Summary:The aetiology of paediatric acute urinary retention (PAUR) is poorly documented across English medical literature and none from Australasia. This study aimed to document incidence, aetiology and associated time to diagnoses and treatment of PAUR in regional Australia. This was a retrospective study of children aged 0-17 years at presentation to two regional hospitals from 01.01.2008-31.12.2018.
