to be used when the individual with spinal cord lesion has for example an unclamped indwelling catheter or non-continent urinary diversion. Response of "Not applicable" includes too young to determine. |

Respiratory insufficiency is common following spinal cord lesions. Ventilatory assistance devices include, but are not limited to: mechanical ventilators, phrenic nerve stimulators, diaphragmatic pacers, external negative pressure devices, and bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP). These devices do not include routine administration of oxygen, intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB), or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Wording of this variable reflects the International Spinal Cord Injury Core Data Set for the type of ventilatory assistance used to sustain respiration at discharge after the initial rehabilitation period following the spinal lesion (DeVivo et al. 2006). As the situation may have changed since discharge from the initial inpatient period the question is asked. |

Being able to distinguish between single versus multiple levels of spinal column injury is often challenging. Critical to this distinction is the fact that a single injury may occur; i) at one vertebral level (e.g. C6 Burst Fracture); ii) at a single motion segment (e.g. a C5-6 bilateral facet dislocation) where a motion segment is defined as two adjacent vertebrae and their interconnecting discs and |

Any of the following methods may be used separate or in combination: normal voiding, voluntary bladder reflex triggering, bladder expression, intermittent catheterization, or sacral anterior root stimulation. If a combination of methods is used during the same bladder emptying it should only be counted as one bladder emptying. The number is given as an average for the last week only, as the individual is not expected to remember this for a longer period of time. The number is given as the nearest integer number. |

C06430 | Disc posterior ligamentous complex injury indicator | DiscPostrLigmntComplxInjInd | For each of the level(s) of the spinal-injured vertebra(e) whether there was evidence of either a disc or a posterior ligamentous complex injury (occiput to sacrum). Posterior ligamentous complex injury is defined as the presence of acute disruption or injury to the posterior ligamentous complex through the spinal column from the occiput to the level of the sacrum. Disc Injury is defined as a traumatic disruption of the annulus of the disc through either distraction, translation, or rotation. It will also include a traumatic disc protrusion causing a spinal cord injury. Isolated traumatic disc injuries commonly occur with hyper-extension mechanisms in the cervical spine | Question to find out if the client has a disc/posterior ligamentous complex injury | Disc/posterior ligamentous complex injury | No;Yes;Unknown | No;Yes;Unknown | Alphanumeric |
Choose one - This is to be filled in for each level of injury, starting with the most cephalic injury. Acute injury to the posterior ligamentous complex should be diagnosed clinically or radiographically. Clinical evidence relies on the presence of marked local bruising and/or a palpable interspinous gap possibly with local tenderness. Radiologic diagnosis is dependent on the existence of a widened interspinous space on AP or lateral x-ray or reformatted CT of the spine, or by appropriate MRI. It may also appear as avulsion of a bone from the spinous processes or lamina. When a traumatic injury to the disc and annulus occurs in association with posterior element distraction, subluxation, or dislocation, this will be recorded as a disc and posterior ligamentous complex injury. In the case of multiple spinal column injuries, a separate entry will be filled out for each level of spinal column injury. |

Bladder reflex triggering including into a collection system, e.g. condom catheter may be voluntary and thus not considered as incontinence. However, if the condom or ostomy bag fall off and the individual complains of incontinence then it should be recorded as "Yes". In each specific circumstance the urinary incontinence should be further described by specifying relevant factors such as type, frequency, severity, precipitating factors, social impact, effect on hygiene and quality of life, etc. (Abrams et al. 2002). In the Basic Data Set only a simple indication of severity and collection of urine is given. More detailed information is to be given in an Expanded Data Set (Biering-SØrensen et al. 2006). |
