Postpartum Acute Urinary Retention Clinical Trial
Official title:
Determination of Risk Factors of Postpartum Urinary Retention: a Retrospective Case-control Study
Postpartum urinary retention is an uncommon complication of the vaginal delivery. Failure to
diagnose it may have a real impact both on the urinary plane but also on the psychological
level.
The hypothesis is that the identification of risk factors for the emergence of acute urinary
retention would allow preventive management. The investigator conducted a retrospective,
comparative, case-control study, including 2 groups of 96 patients who have had a vaginal
delivery in the department between 2011 and 2015. The first group included patients with
postpartum acute urinary retention (PAUR). The second group, control group, without PAUR, was
selected randomly, respecting a 1:1 matching criteria, including the year of delivery and the
age of the patient at delivery. The goal was to identify the potential risk factors of
post-partum acute urinary retention in order to define a better prevention.
