Estimating acute urinary retention risk post prostate high dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy: A clinical-based recursive partitioning analysis.
CONCLUSION: The overall rate of acute urinary complications post HDR brachytherapy is low, but the individual risk of urinary retention can increase depending on the number of risk factors present. A more patient-directed retention risk estimation can be performed by using the classification risk tree presented here.
