For patients with acute urinary retention due to BPH, how does removing a Foley catheter after 3 days compare to removing it after 10 days in terms of re-catheterization rate and patient discomfort?

Abstract
No direct evidence for comparing 3-day versus 10-day catheter removal in patients with acute urinary retention due to BPH. Studies suggest that shorter catheterization may reduce complications, while longer durations may improve TWOC success rates up to 7 days.
