AIM: To examine current practices and factors associated with outcomes of urinary catheter removal ('trial of void' or TOV) in @entity1 following hip @entity174 . METHOD: Retrospective file audit of @entity1 discharged over a three-year period with a diagnosis of @entity173 . RESULTS: There were 133 TOVs in 310 @entity1 . Of the 78 TOVs occurring in the aged care rehabilitation hospital, 50% were successful. Adherence to the hospital's TOV guideline was documented infrequently. TOV outcome was not related to interval since catheter insertion, @entity1142 or inability to mobilise. Multivariate analysis showed that @entity303 was independently associated with the presence of an @entity1212 ( @entity1212 ) on discharge and that @entity1 discharged with an @entity1212 had a higher probability of residential care placement. CONCLUSIONS: Practices in managing TOVs are inconsistent. No potentially modifiable predictors of TOV success were identified. The presence of an @entity1212 has implications for discharge destination.
