[Correlation of storage symptoms or overactive bladder symptoms post transurethral resection of the prostate with the duration of catheter use in a patient with urinary retention due to benign prostate hyperplasia].

AIM: This study aims to find out the correlation of catheter use duration with the incidence of OABS post TURP in patients with urinary retention due to BPH.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

An observational analytical research correlation with a cohort approach was carried out on 29 patients with urinary retention due to BPH post TURP in five hospitals in Padang from January to August 2019. Data collected included the characteristics and duration of catheter use, obtained through interviews using questionnaires, OABS were obtained based on the total score of the overactive bladder symptoms score (OABSS) standard questionnaire. The numerical variable measurement scale is between the duration of catheter use and OABSS post TURP with the Pearson test using IBM SPSS software v23.

RESULTS

The average of catheter used duration was 14,9+/-8,0 days, and the total OABSS score was 4,7+/-2,5. Bivariate analysis showed a positive correlation with a weak strength between the duration of catheter used and the total OABSS score (Pearsons correlation, r=0,396, p=0,033). The longer the catheter is used, the higher the total OABSS.

CONCLUSION

The longer the catheter used increase the incidence of OABS post TURP, it is necessary to shorten the duration of catheter use to decrease the incidence and severity of OABS in urinary retention due to BPH patients post TURP.
