Validation of measures for perioperative urinary catheter use, urinary retention, and urinary catheter-related trauma in surgical patients - 22/02/24
, Jessica Ameling b , Cheryl Rocker c , Catherine Sulich b , M. Todd Greene b, d , Jennifer Meddings b, d, e Abstract |
Background |
The effects of non-infectious urinary catheter-related complications such as measurements of indwelling urinary catheter overuse, catheter-related trauma, and urinary retention are not well understood.
Methods |
This was a retrospective cohort study of 200 patients undergoing general surgery operations. Variables to measure urinary catheter use, trauma, and retention were developed, then surgical cases were abstracted. Inter- and intra-rater reliability were calculated for measure validation.
Results |
129 of 200 (65%) had an indwelling urinary catheter placed at the time of surgery. 32 patients (16%) had urinary retention, and variation was observed in the treatment of urinary retention. 12 patients (6%) had urinary trauma. Rater reliability was high (>90% agreement for all) for the dichotomous outcomes of urinary catheter use, urinary catheter-related trauma, and urinary retention.
Conclusions |
This study suggests a persistent high rate of catheter use, significant rates of urinary retention and trauma, and variation in the management of retention.

Highlights |
• | Urinary catheter-related complications are a common source of harm to surgical patients. |
• | Measures of urinary catheter overuse, catheter-related trauma, and urinary retention do not exist. |
• | We developed and validated measures of urinary catheter, use and retention in general surgery patients. |
• | Pilot data suggest measure feasibility and targets for quality improvement. |
