Brief summary

The aim of the study is to investigate known urinary biomarkers in order to determine whether they can be predictive of a risk of damage to the upper urinary tract and therefore the kidneys in patients with spina bifida. The risk of damage to the upper urinary tract can be calculated using the Galloway score, based on the results of the urodynamic study and retrograde urethrocystography, which all patients with spina bifida have regularly. The urinary biomarkers studied TIMP-2 (Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2) and MMP-2 (matrix metalloproteinase-2) are potentially associated with renal degradation, but this has not yet been demonstrated. Volunteers to take part in the study will have their biomarkers measured at the time of their urodynamic assessment.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Verify if levels of urinary biomarkers Metalloproteinase Inhibitor 2 and matrix metalloproteinase-2 are associated with Galloway score1 dayLogistic regression based on composite analysis of Galloway score (≤ 5 (low risk) or \>5 (high risk)) and the rate of urinary biomarkers.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Success or failure of treatment1 yearThe success of the treatment will be assessed at 1 year after its implementation according to an hybrid criteria : In the event of a Patients Global Impression of Improvement for Incontinence questionnaire \< 3 and/or a Galloway score reduction of 1 or 2, the treatment will be considered successful.
Relationship between the success of the treatment implemented at inclusion and the level of urinary biomarkers1 yearThe relationship between the success of the treatment implemented at inclusion and the level of the urinary biomarkers Metalloproteinase Inhibitor 2 Anticorps and matrix metalloproteinase-2 at inclusion will be studied.
Bladder hypocompliance based on metabolomic profile at inclusion0 dayPresence or absence of bladder hypocompliance on urodynamic assessment at baseline, based on metabolomic profile at baseline.
Galloway score1 yearChange in Galloway score from baseline to 1 year based on change in urinary biomarkers Metalloproteinase Inhibitor 2 and matrix metalloproteinase-2
Bladder hypocompliance based on MRI radiomic markers at 1 year1 yearPresence or absence of bladder hypocompliance on urodynamic assessment at 1 year according to MRI radiomic markers at 1 year
Presence of biomarkers on bladder histological specimensFrom enrollment to 1 yearPresence of Metalloproteinase Inhibitor 2 Anticorps and matrix metalloproteinase-2 biomarkers on bladder histological specimens based on levels of urinary Metalloproteinase Inhibitor 2 Anticorps and matrix metalloproteinase-2 biomarkers respectively.
Bladder hypocompliance based on MRI radiomic markers at inclusion0 dayPresence or absence of bladder hypocompliance on the urodynamic work-up at inclusion, based on MRI radiomic markers at inclusion.
