Factors associated with catheter-related bladder discomfort and its correlation with urinary catheter-related pain after minimally invasive urological surgery: a retrospective cohort study
Authors' conclusion
This observational study reveals a high incidence of CRBD after minimally invasive urological surgery. Factors independently associated with CRBD include male sex, endoscopic surgery, absence of postoperative analgesia, and UCRP score > 3. Furthermore, UCRP severity was positively correlated with the severity of CRBD.
