SRIRANGAM, P.H. O REILLY and G.N. COLLINS Stepping Hill Hospital, Urology, Stockport, Cheshire, UK Accepted for publication 5 August 2003 OBJECTIVE To analyse current practice in the management of acute urinary retention (AUR) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in the UK, and to assess how much of this is evidence-based. METHODS In all, 410 consultant urologists practising in UK hospitals were sent a questionnaire about the management of AUR secondary to BPH. Data were collected on practice relating to initial management, trial without catheter (TWOC), the use of a-blockers and the followup. The need for a uniform guideline in the management of AUR secondary to BPH was also assessed. RESULTS We received 270 (66%) replies, of which six were excluded because they were from subspeciality interests (e.g. paediatric urology) or had ambiguous answers; 264 (64%) were therefore available for analysis. Urethral catheterization was the initial management of choice (98%), failing which a suprapubic catheter was inserted. Two-thirds (65.5%) admitted the patient after catheterization. Most consultants initiated a-blockers (70.5%), with 64% (118) of these using a TWOC 2 days after starting them. One failed TWOC was an indication for transurethral resection of the prostate for 192 (72.8%), with 136 (49.8%) re-admitting the patient for surgery later. Routine follow-up after a successful TWOC was advocated by 77.3%. Just over half the respondents (52.6%) felt that there was no need for uniform guidelines in the management of AUR secondary to BPH. CONCLUSION This survey identified a reasonable national uniformity in managing AUR secondary to BPH in the UK, but significant aspects of current practice are not evidence-based. KEYWORDS acute urinary retention, management, a-blocker, trial without catheter, BPH, surgery INTRODUCTION Acute urinary retention (AUR) remains the most common urological emergency and is usually caused by BPH [1]. We sought to assess the current practice in the management of AUR secondary to BPH in the UK, and to what degree this was evidence-based. METHODS Within the UK, 410 consultant urologists were sent a questionnaire about the management of AUR specifically secondary to BPH. We received 270 (65.9%) responses, of which six were excluded from the analysis because of their speciality interests (paediatric urology) or ambiguity in the answers. The remaining 264 were evaluated. RESULTS Most urologists preferred urethral catheterization as the initial management, failing which a suprapubic catheter was inserted (98%). Apart from routine blood investigations, ultrasonography (26.5%), a plain film of the abdomen (15.5%) and PSA assay (24.6%) were part of the routine assessment by some. Nearly 71% (186) started their patients on a-blockers, with 64% (118) using a trial without catheter (TWOC) 2 days after starting them; 39% (103) used a TWOC only if the residual urine volume was <1 L at the time of initial catheterization, and 77% followed patients who had had a successful TWOC. One failed TWOC was an indication for TURP for 72.8% (192) of the respondents, with 49.8% (136/233) undertaking TURP at a separate admission. A second TWOC was advocated by 31 (11.7%) and the duration of catheterization was between 2 days and 6 weeks. Of the respondents, 139 (52.6%) felt that there was no need for any uniform guidelines for managing AUR secondary to BPH. The results are summarized in Table 1. DISCUSSION AUR is characterized by a sudden inability to void that is usually but not always painful. In a community-based study from Minnesota, men aged years had a 10% chance of developing AUR in the subsequent 5 years [2]. The exact cause of AUR remains poorly understood. Some of the suggested causes are prostate infection, bladder overdistension, excessive fluid intake, alcohol consumption, a-adrenergic overactivity, sexual activity and prostatic infarction [3 6]. Risk factors include age, moderate to mild symptoms, a urinary flow rate of <12 ml/s, a prostate volume of >30 ml (on TRUS) and an increasing serum PSA level [2,7,8]. AUR can be classified as precipitated (e.g. resulting from surgery to other than the prostate, anaesthesia or medications) or spontaneous. This has implications for managing these patients, as those with spontaneous AUR may be more likely to require surgical intervention than the precipitated group [9]. Previously AUR was considered to be an absolute indication for prostatectomy [10]; since the advent of a-blockers this concept has changed. AUR results in 25 32% of men undergoing prostatectomy [11 13]. Some urologists consider the presence of previous LUTS before AUR to be a relative indication for TURP [14] BJU INTERNATIONAL 93, doi: /j x x

Suprapubic catheterization (SPC) is used when this fails, but SPC has the advantages that the incidence of UTI and urethral stricture are less [15 17]. Also patients requiring a TWOC can have their catheter spigoted, and hence those failing to void do not need to be recatheterized, thus reducing further trauma. Complications of SPC including bowel perforation and dislodgement, which although infrequent must be considered [16,18]. Other factors in favour of SPC include comfort, easier management and costeffectiveness [15,16]. These have to be balanced against the fact that most patients presenting with AUR present to the Accident and Emergency department, where personnel may not be trained in SPC. This may have to be addressed if SPC is to become the initial management in AUR. After the initial management patients are either admitted, or sent home and reviewed in the outpatient clinic. In the present survey 65.5% of the respondents admitted their patients and 19.3% would admit patients only if renal factors were deranged. Evidence suggests that it is safe to send patients presenting with AUR home after catheterization and have them return later for a TURP [14]. However, this group of patients sent home are more likely to require antibiotics, perhaps explained by the longer duration of catheterization than in patients undergoing TURP during the same admission [14]. The other issue of using valuable bedspace needs to be considered. In another study, only a minority (11%) with AUR sent home immediately after catheterization found the catheter very inconvenient during their daily activities [19]. Intermittent selfcatheterization is another alternative to catheterization. This may be difficult in the emergency setting but can be used in those patients who fail a TWOC during their wait to undergo surgery, and it has been shown to be advantageous in reducing the incidence of UTI [20]. The TWOC has become standard practice in most hospitals for men in AUR with normal renal values. Only 11 of 60 patients who were followed for 6 months avoided surgery after a successful TWOC [21]. Increasing the period of drainage of the bladder before a TWOC improves the chances of success (44%, 51% 2004 BJU INTERNATIONAL 85
3 R. MANIKANDAN ET AL. and 62% success at day 0, 2 and 7, respectively) [22]. Patients with precipitated AUR have a higher chance of successful TWOC than those who had spontaneous AUR [23]. Factors associated with an unsuccessful TWOC are age >75 years, a residual drained urine volume of >1 L and a detrusor contraction of <35 cmh 2 O [24]. With the advent of a-blockers more men are having a TWOC after using an a-blocker [25 27]. The choice of a particular type of a- blocker depends on the clinicians preference; nearly 71% (186) in the present survey started their patients with AUR on a-blockers. In the study of McNeill et al. [27], 81 patients were randomized to receive either a placebo or alfuzosin, and the success rates for a TWOC were 29% (12/41) and 55% (22/40), respectively. Of those who had a successful TWOC, 32% (11/34) had a further episode of AUR at a mean of 4.1 months, although the authors failed to say what percentage of these were from the alfuzosin group. However, they suggested that patients who had subsequent AUR were those who had larger postvoid residual volumes after their successful TWOC. Whether a-blockers are successful in preventing a further episode of AUR is doubtful [25]. The follow-up is short and there are few patients in studies assessing this, and long-term studies are needed with a larger group of patients. Most (77.3%) of the respondents in the survey followed patients who had a successful TWOC; this is advisable, given that 77 85% of patients with AUR will require surgical intervention within 1 2 years after presentation [28,29]. Surgical intervention is generally considered to be the endpoint for AUR; TURP remains the reference standard for BPH. One failed TWOC was an indication for TURP according to 72.8% of the urologists surveyed. Prostatectomy undertaken in men with moderate to severe symptoms substantially reduced the risk of AUR over the subsequent 5 years [30]. The complications and risk of death at 30 days (relative risk 26.6) and 90 days (relative risk 4.4) after TURP for AUR are higher than in those who have TURP electively. The present study could not confirm that a short period of catheter drainage at home before TURP would be advantageous [14]. This survey shows that there is reasonable uniformity in the management of AUR secondary to BPH in the UK. Some areas in the management are evidence-based, including starting a-blockers and the follow-up of patients after a successful TWOC, whereas the need for admitting all patients with AUR, the route of catheterization, assessing PSA levels in AUR and the timing of a TWOC are not necessarily evidence-based. The opinions about the requirement for uniform guidelines for managing AUR secondary to BPH are divided. We propose that those patients in AUR with no significant comorbidity or deranged renal function are discharged home after catheterization, preferably by the suprapubic route. Assessing the PSA level should be avoided, a-blockers should be started and a TWOC undertaken at 1 week; as noted, the overall management must be individualized for the patient.
