Abstract
RESULTS: 126 patients were enrolled from March 2014 to July 2015. Logistic regression models to predict recovery within 14 days was dependent upon age (below 70, OR 4.11?2.18, p1⁄40.008), retention volume (over 450, OR 0.22?0.14, p1⁄40.017; over 600, OR 0.26?0.15, p1⁄40.024), recent operation (vs. spontaneous, OR 4.38?2.26, p1⁄40.004), and sex (females were less likely with OR 0.11?0.06, p<0.001) (p<0.001, ROC AUC1⁄40.83). CONCLUSIONS: The study generally disregards the cause of retention, attempting to present a general outline of when to expect recovery from acute urinary retention, unrelated to urological interventions. The results suggest that old age, female sex, and spontaneous occurrence are risks of delayed recovery. Furthermore, retention amounts incrementally at 450 and 600ml increase risk of delayed recovery.
