Preoperative Hypoalbuminemia, Functional Dependence, and Intraoperative Infusion Volume Associated with Postoperative Urinary Retention After Elective Spinal Surgery.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the prevalence and preoperative and intraoperative risk factors associated with postoperative urinary retention (POUR) in patients undergoing elective spinal surgery. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in China between October and November 2025. A total of 177 adult patients undergoing elective cervical, lumbar, or scoliosis surgery with planned postoperative catheter removal were included. Data collected included demographic and clinical characteristics. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to examine associations between preoperative factors and POUR. Results: POUR occurred in 14.7% of patients. Multiple analysis identified three independent risk factors for POUR: intraoperative infusion volume exceeding 2000 mL (OR = 6.714, 95% CI: 1.980-22.764, P = 0.002), lower preoperative Barthel Index scores (OR = 0.379, 95% CI: 0.243-0.590, P < 0.001), and lower preoperative serum albumin levels (OR = 0.086, 95% CI: 0.008-0.881, P = 0.039). Conclusion: Higher intraoperative fluid administration, lower functional status, and preoperative hypoalbuminemia are significant risk factors for POUR following spinal surgery. These findings provide a basis for future research aimed at developing predictive tools and targeted perioperative strategies to identify and manage patients at risk for POUR.
