Risk Factors for Postpartum Urinary Retention

Abstract

investors a shift in emphasis should be made to focus on the fact that good outcomes benefit everyone.A stronger consensus concerning priority funding areas for research and development is needed. Its absence provides the opportunity to educate funders and forge a more cohesive research agenda. The funders also recognize the need to educate others about the definition, importance, and aspects of healthy pregnancy and the consequences of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Varying opinions regarding the coordination of funding and a funding review process were present among the GAPPS team.From the findings of the GAPPS, the authors compiled a set of recommendations to improve the visibility of research focusing on pregnancy, childbirth, and early life to aid with the mobilization of funders. These recommendations are based on the premise that healthy pregnancies benefit everyone. An alliance of funders, researchers, and key stakeholders should be established. Advocacy of awareness of the magnitude of prematurity, stillbirth, and childhood problems can be advanced by the economic modeling of the true costs of prematurity. Finding common ground among funding organizations will advance the establishment of coordinated research funding and the promotion of research opportunities. Finally, coordination of pregnancy-specific biobanks and harmonization of data collection will advance the development and coordination of an international research infrastructure. The end goal is for every pregnancy to be a healthy pregnancy.

Identification of risk factors for postpartum urinary retention following vaginal deliveries: A retrospective case-control study

“…Covert PUR is defined as a post void residual bladder volume (PVRBV) superior to 150 ml, with no symptoms of urinary retention, and presents with an incidence of 9.7% [3,5]. Postpartum urinary retention can lead to urinary incontinence and detrusor atony, urinary tract infections, anuria, hydronephrosis, and even kidney failure [6][7][8].…”
