Indwelling catheter is a routine procedure in surgical patients. Studies have shown that prolonged indwelling urinary catheterization increases the risk of postoperative urinary tract infection. Although early removal of the urinary catheter after operation can reduce the risk of postoperative urinary symptoms and tract infections, it may lead to postoperative anesthetic dysuria. Therefore, this study investigates the urinary retention and related risk factors in patients after thoracoscopic lobectomy under general anesthesia. The clinical data of 214 patients who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of a tertiary class A cancer hospital in Beijing from July 2020 to April 2021 were collected. A risk prediction model was established by logistic regression analysis, and the prediction effect was determined using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The incidence of indwelling catheter after thoracoscopic lobectomy was 44.8% (96/214). Sex (OR = 21.102, 95% CI: 2.906-153.239, P=0.003), perception of shame (OR = 74.256, 95% CI: 6.171-893.475, P=0.001), age (OR = 1.095, 95% CI: 1.014-1.182, P=0.021), and bed rest time (OR = 1.598, 95% CI: 1.263-2.023, P < 0.021) were the factors influencing urinary retention after thoracoscopic lobectomy. This model can effectively predict the occurrence of postoperative urinary retention in patients with lung cancer and help medical staff to intervene effectively before the onset of urinary retention, which provides reference for preventive treatment and nursing intervention.
