Popis: Abstract Objective To examine the safety and efficacy of prostatic urethral lift (PUL) in acute urinary retention (AUR) patients within a controlled (PULSAR) and real‐world setting (Real‐World Retrospective study). Materials and methods PULSAR was a 12‐month prospective study of PUL in AUR patients (n = 51) performed at six centres in the United Kingdom; enrolled BPH patients aged ≥50 years, with prostate volume of ≤100 cc. AUR was defined as being catheter dependent with at least one prior failed trial without catheter (TWOC) while on an alpha‐blocker. RWR consisted of 3226 consecutive PUL patients across 22 international sites treated between July 2017 and March 2020; 469 of whom were in urinary retention (RWRr), that is, catheter‐dependent at the time of their procedure. Symptom response, uroflow and catheter independence rates were compared between PULSAR and RWRr subjects. A logistical regression model was constructed to evaluate patient baseline and dynamic factors predicting success after the procedure. Results Seventy‐three percent of PULSAR subjects were catheter independent and free from surgical reintervention at 12 months post‐PUL. Success was associated with higher voiding efficiency during the perioperative period. Slightly higher catheter‐independent rates (80%) were seen in RWRr patients; variables that influenced success included age
