The risk of UTS among patients with SCI is influenced by age, sex, injury site, and paraplegia but not by paralysis resulting from other neurological deficits. Even though SCI incidence is declining annually, severe SCI remains a significant issue. Therefore, continuing to reduce SCI incidence and strengthening urinary tract management in patients with SCI are essential for reducing UTS occurrence and their impact on health.
