“…However, this care model may not be available for adults with SB [14]. Since the guideline search process was completed, there has been additional evidence of the limited preventive care for adults with SB related to reproductive health care and cancer screening [28][29][30][31]. Both men and women with SB may have poor understanding of their reproductive potential and face discouragement from their providers in discussing their reproductive wishes [28,32].…”

“…Sleep apnea seems to be an emerging secondary/chronic condition for SB, although there are only a few studies. Rates of diagnosis of moderate to severe sleep apnea in two single site studies are reported as 3% of those tested (< 10% of patients who were tested) [30] and 30% [31], respectively. Thus, more studies are needed to determine the best screening strategies for sleep apnea.…”

Individuals with Spina Bifida (SB) have unique lifelong medical and social needs. Thus, when considering how to promote health and offer preventive care, providers must consider how to adapt general healthcare screening and counseling recommendations to their patients’ physical and cognitive impairments along with discerning how to monitor secondary or chronic conditions common to the population. This article provides an update on the health promotion and preventive health care guidelines developed as part of the Spina Bifida Association’s fourth edition of the Guidelines for the Care of People with Spina Bifida. The guidelines highlight accommodations needed to promote general preventive health, common secondary/chronic conditions that require monitoring such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, musculoskeletal pain, and considerations for preventing acute care utilization for the SB population throughout the lifespan. Further research is needed to understand the effectiveness of preventive care interventions in promoting positive health outcomes and mitigating potentially preventable acute care utilization.

While the worldwide incidence of newborns with spinal dysraphism is decreasing, the majority of children now survive and reach adulthood, creating new challenges in patient management and long-term care. Despite medical and surgical advances with a subsequent decline in mortality, spina bifida continues to be a major cause of chronic disability and affected individuals face increased mortality in adulthood. The majority of spina bifida patients have neurogenic bladder. Reconstructive and diverting procedures may increase the neoplastic risk in the urinary tract over time, however bladder dysfunction itself may be a risk factor, therefore patients, caregivers, and physicians must be aware of the baseline risk of cancer in patients with neurogenic bladder, in addition to routine cancer screening. Optimal treatment of myelomeningocele requires a multidisciplinary care team to prevent and manage potential sequelae that may affect function, quality of life, and survival.
