Description
Prostate surgery through the urethra relieves blocked bladders, but a urinary infection follows for about one patient in seven. Pengfei Diao and co-authors build a bedside calculator for that risk in a 2025 study. Their data cover five hundred eighty men operated on between 2016 and 2022, with a later group of one hundred fifteen held back for validation.
Four factors survived the statistical sifting as independent risks: older age, diabetes, longer operating time, and longer catheter time. Infection struck about fifteen percent of the modeling group. Turned into a nomogram, a picture chart where points add to a risk, the four factors discriminated well between patients who would and would not develop infection. The authors offer the chart for targeting prevention, closer watching, and shorter catheter time, at the men most likely to benefit.
