Obstetrics and Gynecology International 3 Table 2: Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (OR) (95% conﬁdence interval) for speciﬁc complication by body mass index (BMI). BMI <30/≥30 Unadjusted OR Adjusted OR∗ Bladder injury 1.7296 (0.4818–6.2097) Retention 1.3745 (0.5718–3.3043) Bladder injury 2.885 (0.603–13.8) Retention 1.299 (0.502–3.365) ∗Adjusted for age, concomitant surgery, analgesia, previous surgery McFadden R-Squared 0.085, and posthoc statistical power 0.996 included in our analysis. Lastly, these results are only from one hospital, so it is possible that other hospitals would have diﬀerent ﬁndings. However, this is unlikely, as the incidence of complications appears to be consistent with other studies [9, 10, 19]. In conclusion, based on our statistical analysis, it appears that obesity is not an independent risk factor for a bladder injury or urinary retention following TVT.
