Methods: Urine loss was measured by using a standardized, validated PAD-test within 24 h after removal of the transurethral catheter, and was grouped as a loss of &lt;1, 1\u201310, 11\u201350, and &gt;50 g of urine, respectively. Early UC (median: 3 months) was defined as the usage of no or one safety-pad. Uni- and multivariable logistic regression models tested the correlation between PAD-test results and early UC. Covariates consisted of age, BMI, nerve-sparing approach, prostate volume, and extraprostatic extension of tumor. Results: From 01\/2018 to 03\/2021, 100 patients undergoing RP with data available for a PAD-test and early UC were retrospectively identified. Ultimately, 24%, 47%, 15%, and 14% of patients had a loss of urine &lt;1 g, 1\u201310 g, 11\u201350 g, and &gt;50 g in PAD-test, respectively. Additionally, 59% of patients reported to be continent. In multivariable logistic regression models, urine loss in PAD-test predicted early UC (OR: 0.21 vs. 0.09 vs. 0.03; for urine loss 1\u201310 g vs. 11\u201350 g vs. &gt;50 g, Ref: &lt;1 g; all p &lt; 0.05). Conclusions: Urine loss after catheter removal strongly correlated with early continence as well as a severity in urinary incontinence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/curroncol28060399","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,15]],"date-time":"2021-11-15T20:46:47Z","timestamp":1637009207000},"page":"4738-4747","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Correlation of Urine Loss after Catheter Removal and Early Continence in Men Undergoing Radical Prostatectomy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Benedikt","family":"Hoeh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, 60323 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"},{"name":"Cancer Prognostics and Health Outcomes Unit, Division of Urology, University of Montr\u00e9al Health Center, Montr\u00e9al, QC H3T 1C5, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Felix","family":"Preisser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, 60323 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mike","family":"Wenzel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, 60323 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Clara","family":"Humke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, 60323 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Clarissa","family":"Wittler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, 60323 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan L.","family":"Hohenhorst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cancer Prognostics and Health Outcomes Unit, Division of Urology, University of Montr\u00e9al Health Center, Montr\u00e9al, QC H3T 1C5, Canada"},{"name":"Martini-Klinik Prostate Cancer Center, University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf, 20246 Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maja","family":"Volckmann-Wilde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, 60323 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jens","family":"K\u00f6llermann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dr. Senckenberg Institute of Pathology, University Hospital Frankfurt, 60590 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Steuber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Martini-Klinik Prostate Cancer Center, University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf, 20246 Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Markus","family":"Graefen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Martini-Klinik Prostate Cancer Center, University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf, 20246 Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Derya","family":"Tilki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Martini-Klinik Prostate Cancer Center, University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf, 20246 Hamburg, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Urology, University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf, 20246 Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pierre I.","family":"Karakiewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cancer Prognostics and Health Outcomes Unit, Division of Urology, University of Montr\u00e9al Health Center, Montr\u00e9al, QC H3T 1C5, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreas","family":"Becker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, 60323 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luis A.","family":"Kluth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, 60323 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Felix K.
