Predictors of enucleation time from multiple linear regression model

Characteristic Coefficient (min) 95% CI P value

History of antiplatelet agents 19.51 − 3.16 to 42.19 .021

Other abbreviations as in Table 1. Interpretation of linear regression model: for a patient with a history of UTI and antiplatelet agents, who had a HoLEP specimen weight of 35 g, the estimated enucleation time is 79.36 min (24.23 + 19.51 + 17.28 + 18.34 = 79.36)
