Fuck the prom urinate
This has a potentially detrimental effect on both patients and services, due to the need for urinary catheterisation and admission. Post-operative urinary retention (POUR) anecdotally occurs in a significant proportion of male patients following inguinal hernia repair. RETAINER II is a prospective, qualitative study, recruiting patients to guide the creation of a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for elective inguinal hernia repair.Urinary retention following inguinal hernia repair has a marked impact on patients and creates a significant financial and logistical burden for hospital services.RETAINER I aims to explore the incidence of and risk factors for urinary retention following elective inguinal hernia repair.RETAINER (RETention of urine After INguinal hernia Elective Repair) I is a prospective, multicentre, international observational study.This patient pool will provide an excellent opportunity to develop a PROM using appropriate qualitative methodology. Validity, reliability, sensitivity and reproducibility will be assessed using the QQ-10 and standard psychometric methodology.Ĭonclusions: Using an international multicentre collaborative approach will produce the necessary volume of patients, whilst capturing inter-centre variability, to accurately reflect POUR rates and allow analysis of risk factors. RETAINER II: A patient reported outcome measure will be developed using representative patient focus groups for item generation, from which an initial questionnaire will be developed and piloted. Secondary outcomes will be identification of factors predisposing to POUR and the impact of POUR. Primary outcome will be development of POUR, defined as the need for insertion of a urinary catheter as determined by the treating clinician. Standardised data collection will include patient and perioperative factors. All patients undergoing elective IH repair (minimally-invasive/open) will be eligible. Methods: RETAINER I: We propose a 24-week prospective study with voluntary international participation in 4 week blocks. Develop and validate a patient reported outcome measure (PROM) for inguinal hernia repair.Assess the rate, risk factors and impact related to POUR post IH repair.Our aim is to perform a two-phase, multi-centre prospective study to: Separately, in the field of IHR, there has been a lack of research into patients’ perceptions of surgical ‘success’. POUR risks patient distress, catheter-complications and a financial and logistical burden to services. The magnitude of the problem is unclear, and contradictory evidence surrounds postulated risk factors. Purpose: Post-operative urinary retention (POUR) is a well-recognised complication of inguinal hernia repair (IHR).
