“…If a man aged 50-79 years was present he was interviewed about EP by telephone. The current frequency and severity of urinary symptoms was measured using the American Urological Association-Symptom Index (AUA-SI) questionnaire, which generates a symptom score defined as mild (0-7), moderate (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19) or severe (20-35). Any interviewed man with EP was asked if his spouse could also be interviewed.…”

This questionnaire-based survey evaluated the frequency and severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and the prevalence of enlarged prostate (EP) diagnosis and its impact on quality of life and spousal relationships among 41000 American men aged 450 years. A quarter of men suffered moderate to severe LUTS and 55% of those consulting a doctor had EP. EP negatively affected patient quality of life and caused relationship strain with spouses. These findings confirm that LUTS and EP are prevalent in the US population, affecting both patient and spouse, and may help in developing management strategies for EP.

Study Type – Prognosis (cohort)Level of Evidence 2aWhat's known on the subject? and What does the study add?Higher mortality and morbidity rates in men presenting with AUR have been reported in previous studies.This study has comprehensive comparisons of post‐TURP complications between patients with and without AUR. Furthermore, it shows that AUR is associated with increased risk of complications after TURP.OBJECTIVE To assess the association between a history of acute urinary retention (AUR) and complications after transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective, national, population‐based study using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. We included men > 50 years old, diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and divided these into two groups: an AUR+ group – those with AUR who underwent TURP between 2002 and 2004; and an AUR‐ group – those without AUR who underwent TURP between those dates. Prostate cancer, Parkinsonism and multiple sclerosis were exclusion criteria. Postoperative complications, e.g. re‐catheterization, haematuria or urinary tract infection (UTI), were compared using crude odds ratios (ORs), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and Student's t‐test. A chi‐squared test was used for potential confounding factors: preoperative UTI and anticoagulant use. Univariate and multivariate analysis on medical expenses were conducted. RESULTS The AUR+ group contained 3305 men; the AUR‐ group contained 1062. Re‐catheterization (13.8%), septicaemia (1.1%) and shock (0.3%) were found only in the AUR+ group. The AUR+ group had more UTIs (18.9% vs. 15.6%, OR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.05–1.52), more lower urinary tract symptoms (22.8% vs. 16.9%, OR: 1.45, 95% CI: 1.21–1.73), fewer blood transfusions (3.2% vs. 1.5%, OR: 2.19, 95% CI: 1.29–3.72) and higher medical expenses. There were no significant differences in haematuria, lower urinary tract stricture, or re‐surgical intervention of the prostate and second‐line antibiotic use. CONCLUSION Patients in Taiwan with BPH with AUR who were treated by TURP were associated with a higher risk of complications, longer hospital stay and more comorbidities than those without AUR and a preoperative warning is warranted for these patients.

“…Its incidence is reported to be three to seven per 100,000 persons per year. 3,4 Acute urinary retention during pregnancy is even rare. Etiologies of retention of urine are retroversion of the uterus, a history of pelvic inflammatory disease, and pelvic masses like malignancies, large fibroids.…”
