Predictive factors for the success of trial catheter removal for women with urinary retention
ConclusionsThis is the first retrospective study to investigate the predictive factors for successful trial catheter removal in women with urinary retention. A serum albumin value>3 mg/dl at diagnosis of urinary retention was a significant independent predictor of catheter-free status after trial catheter removal, and age < 70 years-old was a possible contributor. There was no evidence that oral medication contributed to catheter-free status.
