Development and validation of a nomogram model for predicting acute urinary retention after transrectal prostate biopsy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Post-biopsy acute urinary retention (AUR) is still a common complication, often leading to extended hospital stays and greater patient discomfort. This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram for the early identification of AUR after transrectal prostate biopsy (TRPB).

Methods

We collected data on patients who underwent TRPB at The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 2019 and November 2023, including all characteristics and prostate morphological parameters. A total of 403 patients were screened for eligibility, and after strict screening, 333 patients were included in the study. These patients were randomly divided into a development cohort (n=233) and a validation cohort (n=100) in a 7:3 ratio. Moreover, the International P
