Analysis of the Failure of Removal of the Urinary Catheter for Patients With Intracerebral Hemorrhage Postoperatively

Background: We conducted this study to assess the value of clinically relevant data for predicting the failure of removing urinary catheters among patients with intracerebral hemorrhage postoperatively. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of all patients with intracerebral hemorrhage who underwent surgery for removal of intracerebral hematoma between January 2014 and December 2019, all of whom retained their urinary catheter. The patients were classified into 2 groups. Group A included patients who underwent successful removal of the catheter while group B included patients who underwent a failed removal. Univariate analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the failure of catheter removal and the patients’ preoperative clinical characteristics. Independent prognostic predictors were identified using multivariate analyses. Results: The site of intracerebral hematoma (P=0.004), volume of hematoma (P
