title: The identification of patients at risk from acute retention.
abstract: Clinical and urodynamic features of patients at risk from acute retention were investigated in 2 retrospective studies. It is suggested that detrusor decompensation may be a cause of acute retention in some individuals. This factor was investigated in a series of patients with outflow obstruction by a method of repeat cystometry.
