Overactive bladder and cognitive impairment in middle-aged women: A cross-sectional study. Maturitas 2024; 187:108042. [PMID: 38878628 DOI: 10.1016/j.maturitas.2024.108042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 08/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition in middle-aged and older women. It has been reported to be potentially linked to cognitive decline, particularly in older adults. This study investigated the association between OAB symptoms and cognitive impairment in middle-aged women. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study had a sample of 1652 women (mean age 49.3 ± 2.8 years) who were not taking medication for either urinary tract infection or OAB. OAB symptoms and cognitive function were evaluated by self-administered questionnaires: the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score and the Alzheimer's disease 8. Logistic regression models estimated prevalence ratios (PRs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CI) for cognitive impairment according to the presence/absence of OAB. Mediation analyses assessed the impact of poor sleep quality on this association. RESULTS Cognitive impairment was more prevalent in women with OAB than in those without OAB (multivariable-adjusted PR: 1.88 [95 % CI: 1.52-2.24]). Women experiencing nocturia (≥twice a night), urinary urgency at least once a week, and urgency urinary incontinence at least once a week had multivariable-adjusted PRs (95 % CI) for cognitive impairment of 2.08 (1.50-2.65), 2.12 (1.66-2.58), and 1.75 (1.17-2.34), respectively. Poor sleep quality mediated 10.81 % [95 % CI: 4.55-19.44 %] of the relationship between OAB and cognitive impairment. CONCLUSIONS Among middle-aged women not taking OAB medications, OAB symptoms were associated with cognitive impairment, partly because of poor sleep quality. Further research is needed to determine whether early screening of patients with OAB can help identify those susceptible to cognitive impairment associated with OAB medication and if preventive measures should be targeted at this group.

Electroencephalography-based investigation of the effects of oral desmopressin on improving slow-wave sleep time in nocturnal polyuria patients (the DISTINCT study): A single-arm, open-label, single-assignment trial. Neurourol Urodyn 2024; 43:1559-1565. [PMID: 38606623 DOI: 10.1002/nau.25476] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
AIMS To investigate changes in subjective and objective sleep quality after desmopressin administration in patients with nocturia due to nocturnal polyuria (NP) using electroencephalography (EEG) and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). METHODS Twenty male patients (≥65 years old) with NP participated in this study. The inclusion criteria were nocturnal frequency ≥ 2, NP index (NPi) ≥ 0.33, first uninterrupted sleep period (FUSP) ≤ 2.5 h, serum sodium concentration ≥ 135 mEq/L, and estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 50 mL/min/1.73 m2. Participants were given 50 μg of desmopressin to be taken orally once daily before bed. The primary endpoint was the change in the duration of slow-wave sleep (nonrapid eye movement sleep stages 3 and 4), as evaluated by EEG 28 days from the baseline. The visual analog scale (VAS) was used as an additional indicator of sleep quality. RESULTS Analysis of data from 15 participants (median age: 74.0 [70.5, 76.0] years) revealed that from before to after desmopressin administration, significant decreases occurred in the median nocturnal frequency (3.0 [2.0, 4.0] to 1.5 [1.0, 2.0]) and NPi (0.445 [0.380, 0.475] to 0.360 [0.250, 0.430]). Furthermore, FUSP was significantly prolonged from 120.0 (94.0, 150.0) min to 210.0 (203.8, 311.3) min. Although the VAS scores improved, slow-wave sleep duration and the PSQI global score showed no significant differences (68.50 [47.50, 75.50] and 48.00 [38.00, 66.50]; 5.0 [5.0, 10.0] and 7.0 [5.0, 9.0] min, respectively). CONCLUSION Oral administration of 50 μg desmopressin improved nocturnal frequency and FUSP in older individuals with NP but did not significantly enhance sleep quality. In older adults, decreased nighttime urinary frequency may enhance quality of life; however, its influence on objective sleep quality may be limited.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate how arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, affects the incidence of nocturia in adults aged 20-59. METHODS This study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2005 to 2020, involving 18 745 adults aged 20-59. Arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, was considered as the exposure factor, with nocturia as the outcome variable. We first compared the baseline characteristics of individuals with and without nocturia. The impact of arthritis on nocturia was assessed using weighted multivariate logistic regression models. To ensure the stability of the results, propensity score matching analysis and subgroup analyses were conducted. RESULTS The incidence of nocturia was approximately 22.31%, and the incidence of arthritis was about 15.32% (2871/18 745), with osteoarthritis accounting for 35.49% (1019/2871) and rheumatoid arthritis accounting for 20.20% (580/2871). Adjusted multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the risk of nocturia was increased by arthritis (odds ratio [OR] = 1.45, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.28-1.65, p < 0.0001), including osteoarthritis (OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.18-1.78, p < 0.001) and rheumatoid arthritis (OR = 1.51, 95% CI: 1.14-2.00, p = 0.004). After propensity score matching using nearest neighbor methods at a 1:1 ratio, this relationship still exists. Subgroup analyses showed no significant differences in the interactions between arthritis and the risk of nocturia across various factors, such as age, family income to poverty ratio, education level, body mass index, smoking status, hypertension, and diabetes. However, significant differences were observed across different sex groups and sleep trouble groups. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, increased the risk of nocturia in adults under the age of 60.

Psychometric properties and moderated mediation analysis of the ICIQ-NQOL in Chinese primary care patients with nocturia. J Patient Rep Outcomes 2024; 8:86.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many individuals consider nocturia a significant nuisance, leading to a reduced health-related quality of life (HRQOL). However, there has been a lack of psychometrically sound patient-reported outcome measures to assess the impact of nocturia on patients in Chinese contexts. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Nocturia Quality of Life Module (ICIQ-NQOL) for use among primary care patients in Hong Kong, China. Additionally, it sought to investigate the mechanisms that link nocturia and sleep quality with HRQOL by employing moderated mediation analysis. METHODS The traditional Chinese version of the ICIQ-NQOL was developed through iterative translations, cognitive debriefing interviews, and panel reviews. The psychometric evaluation included assessments of factor structure, convergent validity, concurrent validity, known-group validity, internal consistency, test-retest reliability and responsiveness. Study instruments included the ICIQ-NQOL, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and a modified Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-Short Form (IIQ-7). RESULTS A total of 419 primary care patients were recruited from general outpatient clinics, among whom 228 experiencing an average of two or more nocturia episodes per night over the past four weeks. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the two-factor structure of the ICIQ-NQOL. Concurrent validity was confirmed by moderate correlations between the IIQ-7 total score and the total score as well as two domain scores of the ICIQ-NQOL (r ranging from 0.43 to 0.49, all p < 0.001). The ICIQ-NQOL also had moderate correlations with the IPSS total symptom score (r ranging from 0.40 to 0.48, all p < 0.001). Convergent validity was supported by moderate correlations between the global PSQI score and the total score as well as two domain scores of the ICIQ-NQOL (r ranging from 0.42 to 0.52, all p < 0.001). Known-group comparisons showed that the ICIQ-NQOL could differentiate between patients with and without nocturia in terms of sleep/energy domain score (p < 0.001), bother/concern domain score (p < 0.001), and total score (p < 0.001), each demonstrating a moderate Cohen's d effect size. Item-total correlations corrected for overlap exceeded 0.4, and Cronbach's alpha coefficients were greater than 0.7. Test-retest reliability was confirmed with intraclass correlation coefficients exceeding 0.7 among patients reporting no change in their nocturia symptoms at a 2-week follow-up. Regarding responsiveness, the Cohen's d effect sizes for differences in domain and total scores between the baseline and 2-week follow-up assessments were greater than 0.3 among patients showing improvement in nocturia. Our moderated mediation analysis indicated that sleep quality significantly moderated the impact of nocturia on HRQOL, with a notably stronger indirect effect among females compared to males. CONCLUSIONS The ICIQ-NQOL is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing the HRQOL in primary care patients suffering from nocturia. The findings advocate for gender-specific approaches in the management and treatment of nocturia to optimize HRQOL.

Front Public Health 2023; 11:1292362. [PMID: 38186694 PMCID: PMC10768185 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1292362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Nocturia is a highly prevalent and under-considered condition and impacts the quality of life for many individuals. The long-term impact of nocturnal voiding on mortality, especially mortality from cardiovascular disease, remains unknown. The current study aimed to evaluate the relationship of nocturnal voiding episodes with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality among adults in the United States. Methods This is a prospective cohort study of a nationally representative sample of 13,862 U.S. adults aged 20 years or older who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (1988-1994). Nighttime urination frequency was reported during an in-house interview. All-cause and cause-specific mortality were ascertained by linking to National Death Index mortality data through December 31, 2019. The associations of nocturia with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality were estimated using weighted Cox proportional hazards regression models. Results Throughout a median follow-up of 26.7 years, 5,029 deaths were reported, comprising 1,720 deaths from cardiovascular disease. In the fully adjusted model, participants who reported once, twice, and three or more times nocturnal voiding episodes have a higher risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR1, 1.22 [95% CI, 0.997-1.49], HR2, 1.47 [95% CI, 1.13-1.91], and HR ≥ 3, 1.96 [95% CI, 1.52-2.53]) as well as all-cause mortality (HR1, 1.12 [95% CI, 0.90-1.39], HR2, 1.54 [95% CI, 1.23-1.93], and HR ≥ 3, 2.48 [95% CI, 1.81-3.40]), compared to those without nocturia, and heart disease-specific mortality (HR1, 1.33 [95% CI, 1.08-1.64], HR2, 1.62 [95% CI, 1.25-2.10], and HR≥3, 2.07 [95% CI, 1.61-2.67]). Nevertheless, there was no significant relationship between the number of nocturia episode changes and stroke-specific mortality. Conclusion Nocturia was associated with a significantly augmented risk of overall and heart disease-specific mortality in a dosage-dependent manner. Early recognition and taking precautions may benefit individuals with nocturia by promoting quality of life and cardiac health.

Abstract
The circadian system modulates all visceral organ physiological processes including urine storage and voiding. The "master clock" of the circadian system lies within suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus while "peripheral clocks" are found in most peripheral tissue and organs, including the urinary bladder. Disruptions of circadian rhythms can cause organ malfunction and disorder or exacerbate pre-existing ones. It has been suggested that nocturia, which develops mostly in the elderly, could be a circadian-related disorder of the bladder. In the bladder, many types of gap junctions and ion channels in the detrusor, urothelium and sensory nerves are likely under strict local peripheral circadian control. The pineal hormone, melatonin, is a circadian rhythm synchroniser capable of controlling a variety of physiological processes in the body. Melatonin predominantly acts via the melatonin 1 and melatonin 2 G-protein coupled receptors expressed in the central nervous system, and many peripheral organs and tissues. Melatonin could be beneficial in the treatment of nocturia and other common bladder disorders. The ameliorating action of melatonin on bladder function is likely due to multiple mechanisms which include central effects on voiding and peripheral effects on the detrusor and bladder afferents. More studies are warranted to determine the precise mechanisms of circadian rhythm coordination of the bladder function and melatonin influences on the bladder in health and diseases.

Abstract
Both the human capital approach and the friction cost approach are frequently used to quantify the productivity costs associated with illness, disability or death in health economic evaluations. In this paper we argue that these approaches have one major, but common shortcoming: they only capture partial equilibrium (PE) effects and therefore underestimate the true potential productivity costs associated with health conditions. They neglect the sizable, indirect, ripple effects in the economy captured by general equilibrium (GE) models. To demonstrate our point, we compare a traditional PE with a GE approach for the application to nocturia, a condition characterized by the need to frequently wake up at night to urinate. Nocturia is associated with substantial impairment of daytime functioning and work productivity. We employ large-scale United Kingdom (UK) employer-employee survey data to estimate the prevalence and productivity loss. These estimates are then used as shared inputs to drive both approaches. We find that the traditional PE approach underestimates the annual productivity cost of clinically relevant nocturia by around 16%. We propose a generalized GE/PE multiplier to approximate the GE effect for other health conditions. Our findings stress the importance of accounting for sizable GE effects when conducting health economic evaluations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the association between self-reported sleep quality and nocturia in nursing home residents. METHODS The association between self-reported poor sleep quality and nocturia was examined in eighty nursing home residents from two nursing facilities using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Poor sleep quality was reported by 29% of the eighty participants (median age 89±7 years, 77% of women). Nocturia was more frequent in patients with versus without self-reported poor sleep quality (78% vs 47%, p=0.01). Nocturia was independently associated with self-reported poor sleep quality after controlling for age, gender, self-rated health status, cognitive frailty score, antidepressant and hypnosedative use (OR[95%CI] of 6.1[1.8-25.4]). CONCLUSION Nocturia severely impaired sleep quality in nursing home residents. Nocturia should be investigated in nursing home residents to optimize sleep quality.

The present study tested outcomes of the Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention (TranS-C) among midlife and older adults with serious mental illness (SMI). Further, we tested predictors-credibility, expectancy, usefulness, and utilization-that may affect TranS-C outcomes. Midlife and older participants from a community setting (>49 years, 62.3% female, 37.7% African American or Black) with sleep and circadian problems and SMI were randomized to receive TranS-C plus usual care (TranS-C+UC, n = 27) or usual care followed by delayed treatment with TranS-C (UC-DT, n = 26). Immediate and delayed TranS-C data were combined to increase power (combined n = 52). Outcomes were assessed at pretreatment, posttreatment, and 6-month follow-up. Credibility and expectancy were assessed during the second session. Usefulness and utilization of TranS-C skills were assessed at posttreatment and 6-month follow-up. TranS-C+UC, relative to UC-DT, was associated with improvements in depression symptoms, sleep disturbance, overall sleep health, and select sleep/wake outcomes, though not all improvements were sustained at 6-month follow-up. Lower usefulness of TranS-C skills predicted more severe sleep disturbance at posttreatment and daytime sleep-related impairment at posttreatment and 6-month follow-up. Lower utilization predicted more severe psychiatric symptoms at posttreatment, sleep disturbance at posttreatment and 6-month follow-up, and overall impairment and daytime sleep-related impairment at 6-month follow-up. Higher credibility and expectancy predicted greater usefulness of TranS-C skills at posttreatment and 6-month follow-up and greater utilization at 6-month follow-up. Together, findings highlight benefits of TranS-C for midlife and older adults with SMI. However, boosting credibility, expectancy, utilization, and usefulness may meaningfully improve TranS-C outcomes.

Obesity and Voiding Parameters in a Community-Based Population of Okinawa, Japan: Kumejima Digital Health Project (KDHP). Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12050468. [PMID: 35629972 PMCID: PMC9145398 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12050468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2022] [Revised: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Evidence has accumulated regarding the etiology of lower urinary tract symptoms associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify which subjectively and objectively measured voiding parameters were associated with obesity in a community-based population. (2) Methods: Voiding parameters on a self-administered questionnaire and a digital self-health monitoring system for urine excretion (s-HMSU) were compared between participants with and without obesity, defined as a body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2 (n = 30 and 29, respectively), from a community in Okinawa, Japan. Logistic regression analysis was employed to calculate the odds ratios of abnormalities in voiding parameters for the obese group, with the non-obese group serving as a reference. (3) Results: The obese group had odds ratios of 5.17 (95% confidence interval: 1.33−20.0) for shortened hours of undisturbed sleep (<302 min) by s-HMSU and 7.65 (1.88−31.1) for nighttime urinary frequency by a questionnaire after adjusting for age and sex. In addition, the obese group had an adjusted odds ratio of 2.27 (0.76−6.78) for decreased maximum bladder capacity (<212 mL) by s-HMSU. (4) Conclusion: the results of the present study suggest that nocturia and shortened hours of undisturbed sleep are signs of obesity.

Abstract
Objectives Many patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) have nocturia. However, the predictive index of nocturia in patients with OSAS is currently not well known. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of nocturia in patients with OSAS and determine the factors that could predict nocturia in these patients. Methods In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we enrolled 1,264 untreated patients with OSAS (Apnea-Hypopnea Index, AHI ≥5/h on polysomnography [PSG]) from January 2017 to January 2020. Participants completed the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Participants were divided by sex and then subdivided into nocturia and non-nocturia groups according to the following question, “Do you go to the bathroom two times or more during your sleep?” Participants’ characteristics and underlying disease were investigated, and all information, including PSG data, was compared between the two groups using the t-test or chi-square test. Results Overall, 35.2% (337/958) of male participants with OSAS and 59.8% (183/306) of female participants with OSAS had nocturia. The nocturia group was older; scored higher on the BDI-II, PSQI, and ISI; and had more underlying disease in both sexes. There was no difference in the AHI between the two groups among both sexes, but the hypoxia-related PSG parameters and sleep quality parameters, such as higher 90% oxygen desaturation index (90% ODI), lesser N3 sleep, and higher wakefulness after sleep onset, were worse among male participants with OSAS in the nocturia group than in the non-nocturia group. In multivariate logistic analysis, 90% ODI was an independent risk factor associated with nocturia in male participants with OSAS. Conclusions Considerable number of patients with OSAS had nocturia and poor sleep quality. Nocturia should be evaluated in male OSAS patients with severe hypoxia observed during sleep.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine whether a history of nocturnal enuresis affects nighttime urinary frequency and to evaluate nocturia etiologies in adults. METHODS A total of 143 participants with at least one episode of nocturia per night were included in this study. The self-reported questionnaire collected data on demographic characteristics, medical history, history of nocturnal enuresis in elementary school, lower urinary tract symptoms, and frequency-volume charts. RESULTS A history of nocturnal enuresis was observed in 52.4% of participants. However, night-time urinary frequency was significantly lower in participants with a history of nocturnal enuresis in elementary school than in those without such history. On multivariate analysis, a history of nocturnal enuresis was also negatively associated with nighttime urinary frequency (p<0.01). There was a collinearity effect between age and nighttime urinary frequency. A history of nocturnal enuresis did not affect the presence of nocturnal polyuria or overactive bladder in participants. However, sleep disturbances were fewer in participants with a history of nocturnal enuresis (odds ratio 0.404). CONCLUSIONS A history of nocturnal enuresis might be negatively associated with nighttime urinary frequency due to fewer sleep disturbances. Further, progression of nocturia may depend on conditions, such as age and acquired diseases.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the association of nocturia with the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. METHODS Among the 40 790 individuals who participated in NHANES from 2005 to 2012, 14 114 adults were analyzed in this study. A participant was considered to have nocturia if they have two or more voiding episodes nightly. In addition, participants with nocturia more than four times in a day were considered to have severe nocturia. A multivariate logistic regression analysis with adjustment for confounding variables, including age, sex, race, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, alcohol consumption, sleeping time, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus was performed with 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM). RESULTS Nocturia occurred in 4610 individuals (32.7%). The prevalence of CVD was significantly higher in men, older individuals, those with higher BMI, smokers, and those with diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. There was also a significantly higher prevalence of nocturia in the participants with CVD. Multivariate analysis showed that odds ratios (ORs) of mild and severe nocturia for CVD were 1.23 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.08-1.39) and 1.74 (95% CI: 1.39-2.17), respectively. After 1:1 PSM, the ORs of mild and severe nocturia were 1.27 (95% CI: 1.10-1.48) and 1.73 (95% CI: 1.33-2.26), respectively, showing statistical significance. CONCLUSION Data from the NHANES indicate that CVD was significantly associated with the prevalence of nocturia, after taking major confounding factors into account. Furthermore, the risk for CVD increases with increasing nocturia severity.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the effect of a mobile digital intervention on voiding patterns, we performed 24-h voided volume monitoring in individuals with metabolic disorders. Methods Participants with metabolic disorders were grouped into either the intervention group (n = 17), who had access to a smartphone app (CARADA), or the non-intervention group (n = 11), who did not. Urine monitoring was conducted for 24 h using a novel digital self-health monitoring system for urine excretion (s-HMSU). Body weight, abdominal circumference, blood pressure, and biomarkers were measured. Results Physical findings and blood test results at baseline and 6 months indicated no significant between-group differences. Night-time frequency did not change between baseline and 6 months in the intervention group but significantly worsened at 6 months in the non-intervention group, as compared to baseline (1.0 ± 0.7 vs. 1.5 ± 0.5, p < 0.05). The change in night-time frequency over 6 months did not differ between the intervention and non-intervention groups. Furthermore, the change in hours of undisturbed sleep over 6 months did not differ between the two groups. However, compared with baseline, nocturnal polyuria index tended to worsen at 6 months in the non-intervention group. Conclusion Our study results suggest that mobile digital intervention might be useful for behavioral therapy to improve night-time frequency and urine production and that s-HMSU might be beneficial for confirming the prevention of progress in individuals with metabolic disorders, which can aid in modifying lifestyle.

Abstract
Growing evidence has identified nocturia as a potential manifestation of several cardiovascular disease states. We aimed to determine whether a relationship exists between nocturia and global atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk, defined by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) ASCVD risk calculator, using a large nationally-representative study sample from the United States. We explored potential associations between nocturia and ASCVD risk in adults aged 40-79 years with no prior history of overt/known atherosclerotic disease from 7 consecutive cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Subjects were classified by whether they met the ASCVD high-risk threshold following current ACC/AHA consensus guidelines (10-year major adverse cardiovascular event risk ≥ 20%). Logistic regression analyses were used to explore associations between nocturia (defined as ≥ 2 nocturnal voids) and ASCVD risk. The prevalence of nocturia and high ASCVD risk were 27.0% and 10.9%, respectively. Nocturia, older age, increased body mass index, and diuretic use were associated with high ASCVD risk on univariate logistic regression. After adjusting for age, body mass index, and diuretic use, nocturia remained associated with significantly greater odds of high ASCVD risk in females but not in males. Elicitation of nocturia on clinical history taking may serve to identify high cardiovascular risk in females. Future studies are needed to elucidate mechanisms underlying this association.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS Nocturia, defined as the act of waking to pass urine during sleeping, is a common problem in older women and is associated with significant morbidity and impairments in health-related quality of life. The aim of this review was to synthesize the current evidence regarding the incidence, impact, pathophysiology, and specific diagnostic approach of nocturia in the postmenopausal population. METHODS We searched PubMed and Web of Science databases to identify relevant studies published through June 2020. Reference lists of the reviews obtained were screened for other articles deemed pertinent by the authors. RESULTS Genitourinary symptoms attributed to the menopause have been reported to occur in nearly 90% of postmenopausal women, and nocturia is one of the most common. The relative deficiency in endogenous estrogen production after the menopause is thought to exacerbate all major pathophysiological mechanisms that may underlie nocturia, including reduced bladder capacity, nocturnal polyuria, global polyuria, and sleep disorders. Diminished estrogen may induce anatomical and physiological bladder changes, contributing to a reduction in functional bladder capacity. Excess nocturnal urine production can also be provoked by estrogen depletion, either via free water-predominant diuresis by an impaired secretion of antidiuretic hormone, or a salt-predominant diuresis owing to diminished activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis. Additionally, a relationship between the transition to menopause and impaired sleep has been described, mediated by increased incidence in vasomotor symptoms and obstructive sleep apnea signs during the menopause. CONCLUSION Further research is necessary to better characterize and manage nocturia in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
AIMS Nocturia, due to nocturnal polyuria and other conditions associated with nocturnal voiding, affects sleep quality and daytime quality of life (QOL). We aimed to investigate the relationship among nocturia, sleep quality, and daytime QOL in a young Japanese population. METHODS This epidemiological study analyzed data from a retrospective data set containing sleep data from wearable devices worn by 9446 Japanese users and a prospective data set containing answers to a 10-item questionnaire completed by a subset of 605 users in the retrospective dataset. We recorded the first uninterrupted sleep period (FUSP), total sleep time (TST), number of nocturnal voids, sleep quality, daytime QOL, bothering nocturnal voids, and early wake-ups in the morning. RESULTS The subjects were 18-65 years old. The mean TST was 6.7 ± 0.9 h, and the mean number of wake-ups was 2.11 ± 1.1. FUSP and TST decreased (from 334 ± 114 to 173 ± 74 min and 5.9 ± 1.0 to 5.5 ± 1.0 h, respectively) with an increasing number of nocturnal voids, and the change was statistically significant. Logistic regression analysis showed a statistically significant relationship between nocturia and FUSP and the number of wake-ups. CONCLUSION Nocturia has close relationships with FUSP and the number of wake-ups and can result in decreased daytime QOL in young Japanese people.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the relationship between nocturia and medical history of nocturnal enuresis: two conditions where diurnal urination rhythm is disturbed. METHODS The Nagahama study is a longitudinal population-based health survey involving people aged 30-75 years in Nagahama city, Japan. Our analysis included 5,402 participants who completed enuresis and International Prostate Symptom Score questionnaires. Associations between nocturnal enuresis and nocturia were evaluated cross-sectionally and longitudinally with three models: (1) univariate analysis; (2) adjusted for basic characteristics (e.g., age, sex, body mass index, activity, alcohol, and smoking); and (3) adjusted for basic and clinical variables (e.g., hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, renal insufficiency, insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, and mental health). RESULTS In total, 1,613 participants (29.9%) had a medical history of enuresis. The mean night-time frequency was 0.73 at baseline and 0.85 at the 5-year follow-up. The cross-sectional analysis showed participants with a medical history of enuresis had night-time frequency more often than those without this history (0.84 vs. 0.68, p < .0001). Significant differences were observed in Models 2 (p < .0001) and 3 (p < .0001). The longitudinal analysis showed nocturia progression was significantly related to a history of enuresis, with odds ratios of 1.32 (p < .0001) in Model 1, 1.21 (p < .01) in Model 2, and 1.22 (p < .01) in Model 3. CONCLUSIONS Medical history of enuresis during school age was significantly related to nocturia in adulthood in the cross-sectional analysis, and to progression to nocturia in the longitudinal analysis. These two conditions may possess a common causative association.

Abstract
Aims: Nocturia (getting up at night to urinate, where each urination being followed by sleep or intention to sleep) is a bothersome symptom with potentially negative consequences for individual health and daytime functioning. This study assessed the burden of nocturia in the workplace by investigating associations between nocturia and subjective well-being (SWB), work engagement and productivity.Methods: Using large-scale international workplace survey data, the associations between nocturia, SWB, work engagement (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, UWES-9) and productivity (Work Productivity and Activity Impairment, WPAI) were assessed. Bivariate and multivariate regression analysis was used with adjustment for a large set of confounding factors, including sleep duration and sleep quality.Results: Across a study sample of 92,129 observations, aged 18-70, an average of 10% of the survey population reported ≥2 nocturnal voids (generally considered clinically significant nocturia), with prevalence of nocturia increasing with age. Individuals with nocturia reported a 35.7% (p < .001) higher relative sleep disturbance score and were 10.5 percentage points (pp) (p < .001) more likely to report short sleep. Adjusted for covariates, nocturia was associated with a 3.5% (p < .001) lower relative SWB score and a 2% (p < .001) lower relative UWES-9 work engagement score. Nocturia was associated with a 3.9 pp (p < .001) higher work impairment due to absenteeism and presenteeism (WPAI). Adjusting additionally for sleep disturbance and sleep duration reduced the magnitude of the estimated effects, suggesting a key role for poor sleep in explaining the relationship between nocturia and the outcomes (SWB, UWES-9, WPAI) assessed.Conclusions: A key contribution of this study is the assessment of the association between nocturia and a range of work performance outcomes in a sizeable study using validated instruments to measure work engagement and productivity. The study highlights the importance of taking sleep into account when assessing the relationship between nocturia and associated outcomes.

Rationale, design, and methods of electroencephalography-based investigation of the effects of oral desmopressin on improving slow-wave sleep time in nocturnal polyuria patients (the DISTINCT study): protocol for a single-arm, open-label, single-assignment trial. BMC Urol 2020; 20:96. [PMID: 32652972 PMCID: PMC7353714 DOI: 10.1186/s12894-020-00668-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Nocturia is one of the most bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms and often impairs sleep quality in the elderly. Although previous studies on nocturia have indicated that the successful treatment of nocturia improves sleep quality, most used questionnaires and activity devices to analyze sleep/wake patterns. Therefore, there is little information about the treatment effects of desmopressin on objective sleep quality. The aim of the DISTINCT study is to investigate the change in subjective and objective sleep quality using electroencephalography (EEG) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) after the administration of desmopressin in patients with nocturia due to nocturnal polyuria. Methods A total of 20 male patients, ≥65 years old, with nocturnal polyuria, defined as a nocturnal polyuria index (NPi) (nocturnal urine volume / 24 h urine volume) value ≥0.33, will participate in this study. The participants must have a nocturnal frequency of ≥2 and the first uninterrupted sleep period (FUSP) must occur within < 2.5 h. Desmopressin 50 μg per day will be orally administered before going to bed for 4 weeks. Urinary frequency volume charts (FVC) and EEG will be recorded prior to treatment and at 1 week and 4 weeks after the initiation of treatment. The PSQI will be completed before and 4 weeks after treatment. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline in the mean time of slow-wave sleep (sleep stages N3 and N4) at 4 weeks. The secondary endpoints include the change in the mean value of each sleep variable, the mean delta power during the FUSP, the correlation between nocturnal urinary frequency and slow-wave sleep time, and the change in PSQI score before and after treatment. Discussion The DISTINCT study will provide valuable evidence to indicate that oral desmopressin treatment for nocturnal polyuria prolongs the FUSP, resulting in the extension of slow-wave sleep time associated with sleep quality. Trial registration The Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCTs051190080). Registered 9 December, 2019.

Abstract
Background The objective of this study is to evaluate current literature on the association between cognitive dysfunction and nocturia. Methods A systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement was conducted through MEDLINE, EMBASE and COCHRANE databases and completed in November 2019. Randomized and non-randomized studies were included if they assessed the association between cognitive dysfunction and nocturia in older participants with or without neurological diseases. The quality of included studies was evaluated using the Risk of Bias Assessment tool for Non-randomized Studies (RoBANS). Results A total of 8 cross-sectional studies conducted in older patient populations met the criteria for inclusion. A statistically significant association was identified in 6 studies on univariate analysis, which persisted in 2 studies after controlling for confounding factors. The association between cognitive dysfunction and nocturia was positive for all 6 significant analyses. The overall risk of bias was unclear. Conclusion A significant positive association between cognitive dysfunction and nocturia was identified. However, research has been limited to cross-sectional studies, which precludes identification of causality between cognitive dysfunction and nocturia. Heightened awareness of the complex interplay between cognition and nocturia would allow professionals involved in the care of cognitively impaired patients with concomitant nocturia to more effectively manage these symptoms.

Abstract
The objective of our study was to characterize and analyze the associations between OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) and other clinical variables in adult patients referred for sleep evaluation by polysomnography at a referral center in Beirut, Lebanon, in terms of sociodemographic features, symptoms presentation and comorbidities, and evaluate the burden of comorbidities associated with this disease. All individuals with suspected Sleep Apnea referred (January 2010-September 2017) for a one-night polysomnography were included. Demographics, self-reported symptoms and comorbidities were documented. The relationship between OSA severity and the presence of symptoms and comorbidities were evaluated using multivariate logistic regression. Overall, 663 subjects were assessed. Of these, 57.3% were referred from chest physicians, and sleep test results were abnormal in 589 subjects (88.8%) of whom 526 patients (89.3%) fulfilled diagnostic criteria for OSA; 76.3% were men and women were on average older. OSA was severe in 43.2% and more severe in men. Almost all patients were symptomatic with ~2–4 symptoms per patient and women presented with symptoms that are more atypical. Comorbidities were significantly higher in women. In the multivariate analysis, age, male sex, obesity, symptoms of snoring, excessive daytime somnolence and witnessed apneas were associated with OSA severity. Only age and obesity were associated with self-reported diagnosis of hypertension and diabetes. This is the first study in Lebanon to explore the characteristics of patients with polysomnography-diagnosed OSA. High prevalence of severe OSA and low referral rates in the medical community support promoting awareness for an earlier diagnosis and more personalized approach in this country.

Abstract
PURPOSE The first aim of this study was to compare nighttime voiding frequency (nocturia), serum hemoglobin A1c level, peripheral neuropathy score, and global sleep quality score in younger (>40 to <65 years) versus older (≥65 years) women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Additional aims were to identify factors associated with clinically relevant nocturia (≥2 episodes/night) and to analyze relationships between nocturia frequency, glycemic control, peripheral neuropathy, and sleep quality in these women. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING AND SUBJECTS Participants were 118 women older than 40 years and with type 2 DM. Their mean age was 65.25 (SD = 9.66) years; the mean duration since diagnosis of type 2 DM was 10.96 (SD = 7.66) years. The study setting was 2 metabolism and endocrinology outpatient departments located in Taipei City and Taoyuan, Taiwan. METHODS Data were collected using a questionnaire that queried sociodemographic information, lower urinary tract symptoms, and sleep quality. We also assessed peripheral neuropathy and lower extremity edema and obtained pertinent information from participants' medical records. Independent t tests, multivariate logistic regression analyses, Spearman's rank correlation coefficients, and one-way analysis of variance were used to address the 3 study aims. RESULTS Analyses found that older women (aged ≥65 years) had a significantly higher nighttime voiding frequency, a higher peripheral neuropathy score, and a higher sleep quality score than younger (>40 to <65 years) women. Multivariate logistic regression analyses identified 4 factors associated with clinically relevant nocturia advanced age, elevated hemoglobin A1c level, suspected peripheral neuropathy, and lower extremity edema. Significant correlation coefficients were found between nighttime voiding frequency and serum hemoglobin A1c levels, peripheral neuropathy scores, and sleep quality scores. Analyses also found that women with a greater nocturia frequency had higher hemoglobin A1c levels, peripheral neuropathy scores, and sleep quality scores. CONCLUSIONS Healthcare professionals should screen for nocturia in women with type 2 DM and provide appropriate management for those experiencing nocturia.

Abstract
Purpose We aimed to investigate the association of obesity with nocturia using a nationally representative sample of adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2005 and 2012. Methods A total of 14,135 participants were included in this study. We performed a multivariate logistic regression analysis to find the odds ratio (OR) of obesity for nocturia. Furthermore, the OR of BMI for nocturia was analyzed using restricted cubic splines (RCS) with five knots. We conducted subgroup analysis according to age, sex, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus (DM) and further analysis with 1:1 matching data with propensity score. Results The participants who had body mass index (BMI) above 30 kg/m2 had a significantly higher OR for nocturia (OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.28–1.50) than those without obesity. RCS showed a dose-dependent relationship between BMI and OR for nocturia. Subgroup analysis by age, sex, hypertension, and DM showed similar results. Further analysis with 1:1 matching data showed a significant association of obesity with the prevalence of nocturia (OR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.10–1.41). Conclusions This study reported that obesity was significant association with the prevalence of nocturia with dose-dependent manner, regardless of age, sex, hypertension, and DM after taking major confounding factors into account.

Abstract
AIM To validate a novel digital health monitoring system to measure the volume of voided urine. METHODS Micturition volume was calculated using our novel digital self-health monitoring system of urine excretion (s-HMSU) in 18 participants (16 women and 2 men; average age, 40.8 years), without a history of voiding symptoms. Participants completed a self-reported questionnaire regarding their medical history and water intake during the period of observation, as well as the Core Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score (CLSS) questionnaire. To assess the reliability of the voided volumes measured using the s-HMSU, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated between the volume and the change in body weight before and after micturition. RESULTS The CLSS questionnaire confirmed the absence of urinary system diseases in all participants. The medical history was also negative with the exception of hypertension in one participant. The ICC (1,1) between the measured volume of urine excretion using the s-HMSU and the change in body weight was 0.972 (95% confidence interval, 0.957-0.982). CONCLUSIONS The s-HMSU system provides a reliable measure of voiding volume and is appropriate for home use. It has the potential to facilitate large-scale clinical research to examine the relationship between medical diseases and voiding dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been reported that the clinical expression of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may differ in women and men. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of gender on reported OSA-related symptoms in a large clinical population of patients. METHODS The database from the sleep laboratory of a tertiary care center was examined. Adult patients who had undergone a diagnostic polysomnography and completed the Berlin questionnaire, a sleep questionnaire, and the Epworth sleepiness scale were selected. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between OSA-associated symptoms and different potential explanatory variables. RESULTS The study sample included 1084 patients, median age was 53 years, 46.5% (504) were women, 72.7% (788) had OSA (apnea/hypopnea index ≥ 5), and 31.2% were obese. After adjusting for age, body mass index, and apnea/hypopnea index, men were more likely to report snoring (OR 4.06, p < 0.001), habitual or loud snoring (OR 2.34, p < 0.001; 2.14, p < 0.001, respectively) and apneas (OR 2.44, p < 0.001), than women. After controlling for multiple variables, female gender was an independent predictive factor for reported tiredness (OR 0.57, p 0.001), sleep onset insomnia (OR 0.59, p 0.0035), and morning headaches (OR 0.32, p < 0.001). Reports of excessive daytime sleepiness, nocturia, midnight insomnia, and subjective cognitive complaints were not significantly associated with gender. CONCLUSION Women with OSA were more likely to report tiredness, initial insomnia, and morning headaches, and less likely to complain of typical OSA symptoms (snoring, apneas) than men.

Abstract
Day-night changes in the storage capacity of the urinary bladder are indispensable for sound sleep. Connexin 43 (Cx43), a major gap junction protein, forms hemichannels as a pathway of ATP in other cell types, and the urinary bladder utilizes ATP as a mechanotransduction signals to modulate its capacity. Here, we demonstrate that the circadian clock of the urothelium regulates diurnal ATP release through Cx43 hemichannels. Cx43 was expressed in human and mouse urothelium, and clock genes oscillated in the mouse urothelium accompanied by daily cycles in the expression of Cx43 and extracellular ATP release into the bladder lumen. Equivalent chronological changes in Cx43 and ATP were observed in immortalized human urothelial cells, but these diurnal changes were lost in both arrhythmic Bmal1-knockout mice and in BMAL1-knockdown urothelial cells. ATP release was increased by Cx43 overexpression and was decreased in Cx43 knockdown or in the presence of a selective Cx43 hemichannel blocker, which indicated that Cx43 hemichannels are considered part of the components regulating ATP release in the urothelium. Thus, a functional circadian rhythm exists in the urothelium, and coordinates Cx43 expression and function as hemichannels that provide a direct pathway of ATP release for mechanotransduction and signalling in the urothelium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nocturia is the bothersome symptom of awakening one or more times per night to void. Desmopressin is a commonly used medication for treating nocturia. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of desmopressin as compared to other interventions in the treatment of nocturia in men. SEARCH METHODS We performed a comprehensive search of medical literature with no restrictions on the language of publication or publication status. The date of the latest search of all databases was August 2017. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomized or quasi-randomized trials. Inclusion criteria were men with nocturia defined as one or more voids per night. Trials of children, adults with primary or secondary enuresis or underlying distinct disorders were excluded. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently classified studies and abstracted data from the included studies. We performed statistical analyses using a random-effects model and interpreted data according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. MAIN RESULTS We included 14 studies with 2966 randomized men across five comparisons. Desmopressin versus placebo: based on short-term follow-up (up to three months), desmopressin may have a similar effect on the number of nocturnal voids (mean difference (MD) -0.46, 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.94 to 0.01; low-quality evidence). We are uncertain about the effect of desmopressin on major adverse events at short-term follow-up (risk ratio (RR) 0.97, 95% CI 0.10 to 9.03; very low-quality evidence). For intermediate-term follow-up (three to 12 months), desmopressin may reduce the number of nocturnal voids in an appreciable number of participants (MD -0.85, 95% CI -1.17 to -0.53; low-quality evidence). Desmopressin may result in little or no difference in major adverse events at intermediate-term follow-up (RR 3.05, 95% CI 0.13 to 73.39; low-quality evidence). We found no evidence on quality of life. Subgroup analyses suggest a larger effect with oral, higher-dose formulations of desmopressin and in men with documented nocturnal polyuria. Desmopressin versus behavior modification: there were no data regarding the effect on the number of nocturnal voids, quality of life, or major adverse events. Desmopressin versus alpha-blocker: based on short-term follow-up, desmopressin likely has a similar effect on the number of nocturnal voids (MD 0.30, 95% CI -0.20 to 0.80; moderate-quality evidence) and quality of life (MD 0.00, 95% CI -0.35 to 0.35; moderate-quality evidence). There were no major adverse events in either study group. Desmopressin plus alpha-blocker versus alpha-blocker alone: based on short-term follow-up, combination therapy likely results in a small, unimportant reduction in the number of nocturnal voids (MD -0.47, 95% CI -0.73 to -0.21; moderate-quality evidence) and quality of life (MD -0.29, 95% CI -0.51 to -0.07; moderate-quality evidence). The risk of major adverse events may be similar (RR 0.30, 95% CI 0.01 to 7.32; low-quality evidence). Desmopressin plus alpha-blocker versus alpha-blocker plus an anticholinergic: based on short-term follow-up, combination therapy likely results in little or no difference in the number of nocturnal voids (MD -0.43, 95% CI -0.97 to 0.11; moderate-quality evidence). We found no evidence on quality of life. There were no major adverse events in either study group. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Desmopressin may reduce the number of nocturnal voids in an appreciable number of participants compared to placebo in intermediate-term (three to 12 months) follow-up without increase in major adverse events. We found no evidence to compare its effects to behavior modification. The effect on the number of nocturnal voids is likely similar to that of alpha-blockers short-term with very infrequent major adverse events. There appears to be no added benefit in the combined use of desmopressin with an alpha-blocker or an anticholinergic. The findings of this review were limited by short-term follow-up, study limitations, and imprecision.

THE EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF HEALTH ECONOMICS : HEPAC : HEALTH ECONOMICS IN PREVENTION AND CARE 2017; 18:761-771. [PMID: 27678109 PMCID: PMC5486451 DOI: 10.1007/s10198-016-0826-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2016] [Accepted: 08/25/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our aim was to estimate the prevalence-based cost of illness imposed by nocturia (≥2 nocturnal voids per night) in Germany, Sweden, and the UK in an average year. METHODS Information obtained from a systematic review of published literature and clinicians was used to construct an algorithm depicting the management of nocturia in these three countries. This enabled an estimation of (1) annual levels of healthcare resource use, (2) annual cost of healthcare resource use, and (3) annual societal cost arising from presenteeism and absenteeism attributable to nocturia in each country. RESULTS In an average year, there are an estimated 12.5, 1.2, and 8.6 million patients ≥20 years of age with nocturia in Germany, Sweden, and the UK, respectively. In an average year in each country, respectively, these patients were estimated to have 13.8, 1.4, and 10.0 million visits to a family practitioner or specialist, ~91,000, 9000, and 63,000 hospital admissions attributable to nocturia and 216,000, 19,000, and 130,000 subjects were estimated to incur a fracture resulting from nocturia. The annual direct cost of healthcare resource use attributable to managing nocturia was estimated to be approximately €2.32 billion in Germany, 5.11 billion kr (€0.54 billion) in Sweden, and £1.35 billion (€1.77 billion) in the UK. The annual indirect societal cost arising from both presenteeism and absenteeism was estimated to be approximately €20.76 billion in Germany and 19.65 billion kr (€2.10 billion) in Sweden. In addition, in the UK, the annual indirect cost due to absenteeism was an estimated £4.32 billion (€5.64 billion). CONCLUSIONS Nocturia appears to impose a substantial socioeconomic burden in all three countries. Clinical and economic benefits could accrue from an increased awareness of the impact that nocturia imposes on patients, health services, and society as a whole.

Abstract
PURPOSES To explore correlates of nocturia, compare sleep quality and glycemic control for women with and without nocturia, and examine relationships of nocturia with sleep quality and glycemic control in women with diabetes. DESIGN This study was a cross-sectional, correlational study with data collected from 275 women with type 2 diabetes. METHODS Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify correlates. Chi-squared tests were used to identify candidate variables for the first logistic regression model. A one-way analysis of variance was used to compare sleep quality and glycemic control for women with and those without nocturia. Pearson correlations were used to examine the relationships of nocturia with sleep quality and glycemic control. FINDINGS Of the 275 participants, 124 (45.1%) had experienced nocturia (at least two voids per night). Waist circumference, parity, time since diagnosis of diabetes, sleep quality, and increased daytime urinary frequency were correlated with nocturia after adjusting for age. Compared to women without nocturia, women who had nocturia reported poorer sleep quality. A significant correlation was found between the number of nocturnal episodes and sleep quality. CONCLUSIONS Nocturia and poor sleep are common among women with diabetes. The multifactorial nature of nocturia supports the delivered management and treatments being targeted to underlying etiologies in order to optimize women's symptom management. Interventions aimed at modifiable correlates may include maintaining a normal body weight and regular physical exercise for maintaining a normal waist circumference, and decreasing caffeine consumption, implementing feasible modifications in sleeping environments and maintaining sleep hygiene to improve sleep quality. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Healthcare professionals should screen for nocturia and poor sleep and offer appropriate nonpharmacological lifestyle management, behavioral interventions, or pharmacotherapy for women with diabetes.

Abstract
This study investigated the prevalence of and factors associated with nocturia in Korean men. A total of 92,626 participants aged between 19 and 103 years from the 2011 Korean Community Health Survey (KCHS) were enrolled. Simple and multiple logistic regression analyses with complex sampling investigated participants’ personal health and socioeconomic and disease factors. The prevalence of nocturia ≥1 time and ≥2 times/night was 41.8% and 17.6%, respectively, and nocturia increased with age (1.44 [1.39–1.50] for each 10-year increase, P < 0.001). Lower income levels (lowest, 1.27 [1.19–1.36]; low-middle, 1.13 [1.07–1.19]; upper-middle, 1.00 [0.95–1.06], P = 0.022) and higher levels of stress (severe, 1.38 [1.23–1.55]; moderate, 1.23 [1.16–1.31]; some, 1.11 [1.05–1.16]) exhibited dose-dependent relationships with nocturia (≥1 time; P < 0.001). Low education level (1.27 [1.20–1.36]), long sleep duration (1.33 [1.18–1.50]), and type of occupation showed significant associations with nocturia (≥1 time; P < 0.001). Underweight (1.19 [1.05–1.34]), hypertension (1.09 [1.03–1.15]), diabetes mellitus (1.32 [1.23–1.41]), hyperlipidaemia (1.28 [1.20–1.35]), and cerebral stroke (1.63 [1.40–1.89]) were significantly related to nocturia (≥1 time; P < 0.001). Married men were less likely to experience nocturia ≥2 times per night (0.72 [0.64–0.82], P < 0.001).

Abstract
Background Sleep disturbance is a common complaint in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD). However, the factors resulting in sleep disturbance remain unclear. This retrospective, observational, multicenter study aimed to identify the factors associated with sleep disturbance in patients with COPD. Methods The study was a retrospective, observational, and multicenter research. Data including age, sex, body mass index, smoking status, COPD inhaler prescribed, clinical symptoms, pulmonary function tests, medical history of comorbidities, and questionnaires were collected. Parameters including demographics, symptoms, medication, severity, functional classification, and comorbidities were correlated with sleep quality scores. Results Among 377 patients with COPD, 200 (53 %) patients experienced poor sleep quality (Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index scores > 5). A significant difference in sleep quality, as measured by PSQI scores, was noted between groups based on the 2011 Global Initiatives for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) classification system. The most common sleep disturbances included “getting up to use the bathroom” (70.3 %), “wake up at night or early morning” (40.3 %), and “cough and snore loudly at night” (15.9 %). The use of inhaled corticosteroids, the presence of wheezing, COPD Assessment Test (CAT) scores, and Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale scores positively correlated with poor sleep quality (odds ratio: 1.51, 1.66, 1.09, and 1.30, respectively). Upon multivariate analysis, the CAT score was an independent factor for poor sleep quality in these patients. With the exception of sleep problem items, based on the CAT questionnaire, phlegm was significantly higher in COPD patients with poor sleep quality. Conclusions Poor sleep quality is common among patients with COPD and symptoms including wheeze, phlegm, and inhaled corticosteroid use may contribute to poor sleep quality. The CAT score is a good indicator of poor sleep quality in patients with COPD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Urinary disorders are generally well understood, but there are few reports on the urinary status of people living in unusual climates such as the polar regions. We studied the impact of living conditions on the urinary status of members of the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition. METHODS This prospective study enrolled 12 consenting members of the wintering party stationed at the Syowa Station in Antarctica between November 2012 and March 2014. The subjects completed questionnaires (the International Prostate Symptom Score [IPSS], Overactive Bladder Syndrome Score [OABSS] and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI]) and kept daily voiding dairies for 3 days consecutively every 2 months. RESULTS Compared with baseline values, the mean scores on all the questionnaires decreased during the stay in Antarctica, from 3.42 to 2.31 for the IPSS, 1.25 to 0.986 for the OABSS, and 4.58 to 3.78 on the PSQI. A significant difference was noted in the scores of seven subjects with a 3 point or more decrease in IPSS score and five members with a decrease less than 3 points (-2.22 vs 0.448, P = 0.0416). CONCLUSION This is the first survey of the urinary status of people living in a polar environment. The findings obtained by questionnaires and voiding dairies indicated that urination and sleep status did not worsen during the stay in Antarctica.

Abstract
Background Although nocturia has been reported to increase mortality in elderly individuals, the particular risk factors that are associated with this event are unclear. Therefore, we evaluated risk factors for death in outpatients with nocturia. Methods Between October 2002 and December 2009, 250 consecutive patients with nocturia were enrolled in two general hospitals in Japan. Among them, 193 patients were able to be followed for at least 1 year and up to 9 years (median 4.8 years) if the patients did not die. Mortality rates and risk factors were evaluated in the nocturic outpatients. Results Two- and 5-year survival of the nocturic outpatients was 94.6 % [95 % confidence interval (CI) = 92.2–97.1] and 82.6 % (95 % CI = 75.4–87.8), respectively. Higher Charlson Comorbidity Score, lower body mass index (BMI) and lower Physical Component Summary of Short Form-36 item scores were significantly correlated with mortality (p < 0.0001, p < 0.005 and p < 0.05, respectively) in multivariate analysis. The International Prostate Symptom Score, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Mental or Role/Social Component Summary of Short Form-36 item scores and Nocturnal Polyuria index were not significantly correlated with mortality. The mortality rate was significantly higher in subjects with an underweight BMI (<18.50) compared with a normal range (18.50–24.99) or overweight (≥25.00) BMI [p < 0.00005, hazard ratio (HR) = 5.84, 95 % CI = 2.03–16.8; p < 0.0005, HR = 5.92, 95 % CI = 1.94–18.0]. Conclusions Additional attention is required for nocturic outpatients with not only a high Charlson Comorbidity Score but also an underweight BMI because of their high mortality. Large prospective studies are warranted to validate this finding and extend more.

Abstract
Recently, studies have shown that the presence of nocturia may not be a benign condition and related with systemic illness and mortality. Elevated blood pressure (BP) was another factor related with nocturia. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is also associated with nocturia. It is now clear that, apart from peripheral BP, central hemodynamic parameters are important for cardiovascular prognosis. However, no previous study in the literature examined the relationship between nocturia and central hemodynamic parameters in patients with T2DM. The current study was designed to examine these relationships. Nocturia was defined as two or more voids per night. Central hemodynamic parameters were assessed from ambulatory BP measurements. In addition to routine biochemistry, 24-h urine collection was performed to measure protein, albumin, and sodium excretion. 158 patients (52.3%) had T2DM and 144 (47.7%) did not have T2DM (control group). The presence of T2DM was independently related with nocturia. Both in whole group and in T2DM patients, most of the hemodynamic parameters are higher in patients with nocturia compared to patients without nocturia. Among patients with T2DM, nocturia was associated with augmentation index and pulse wave velocity. In conclusion, central hemodynamic parameters and markers of vascular stiffness may be related with nocturia in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the motivating factor for why men seek urologic care and determine persistence of these symptoms and any factors that influence resolution. METHODS Men presenting to an outpatient urology clinic with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs) were prospectively evaluated. At each of 2 visits, surveys were administered including the American Urological Association Symptom Index and a chief LUTS complaint (CLC) identification form. On the CLC identification form, symptoms were considered "transient" if only seen at V1 and "persistent" if they were selected at both visits. RESULTS Sixty-five percent of the 1240 participants were able to specify a CLC. Among these, nocturia was by far the most common and was found to be persistent in 49% of cases. When comparing the groups of patients who presented with transient verses persistent nocturia, older age (P <.001), diabetes (P = .006), hypertension (P = .033), alpha-blocker use (P = .018), 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor use (P = .008), higher nocturia severity (P <.001), and more severe American Urological Association Symptom Index scores at initial visit (P = .047) were found to be predictors of persistent nocturia. CONCLUSION Most men with LUTS can identify a predominant CLC. Of these, nocturia is the primary CLC of most men and does not improve in almost 50% of those studied. By improving our identification of a predominant CLC and the patient factors that influence both the development and persistence of urinary symptoms, we may start to better evaluate and hopefully focus treatment on the most bothersome urinary symptom.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and hypertension frequently coexist, and both are associated with higher night-time than daytime urine sodium excretion rate (UNaV). However, the relative contribution of each condition is unknown. We compared the circadian pattern of UNaV in hypertensive and normotensive patients with and without OSA. METHODS Hypertensive [blood pressure (BP) >140/90 or on antihypertensive medications, excluding diuretics] and normotensive (BP <135/85) patients underwent overnight polysomnography to determine the presence or absence of OSA (apnoea-hypopnoea index ≥10 or <10, respectively), same-day 24-h urine collection divided into day and night-time samples and automated evening BP measurement. RESULTS Twenty-six hypertensive (9 without and 17 with OSA) and 26 normotensive (15 without and 11 with OSA) patients were studied. Night-time UNaV was higher in the hypertensive than the normotensive patients. Whereas in the normotensive patients night-time UNaV was unaffected by OSA, in the hypertensive patients, it was higher in those with than without OSA (P = 0.009 for OSA × hypertension interaction). Night : day UNaV ratio was higher in hypertensive than normotensive patients, but was not significantly affected by OSA in either group. On multivariate analysis, SBP and apnoea-hypopnoea index were independent predictors of night-time UNaV (model r = 0.574, P < 0.001) and night : day UNaV ratio (model r = 0.397, P < 0.001). However, SBP was the strongest independent predictor. CONCLUSIONS In hypertensive patients, OSA exacerbates the reversal of the normal circadian sodium excretion pattern by elevating nocturnal UNaV, possibly via its BP-elevating effects. However, OSA does not affect nocturnal UNaV in normotensive patients.

Abstract
Nocturia is a bothersome symptom that increases with age, resulting in sleep disruption, an increased risk of falls, and a greater likelihood of rating one's health as poor. It is often a symptom of conditions that cause low volume voiding, overproduction of urine across the day or only at night and a symptom of a sleep disorder. Nocturia affects quality of life and has an impact on aging in place, thus assessment and treatment are essential. Behavioral treatments should be explored first, keeping in mind what the affected older adult defines as the desired outcomes of treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to evaluate clinical predictors of nocturia in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). MATERIALS AND METHODS In retrospective manner, a total of 200 patients with OSA were randomly included. Group I contained 100 patients with OSA and no nocturia, and Group II included 100 patients with OSA and nocturia. Bivariate logistic analyses were used to identify variables most likely to contribute to nocturia. Multivariate logistic regression of age, waist circumference, STOP score (Snore, Tired, Obstruction and Pressure), and Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) was performed to evaluate predictors of nocturia. Statistical significance was defined as P < 0.05. RESULTS Median nocturia episodes were 2.2 in Group II. Patients were younger in Group I, with a mean age of 45 vs 50 years (P = 0.008). Mean BMI of 30 was similar in both groups, but there were more overweight patients in Group II (28% vs 18%). AHI approached significance between groups-18 vs 23 in group I and II, respectively (P = 0.071). In multivariate analysis, age over 70 years and moderate AHI were statistically significant predictors of nocturia (coefficients 0.6 and -0.2 with P = 0.003 and 0.03, respectively). CONCLUSIONS This study identifies age and AHI score as predictors of nocturia in patients with OSA. This may indicate the usefulness of incorporating nocturia in the screening of patients with OSA. Future studies are needed to further evaluate mechanism of action, clinical significance, and effect of treatment for nocturia in patients with OSA.
