This is the first retrospective study to investigate the predictive factors for successful trial catheter removal in women with urinary retention. A serum albumin value >3 mg/dl at diagnosis of urinary retention was a significant independent predictor of catheter-free status after trial catheter removal, and age < 70 years-old was a possible contributor. There was no evidence that oral medication contributed to catheter-free status.
