Abstract
Abstract
Background Nocturia has high impact on quality of life (QoL) based on varying geographical and cultural factors. Speculating this, nocturia-related QoL (NRQoL) assessment scale was developed precisely, appropriate to the Indian context.
Objective The current study aimed to develop and validate an NRQoL assessment scale for Indian adults.
Methods An exploratory descriptive design was performed among 420 cases and 206 controls aged 35 to 65 years from two selected tertiary hospitals in Mangaluru, Karnataka, India. The NRQoL assessment scale was formulated through the following phases: review of literature, evaluation by experts, and pretesting. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed to reduce the number of items and to define domains. Reliability, construct validity, discriminant validity, and convergent validity of the scale were calculated.
Results EFA resulted in the removal of seven items from a 36-item instrument, resulting NRQoL assessment scale into six domains as follows: (1) functional, (2) sleep, (3) emotional, (4) physical, (5) social and family, and (6) spiritual. The findings from the tertiary hospitals study confirmed that the scale was valid and reliable to measure NRQoL among adults.
Conclusion The NRQoL assessment scale is a new, valid, and reliable instrument that is well-understood by adults and can be answered quickly. It is a useful new tool that can be translated and tested in other cultures and languages.

Yuen JWM, Wong IYP, Chiu PKF, Teoh JYC, Chan CK, Yee CH, Ng CF. Predictive Values of Nocturia and Its Voiding Frequency on the Aging Males' Symptoms. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:11632. [PMID: 36141927 PMCID: PMC9517266 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph191811632] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Revised: 09/10/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The link between nocturia and aging male symptoms (AMS) has not been scientifically established. This study aimed to measure the degree of severity of AMS that impacts health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adult males living with nocturia and to determine the predictive values of nocturnal factors on AMS. METHODS This is an extended analysis of new data collected by using the Hong Kong Traditional AMS (HK-AMS) scale and the Cantonese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in a recently published cross-sectional population-based survey. RESULTS Of the 781 respondents that completed the set of questionnaires, 68% and 61% of men living with nocturia reported clinically significant (at moderate-to-severe levels) somato-vegetative and sexual AMS; the prevalence and severity were increased with advancing nighttime voiding frequency. Age, the Global PSQI score, certain metabolic diseases, the nocturia-specific QoL (NQoL) score and bedtime voiding frequency were found to be significant predictive factors for composite somato-vegetative and sexual AMS. CONCLUSIONS The current findings suggested the inclusion of nocturia when measuring male-specific HRQoL related to aging.

Int J Clin Pract 2021; 75:e13722. [PMID: 32969572 DOI: 10.1111/ijcp.13722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2020] [Accepted: 09/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify the pathophysiological mechanisms of nocturia and the correlation of these mechanisms with nocturia severity. METHODOLOGY After approval by the local ethics committee, all patients with nocturia (≥1 nocturnal void/night) were included and filled the Overactive Bladder questionnaire, Nocturia Quality of Life, Incontinence Questionnaire - Male Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (male), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (female) and 3-day frequency-volume chart. Patients were divided into three groups according to the severity of nocturia: group 1 consisted of patients with mild (1-2 voids/night), group 2 with moderate (3-4 voids/night) and group 3 with severe nocturia (>4 voids/night). Comparative analysis was performed between groups, and P < .05 was deemed as statistically significant. RESULTS About 68.1%, 64.1% and 8.7% of the patients had nocturnal polyuria (NP), reduced bladder capacity and global polyuria, respectively. 42.7% of the patients had mixed nocturia. 6.1% of the patients did not comply with the aforementioned subtypes and defined as isolated nocturia. Regarding the severity of nocturia, 155 (41%) patients had mild, 167 (45%) patients had moderate and 57 (15%) patients had severe nocturia. Increased nocturia severity was related with decreased quality of life; higher age, urinary tract symptom scores, nocturnal urine volume, evening fluid consumption and beta-blocker medication rates. Increased nocturia severity was also associated with higher NP, global polyuria and reduced bladder capacity rates. CONCLUSIONS Nocturia mechanisms may vary between mild and moderate to severe nocturia groups according to the present study. Nocturia grading with identification of subtypes may help for better standardisation of the diagnostic and treatment approaches as well as for the design of future clinical trials.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tadalafil improves lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) including nocturia. However, the effect of tadalafil on the nocturia-related quality of life (QoL) is still unknown. OBJECTIVE The effects of tadalafil on nocturia and nocturia-related QoL were evaluated prospectively in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as a multicenter study. METHODS Eligible men were ≥40 years with nocturia ≥2 and a prostate volume ≥20 mL. Patients were asked to complete a self-report questionnaire on the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), the Nocturia Quality of Life questionnaire (N-QoL) and the International Index of Erectile Function 5 (IIEF5). Urinary frequency volume charts (FVCs) were also evaluated. These measures were evaluated at baseline, and after 4, 8, and 12 weeks of tadalafil administration (5 mg once daily). RESULTS Thirty-one patients with a mean age of 74 years, a mean prostate volume of 31 mL, and a mean prostate-specific antigen level of 2.8 ng/mL were included. Treatment with tadalafil significantly improved their nocturia after 4 weeks, and these improvements were maintained for the 12-week treatment period. Total N-QoL score in new patients and several N-QoL items (inadequate sleep at night and overall bother) in all patients improved significantly after tadalafil treatment. FVCs revealed a significant improvement in the number of hours of undisturbed sleep (HUS) after treatment with tadalafil. No serious adverse events were observed. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that tadalafil 5 mg once daily improves nocturia, nocturia-related QoL, and HUS in BPH patients with nocturia. These results suggest that tadalafil can offer a clinically meaningful treatment option for BPH patients with nocturia.

Abstract
Nocturia is the interruption of the main sleep, one or more times, due to the need for urination. It is associated with a decrease in the quality of life and an increase in mortality. It is a complex and multifactorial symptom in which two pathophysiological mechanisms are mainly involved. These occur alone or in combination as nocturnal polyuria or decreased bladder capacity. Nocturnal polyuria is the most frequent. The preparation of a bladder diary is the key to diagnosis. Treatment usually combines lifestyle changes and drug therapy. Desmopressin has proven to be an effective and well-tolerated treatment in patients with nocturnal polyuria. The risk of hyponatraemia should be controlled in patients treated with desmopressin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Identifying the prevalence of Stress urinary incontinence (SUI), Urge urinary incontinence (UUI), Functional urinary incontinence (FUI), Overflow urinary incontinence (OUI) and Reflex urinary incontinence (RUI) nursing diagnoses and their defining characteristics in stroke patients. METHOD A cross-sectional study with 156 patients treated in a neurological clinic. Data were collected through interviews and forwarded to nurses for diagnostic inference. RESULTS 92.3% of the patients had at least one of the studied diagnoses; OUI showed the highest prevalence (72.4%), followed by FUI (53.2%), RUI (50.0%), UUI (41.0%) and SUI (37.8%). Overdistended bladder and reports of inability to reach the toilet in time to avoid urine loss were the most prevalent defining characteristics. A statistically significant association of the defining characteristics with the studied diagnosis was verified. CONCLUSION The five incontinence diagnoses were identified in the evaluated patients, with different prevalence.
