Dysuria after endoscopic laser enucleation of the prostate: how common, how long, and which patients are at risk? A prospective cohort analysis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposePostoperative dysuria after endoscopic laser enucleation of the prostate (EEP) is common, yet its true incidence, temporal profile, and determinants remain poorly defined. We aimed to characterize the incidence, severity, and predictors of moderate-to-severe dysuria up to 6 months after EEP.
methodsIn this prospective cohort study, we analyzed 108 patients who underwent EEP using Holmium (standard or Moses
resultsModerate-to-severe dysuria (score ≥ 3) was highly prevalent early after surgery, affecting 75.9% of patients at week 1 and 29.6% at week 4, but declined sharply thereafter (8.3% at 3 months and 0.9% at 6 months). Early dysuria was associated with younger age, diabetes, and clot retention. Between 1 and 3 months, dysuria showed weak associations, with operative and functional variables, including operative time, total energy, enucleation efficiency, bipolar energy use, prior prostate biopsy, and postoperative Qmax. On exploratory multivariate analysis, younger age independently predicted early dysuria (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.84-0.97, p = 0.007), while prior prostate biopsy predicted dysuria between 1 and 3 months (OR 10.85, 95% CI 1.12-105.15, p = 0.040).
conclusionsPostoperative dysuria after EEP is highly prevalent during the early postoperative period but follows a predominantly self-limited course, with near-complete resolution after 12 weeks. These findings provide a detailed characterization of symptom evolution over time and may help improve postoperative counseling and patient expectations regarding recovery. Exploratory analyses identified associations with younger age and prior prostate biopsy.
