Abstract
Background: In 2018, nocturia and nocturnal lower urinary tract function definitions were updated in a clinically and practically based consensus report by the International Continence Society Standardization Steering Committee. Previous research has suggested that the pathophysiology of nocturia has a multifactorial etiology, including obstructive sleep apnea, overactive bladder syndrome, diabetes mellitus, sleep disturbance, congestive heart failure, primary polydipsia, and other factors.Current Concepts: Three main mechanisms have been identified: low functional bladder capacity, nocturnal polyuria, and diurnal polyuria (24-hour polyuria). Multifactorial pathophysiology implies multiple possible targets for therapeutic intervention, and suggests that it is unlikely that one treatment modality, including drugs, will be successful in all patients. The bladder diary is the most important diagnostic tool.Discussion and Conclusion: Strong evidence supports the efficacy of desmopressin and continuous positive pressure breathing. Antimuscarinic drugs for treating nocturia display limited usefulness because of their low efficacy for nocturnal polyuria. Management of nocturia may require a multidisciplinary approach to visualization and phenotyping of patients for diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract
This review discusses the available evidence in the current evaluation and treatment of nocturia in frail older adults. No evidence specifically evaluates the use of behavioral interventions in the treatment of the frail older adult with nocturia, but their use is supported in other cohorts. Behavioral modifications and optimal management of comorbidities remain the first-line treatment for all age groups and should be emphasized in the frail due to their favorable safety profile. No studies specific to the frail older adult support the use of pharmacotherapy. Some evidence exists for the efficacy of several agents in the older adult; however, this is difficult to extrapolate to the frail, and safety concerns abound. Desmopressin may be effective in the older adult, but a high risk of hyponatremia raises concerns for its safety, and therefore it is not recommended in the frail. α-Antagonists may have limited efficacy in men with known benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH); they are relatively well tolerated, although the risk of orthostatic hypotension in the frail should be considered. β3-agonist trials suggest limited clinical utility. Antimuscarinics are not found to be useful in this cohort and are contraindicated in the frail older adult given the ability of antimuscarinics to cause cognitive impairment, delirium, and falls. No data examine the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the frail older adult. Additionally, the American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteria recommends against the use of muscarinics in those over the age of 75 years and therefore their use is not supported.

The impact of sacrospinous ligament fixation on pre-existing nocturia and co-existing pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms. Int Urogynecol J 2020; 32:919-928. [PMID: 32778918 PMCID: PMC8009795 DOI: 10.1007/s00192-020-04440-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2020] [Accepted: 07/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Introduction and hypothesis To evaluate whether nocturia and coexisting pelvic floor symptoms in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) can be improved by ligamentous fixation of apical vaginal prolapse to the sacrospinous ligament. Methods We evaluated the PROPEL study data from 281 women with pelvic organ prolapse stage > 2. Bothersome nocturia and coexisting pelvic floor symptoms were assessed with the Pelvic Floor Disorder Inventory (PFDI) questionnaire preoperatively and at 6, 12 and 24 months after successful vaginal prolapse repair. Women with successful reconstruction (POP-Q stage < 1 at all compartments throughout the 2-year follow-up), defined as anatomical “responders,” were compared to the anatomical “non-responders.” Results Among the patients completing all PFDI questions (N = 277), anatomical responders and non-responders were the groups of interest for our analysis. We found the occurrence rates of “moderate” or “quite a bit” of nocturia was significantly reduced after surgery in all subgroups (48.7% at baseline vs. 19.5% after 24 months). The occurrence of nocturia was halved for responders compared to non-responders (45.4% and 48.3% at baseline vs. 14% and 29.5% after 24 months). Anatomical non-responders still had a relevant improvement of POP-Q stages, especially in the apical compartment. Prevalence rates of co-existing over- and underactive bladder, fecal incontinence, defecation disorders and pain symptoms were also significantly reduced postoperatively. Conclusion Nocturia can be associated with symptomatic POP, with improvements seen following vaginal ligamentous prolapse repair. We caution providers, however, when advising patients of the possible resolution of nocturia following POP reconstruction, that all other traditional etiologies of nocturia must first be ruled out.

Assessment of the Most Impactful Combination of Factors Associated with Nocturia and to Define Nocturnal Polyuria by Multivariate Modelling. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9072262. [PMID: 32708764 PMCID: PMC7408683 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9072262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2020] [Revised: 07/04/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nocturia is common and associated with multiple disease states. Many potential mechanisms have been proposed for nocturia, which also remains challenging to manage. PURPOSE To use multivariate analysis to determine which combinations of factors can accurately discriminate clinically significant nocturia in patients to facilitate clinical management and treatment decisions. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data analysis was based on frequency volume charts from three randomized controlled trials. There were 1479 patients included, of which 215 patients had no/mild nocturia and 1264 had clinically significant nocturia with at least two voids per night. Factors studied that may influence nocturia were demographics, sleep duration, functional bladder capacity, 24 h urine volume and literature-suggested definitions of nocturnal polyuria. We used univariate analysis and cross-validated multivariate modelling to assess association between factors and nocturia status, redundancy between factors and whether the combined use of factors could explain patients' nocturia status. RESULTS The multivariate analyses showed that the most useful definitions of nocturia are 'Nocturia Index' (NI) and 'Nocturnal Urine Production per hour' (NUPh) in combination with functional bladder capacity and sleep duration. Published definitions providing binary nocturnal polyuria outcomes had lower performance than continuous indices. These analyses also showed that NI was not specific to nocturnal polyuria as it also captured nocturia due to low functional bladder capacity. By contrast, NUPh was demonstrated to be specific to nocturnal polyuria. CONCLUSION NUPh has previously been shown among elderly males to be essential in nocturia and a very valid measure of nocturnal polyuria. However, the current, large and independent dataset now confirms that it can be applied in an adult population with a complaint of nocturia covering both males and females.

Therapeutic efficacy of mirabegron 25 mg monotherapy in patients with nocturia-predominant hypersensitive bladder. Tzu Chi Med J 2020; 32:30-35. [PMID: 32110517 PMCID: PMC7015015 DOI: 10.4103/tcmj.tcmj_226_18] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2018] [Revised: 10/29/2018] [Accepted: 12/11/2018] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of mirabegron 25 mg daily in patients with nocturia-predominant hypersensitive bladder (HSB). Materials and Methods: This study prospectively investigated 219 consecutive patients with nocturia-predominant HSB and treated with mirabegron 25 mg daily from July 2015 to 2016. Patient with nocturia episode decreased by ≥1/night after treatment was considered successful. The subjective symptom score, such as International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Quality of life index, Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), Urgency Severity Scale, patient perception of bladder condition (PPBC), and nocturia episodes per night, was assessed before and 1 month after mirabegron treatment and between successful and failed groups. Results: A total of 219 patients, including 51 women and 168 men, were enrolled. The mean age of the population was 72.3 ± 11.0 years. Totally, 58 (26.5%) of the patients had improvement in nocturia at 1 month after treatment. Among them, 14 (27.5%) women and 44 (26.2%) men had improvement in nocturia episodes after treatment (P = 0.858). Compared the clinical data between successful and failed group, the baseline symptom scores were more severe in successful group, including IPSS-storage subscore (4.84 ± 2.09 vs. 4.11 ± 2.19, P = 0.031), OABSS (3.21 ± 0.67 vs. 2.91 ± 1.00, P = 0.037), and nocturia episodes (3.81 ± 0.95 vs. 3.095 ± 1.32, P = 0.000). Multivariate analysis revealed only a higher nocturia episodes (P = 0.046) predict a successful treatment result. Mirabegron 25 mg daily significantly improved PPBC score along the 3 months' follow-up (P < 0.05), and postvoid residual volume did not increase after mirabegron treatment in overall patients. Conclusions: Mirabegron 25 mg daily treatment showed a limited therapeutic effect on nocturia-predominant HSB patients. The patients with higher OAB symptoms predict a successful result.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The terminology for nocturia and nocturnal lower urinary tract function is reviewed and updated in a clinically and practically-based consensus report. METHODS This report has been created by a Working Group under the auspices and guidelines of the International Continence Society (ICS) Standardisation Steering Committee (SSC). All relevant definitions were updated on the basis of research over the last 16 years since the publication of the first nocturia standardization document in 2002. An extensive process of 16 rounds of internal and external reviews was involved to examine each definition exhaustively, with decision-making by collective opinion (consensus). RESULTS A clinically-based terminology report for nocturia and nocturnal lower urinary tract function, encompassing five key definitions divided into signs and symptoms has been developed. Clarity and user-friendliness have been key aims to make it interpretable by healthcare professionals and allied healthcare practitioners involved in the care of individuals with nocturnal lower urinary tract function. CONCLUSION A consensus-based terminology report for nocturia and nocturnal lower urinary tract function has been produced to aid clinical practice and research.

Effects of a Gentle, Self-Administered Stimulation of Perineal Skin for Nocturia in Elderly Women: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Crossover Trial. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0151726. [PMID: 27003163 PMCID: PMC4803221 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0151726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2015] [Accepted: 03/03/2016] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Somatic afferent nerve stimuli are used for treating an overactive bladder (OAB), a major cause of nocturia in the elderly. Clinical evidence for this treatment is insufficient because of the lack of appropriate control stimuli. Recent studies on anesthetized animals show that gentle stimuli applied to perineal skin with a roller could inhibit micturition contractions depending on the roller’s surface material. We examined the efficacy of gentle skin stimuli for treating nocturia. Methods The study was a cross-over, placebo-controlled, double-blind randomized clinical study using two rollers with different effects on micturition contractions. Participants were elderly women (79–89 years) with nocturia. Active (soft elastomer roller) or placebo (hard polystyrene roller) stimuli were applied to perineal skin by participants for 1 min at bedtime. A 3-day baseline assessment period was followed by 3-day stimulation and 4-day resting periods, after which the participants were subjected to other stimuli for another 3 days. The primary outcome was change in the frequency of nighttime urination, for which charts were maintained during each 3-day period. Results Twenty-four participants were randomized, of which 22 completed all study protocols. One participant discontinued treatment because of an adverse event (abdominal discomfort). In participants with OAB (n = 9), change from baseline in the mean frequency of urination per night during the active stimuli period (mean ± standard deviation, −0.74 ± 0.7 times) was significantly greater than that during placebo stimuli periods (−0.15 ± 0.8 times [p < 0.05]). In contrast, this difference was not observed in participants without OAB (n = 13). Conclusions These results suggest that gentle perineal stimulation with an elastomer roller is effective for treating OAB-associated nocturia in elderly women. Here the limitation was a study period too short to assess changes in the quality of sleep and life. Trial Registration UMIN Clinical Trial Registry (CTR) UMIN000015809

Practical points in the medical treatment of overactive bladder and nocturia in the elderly. Tzu Chi Med J 2016; 28:1-5. [PMID: 28757708 PMCID: PMC5509172 DOI: 10.1016/j.tcmj.2015.12.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2015] [Revised: 12/08/2015] [Accepted: 12/10/2015] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
The prevalence of overactive bladder (OAB) increases with age. Degeneration of the central nervous system in the elderly has been proposed as one of the pathogenic factors of OAB. Antimuscarinic therapy is effective in the treatment of OAB; however, intolerable systemic adverse events and cognitive dysfunction during treatment with nonselective antimuscarinic agents is of growing concern in elderly patients. The newly developed beta-3 adrenoceptor agonist mirabegron does not adversely affect flow rate and detrusor pressure, and its therapeutic efficacy and tolerability are similar in patients aged > 65 years and > 75 years, suggesting it might be the therapeutic choice in older patients with OAB. Nocturia can cause sleep deprivation at night and increase daytime sleepiness and loss of energy in the elderly. Desmopressin add-on therapy is effective in improving nocturia and storage symptoms. However, elderly patients with a baseline serum sodium level below the normal range are at high risk of developing significant hyponatremia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the risk factors and comorbidities associated with nocturia in men and women aged ≥ 40 years. MATERIAL AND METHODS The EpiLUTS study was an Internet-based cross-sectional, population-representative survey involving 30,000 men and women from the USA, UK and Sweden evaluating lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) using the LUTS Tool. A secondary analysis of the EpiLUTS data using participants with nocturia was performed. Descriptive statistics were used to examine the data. Logistic regressions were used to analyse associations of comorbid conditions and risk factors in men and women with nocturia ≥ 2. RESULTS With a 59% response rate, nocturia ≥ 1 was quite common at 69% in men and 76% in women; 28% men and 34% women had nocturia ≥ 2. Age, body mass index (in women), Hispanic and Black responders, diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety and depression and a history of bed-wetting were significantly associated with nocturia ≥ 2. Arthritis, asthma, diabetes, heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, bladder infection, uterine prolapse, hysterectomy and menopausal status were all significantly associated with nocturia ≥ 2 in women. Prostatitis and prostate cancer were significant in men with nocturia ≥ 2. British and Swedish participants had a lesser risk of nocturia ≥ 2. CONCLUSION Nocturia is a highly prevalent condition associated with various risk factors and comorbidities. Treatment of nocturia should be aimed at these causes in a multidisciplinary fashion. Further studies are needed to look specifically at these conditions in the pathophysiology of nocturia.

Abstract
PURPOSE Nocturia is a troubling condition with implications for daytime functioning. However, it often goes unreported. Many prevalence studies exist but differences in populations and definitions of nocturia render assimilation of the data difficult. This review provides an overview of the nocturia prevalence literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS A PubMed® search was performed to identify articles published in English from 1990 to February 2009 reporting nocturia prevalence in community based populations. Rates reported as overall data, and by age and by gender, were plotted for comparison. RESULTS A total of 43 relevant articles were identified. Prevalence rates in younger men (20 to 40 years) were 1 or more voids in 11% to 35.2% and 2 or more voids in 2% to 16.6%. Prevalence rates in younger women were 1 or more voids in 20.4% to 43.9% and 2 or more voids in 4.4% to 18%. In older men (older than 70 years) rates were 1 or more void in 68.9% to 93% and 2 or more voids in 29% to 59.3%. In older women rates were 1 or more void in 74.1% to 77.1% and 2 or more voids in 28.3% to 61.5%. Therefore, in practice up to 1 in 5 or 6 younger people consistently wake to void at least twice each night. In some studies younger women appeared more likely to be affected than men. Up to 60% of older people void 2 or more times nightly. CONCLUSIONS Nocturia is common across populations. It is most prevalent in older people but it also affects a significant proportion of younger individuals. Clinicians should be alert to the possibility that nocturia may impact the sleep, quality of life and overall health of their patients. Since the condition is highly multifactorial, frequency-volume charts are invaluable tools for the diagnosis of underlying factors and for treatment selection.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS The aim of the present study was in a case-control design to evaluate the association between nocturia and obstructive sleep apnea, in men and women who had nocturia ≥ 2 per night (nocturics) compared to those without nocturia (controls). METHODS Participants were randomly selected among respondents in a population study of 4000 elderly individuals. Nocturia was assessed using the validated Nocturia, Nocturnal Enuresis, and Sleep-interruption Questionnaire (NNES-Q). Nocturia (≥ 2 voids/night) or control (< 1 void/night) status was assessed by a 3-day frequency volume chart (FVC). Furthermore, all participants completed an overnight ambulatory polygraphic recording to identify obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). RESULTS Of 1111 eligible individuals, a total of 75 nocturics and 75 controls (13.5%) were included. Overall, the prevalence and severity of OSA among nocturics and controls was not significantly different. In a sub-analysis we found that 22 nocturics with OSA (69%) had nocturnal polyuria. This led to a significantly increased risk of having OSA (OR 2.8, 95% CI: 1.1-7.3, p < 0.05) when having nocturnal polyuria compared to other pathophysiological causes of nocturia (polyuria, low bladder capacity, a combination of nocturnal polyuria/low bladder capacity, and neither nocturnal polyuria/low bladder capacity). CONCLUSIONS Nocturia twice or more was not significantly associated with OSA. However, nocturics with nocturnal polyuria had a significantly higher risk of having OSA than nocturics with other pathophysiologies.

Abstract
PURPOSE We sought criteria for nocturnal polyuria in asymptomatic, nonurological adults of all ages by reporting reference values of the ratio of daytime and nighttime urine volumes, and finding nocturia predictors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from a database of frequency-volume charts from a reference population of 894 nonurological, asymptomatic volunteers of all age groups were analyzed. The nocturnal polyuria index and the nocturia index were calculated and factors influencing these values were determined by multivariate analysis. RESULTS The nocturnal polyuria index had wide variation but a normal distribution with a mean ± SD of 30% ± 12%. The 95th percentile of the values was 53%. Above this cutoff a patient had nocturnal polyuria. This value contrasts with the International Continence Society definition of 33% but agrees with several other reports. On multivariate regression analysis with the nocturnal polyuria index as the dependent variable sleeping time, maximum voided volume and age were the covariates. However, the increase in the nocturnal polyuria index by age was small. Excluding polyuria and nocturia from analysis did not alter the results in a relevant way. The nocturnal voiding frequency depended on sleeping time and maximum voided volume but most of all on the nocturia index. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of nocturnal polyuria is overestimated. We suggest a new cutoff value for the nocturnal polyuria index, that is nocturnal polyuria exists when the nocturnal polyuria index exceeds 53%. The nocturia index is the best predictor of nocturia.

Abstract
Purpose To determine the prevalence and correlates of nocturia in Korean community-dwelling older men. Materials and Methods A study population of 439 Korean elderly men (≥65 years of age, including 299 men from a randomly sampled population) was sampled from residents of Seongnam, Korea. Standardized face-to-face interviews and questionnaires were performed. In-person interviews solicited sociodemographic information, medical history, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, and measurement of body mass index. Transrectal ultrasonography and laboratory tests including urinalysis and measurement of creatinine and prostate-specific antigen were performed. For the analysis of prevalence, 299 randomly sampled men were included. Men who answered the International Prostate Symptom Score questionnaire (n=424) were included in the analysis of the correlates of nocturia. Nocturia was defined as having to get up to urinate two or more times per night (≥2). Results The overall prevalence of nocturia was 56.0% for community-dwelling older men. There was a significant correlation between age and the prevalence of nocturia (p<0.001). The univariate analysis revealed a significant association between nocturia and MMSE score (odds ratio [OR], 0.88; p<0.001), history of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (OR, 2.85; p=0.003), alpha-blocker usage (OR, 2.79; p=0.018), alcohol consumption (OR, 0.65; p=0.035), and smoking (OR, 0.58; p=0.025). Age, duration of education, MMSE score, and prostate volume were also significantly associated with nocturia. In the multivariate regression analysis using forward elimination, nocturia was significantly associated with a history of BPH and MMSE score. Conclusions The prevalence of nocturia was 56.0% in Korean community-dwelling older men. Nocturia was associated with age and a history of BPH. MMSE score was protective.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore the roles of pain and urgency in the nocturia of patients with interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS). METHODS In a longitudinal study of incident IC/PBS cases, we assessed the associations of the presence and severity of nocturia with the presence and severity of pain and urgency, using multivariate analyses when necessary. Additionally, we simply asked patients with IC/PBS what awakens them at night. RESULTS The multivariate analyses revealed associations of urgency with the presence and severity of nocturia and of bladder pain with the severity of nocturia. Direct queries of patients with IC/PBS about urgency and the reasons for awakening demonstrated that bladder pain might have played a twofold role: directly in awakening a large minority of patients and possibly indirectly in the majority by generating the sensation of urgency. CONCLUSIONS These findings are consistent with urinary urgency and bladder pain each being in the causal pathway leading to nocturia in patients with IC/PBS.

Many prevalence studies exist but differences in populations and definitions of nocturia render assimilation of the data difficult. This review provides an overview of the nocturia prevalence literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS A PubMed search was performed to identify articles published in English from 1990 to February 2009 reporting nocturia prevalence in community based populations. Rates reported as overall data, and by age and by gender, were plotted for comparison. RESULTS A total of 43 relevant articles were identified. Prevalence rates in younger men (20 to 40 years) were 1 or more voids in 11% to 35.2% and 2 or more voids in 2% to 16.6%. Prevalence rates in younger women were 1 or more voids in 20.4% to 43.9% and 2 or more voids in 4.4% to 18%. In older men (older than 70 years) rates were 1 or more void in 68.9% to 93% and 2 or more voids in 29% to 59.3%. In older women rates were 1 or more void in 74.1% to 77.1% and 2 or more voids in 28.3% to 61.5%. Therefore, in practice up to 1 in 5 or 6 younger people consistently wake to void at least twice each night. In some studies younger women appeared more likely to be affected than men. Up to 60% of older people void 2 or more times nightly. CONCLUSIONS Nocturia is common across populations. It is most prevalent in older people but it also affects a significant proportion of younger individuals. Clinicians should be alert to the possibility that nocturia may impact the sleep, quality of life and overall health of their patients. Since the condition is highly multifactorial, frequency-volume charts are invaluable tools for the diagnosis of underlying factors and for treatment selection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence and correlates of nocturia in community-dwelling older adults. DESIGN Planned secondary analysis of cross-sectional data from the University of Alabama at Birmingham Study of Aging population-based survey. SETTING Participants' homes. PARTICIPANTS One thousand older adults (aged 65-106) recruited from Medicare beneficiary lists between 1999 and 2001. The sample was selected to include 25% each African-American women, African-American men, white women, and white men. MEASUREMENTS In-person interviews included sociodemographic information, medical history, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, and measurement of body mass index (BMI). Nocturia was defined in the main analyses as rising two or more times per night to void. RESULTS Nocturia was more common in men than women (63.2% vs 53.8%, odds ratio (OR)=1.48, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.15-1.91, P=.003) and more common in African Americans than whites (66.3% vs 50.9%, OR=1.89, 95% CI=1.46-2.45, P<.001). In multiple backward elimination regression analysis in men, nocturia was significantly associated with African-American race (OR=1.54) and BMI (OR=1.22 per 5 kg/m(2)). Higher MMSE score was protective (OR=0.96). In women, nocturia was associated with older age (OR=1.21 per 5 years), African-American race (OR=1.64), history of any urine leakage (OR=2.17), swelling in feet and legs (OR=1.67), and hypertension (OR=1.62). Higher education was protective (OR=0.92). CONCLUSION Nocturia in community-dwelling older adults is a common symptom associated with male sex, African-American race, and some medical conditions. Given the significant morbidity associated with nocturia, any evaluation of lower urinary tract symptoms should include assessment for the presence of nocturia.

Abstract
The overall evidence of an association between fluid intake and bladder cancer is not entirely consistent. We examined the fluid intake-bladder cancer relationship in the Los Angeles bladder cancer case-control study. A total of 1,586 cases and their age-, sex-, and race-matched neighborhood controls were interviewed in-person from 1987 to 1999. Information on total fluid intake was derived from the consumption of specific fluids including water, coffee, tea, alcohol, milk, juice, hot chocolate and soda. Total fluid intake was not associated with bladder cancer. Daily water intake was associated with a slight decrease in bladder cancer risk, with the protection more pronounced among women (p for trend = 0.039) than among men (p for trend = 0.62). Compared to drinking <1 glass of water per day, drinking > or =6 glasses/day was associated with 0.91 (95% confidence interval, 0.67-1.22) times the risk of bladder cancer among all subjects, 0.94 (0.67-1.32) times the risk among men, and 0.69 (0.36-1.33) times the risk among women. The water intake-bladder cancer association also seemed to be modified by daytime urination frequency with significant inverse association among subjects who urinated > or =6 times/day (p for trend = 0.015), but not among those who urinated less frequently. Similarly, the protection from water intake was confined to women who did not experience nocturia and to men who did. Results from our study suggest that water intake may be associated with a slight reduction in bladder cancer risk.

Nocturia and disturbed sleep in the elderly. Sleep Med 2008; 10:540-8. [PMID: 18703381 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2008.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 159] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2007] [Revised: 04/18/2008] [Accepted: 04/22/2008] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nocturnal urination (nocturia) is such a commonplace occurrence in the lives of many older adults that it is frequently overlooked as a potential cause of sleep disturbance. METHODS We examined the prevalence of nocturia and examined its role in self-reported insomnia and poor sleep quality in a survey of 1424 elderly individuals, ages 55-84. Data were derived from a 2003 National Sleep Foundation telephone poll conducted in a representative sample of the United States population who underwent a 20-min structured telephone interview. Nocturia was not a focus of the survey, but data collected relevant to this topic allowed examination of relevant associations with sleep. RESULTS When inquired about in a checklist format, nocturia was listed as a self-perceived cause of nocturnal sleep "every night or almost every night" by 53% of the sample, which was over four times as frequently as the next most often cited cause of poor sleep, pain (12%). In multivariate logistic models, nocturia was an independent predictor both of self-reported insomnia (75% increased risk) and reduced sleep quality (71% increased risk), along with female gender and other medical and psychiatric conditions. CONCLUSIONS Nocturia is a frequently overlooked cause of poor sleep in the elderly and may warrant targeted interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between nocturia and medical diseases, medication, urinary incontinence (UI), recurrent cystitis, smoking, alcohol, parity, hysterectomy, pelvic organ prolapse surgery, UI surgery, and prostate surgery. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The previously validated questionnaire the Nocturia, Nocturnal Enuresis and Sleep-interruption Questionnaire was sent to 2000 women and 2000 men aged 60, 65, 70, 75, and 80 years. The population was selected at random from The Danish Civil Registration System. RESULTS Using multiple logistic regressions UI and age were significantly associated with nocturia irrespective of severity. Nocturia of > or =1 voids was significantly associated with body mass index (BMI), hypertension, and smoking; and nocturia of > or =2 voids with gender, BMI, diabetes and recurrent cystitis, as well as between nocturia of > or =3 voids and gender, lung disease, diabetes, use of diuretics and recurrent cystitis. Summarising the associations in an ordinal regression analysis UI (odds ratio (OR) 2.17, 95% CI 1.76-2.68), recurrent cystitis (OR 1.97, 95% CI 1.30-2.97) and diabetes (OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.32-1.65) had the strongest associations with nocturia. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that various disorders are associated with nocturia. However, the associations are strongly dependent on the severity of the nocturia.
