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<0.001), intraventricular hemorrhage (P<0.001), admitted Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) (P<0.001), GCS before urinary catheter removal (P<0.001), smoking (P=0.011), herniation (P<0.001), urine protein (P=0.013), creatinine (P=0.037), and timing of urinary catheter removal (P<0.001) were significantly different among the 2 groups. Multiple logistical regression analysis indicated that GCS before urinary catheter removal (odds ratio=1.171; 95% confidence interval=1.050-1.306; P=0.005) and timing for urinary catheter removal (odds ratio=0.962; 95% confidence interval=0.944-0.981; P<0.001) were associated with failure of urinary catheter removal. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that GCS before urinary catheter removal and the timing of urinary catheter removal are independent factors associated with failure of urinary catheter removal among patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
