An observational study in Stroke, Ischemic, Stroke Hemorrhagic and Urinary Incontinence, sponsored by University Rehabilitation Institute, Republic of Slovenia. Recruiting at 1 site in Slovenia. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-06-15.
Sponsored by University Rehabilitation Institute, Republic of Slovenia · Observational
This observational study will address urinary disorders in subacute stroke patients. Patients without and with urinary disorders will be compared, and treatment outcome will be assessed among the latter.
This prospective observational study will include 100 patients after first ischaemic or hemorrhagic stroke directly transferred from an acute hospital to our Institute for inpatient rehabilitation. Within admission assessment, patients will be classified according to stroke type, stroke localisation and time since stroke. Comorbidities will be recorded and associated neurological deficits will be assessed. Post mictional residue will be determined in all patients one day after admission. The patients with urinary disorders will be treated according to the published official protocol, either using the immediate urination approach or the bladder diary approach. Continence will be regularly assessed by the nursing staff. Urination-disorder-related complications (pressure ulcers, falls and urinary infections), drug therapy and the use of continence aids will also be followed.
2,612 studies on the registry are indexed under Ischemic Stroke; 971 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 250 is below the median of 300 across 771 observational studies indexed under Ischemic Stroke.

Started Jun 2019 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Oct 2026, 88 months after the start.
Of 394 non-industry observational studies under Ischemic Stroke, half reached primary completion within 56 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 25 and three quarters within 140. This study's planned 88 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 436 studies reached it within 53 months; a quarter within 24 and three quarters within 127.
