Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nocturia is a complex and multifactorial condition, associated with several genitourinary abnormalities as well as a host of conditions beyond the urinary tract, and thus often poses a significant diagnostic challenge in real-world practice. Sleep Disorders, Comorbidities, Actions, Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction, and Medications, the so-called "Sleep C.A.L.M." factors, are five common causes of nocturia requiring judicious evaluation according to current consensus guidelines. This study aims to assess the prevalence of the Sleep C.A.L.M. factors in a nocturia clinical population. METHODS Retrospective analysis of frequency-volume charts from men with ≥2 nocturnal voids as well as concurrent demographic, clinical, and medical history data to identify patients with each of the Sleep C.A.L.M. FACTORS Comorbidities and medications were classified as a single group. RESULTS A total of 213 subjects met the criteria for inclusion (median age 68.0 [63.5-75.5] years). The prevalence of 1) sleep disorders, 2) comorbidities and/or medication use, 3) actions (i.e., modifiable behaviors/lifestyle factors), and 4) lower urinary tract dysfunction was 31%, 31%, 19%, and 41%, respectively. Among included participants, 73% were found to have at least 1 Sleep C.A.L.M. factor, and 33% had multiple Sleep C.A.L.M. FACTORS Results were similar upon stratification by age and nocturnal polyuria status. CONCLUSIONS The Sleep C.A.L.M. factors are highly common among nocturia patients in the clinical urology setting. Although many of these factors are strongly associated with advanced age in community-based nocturia study samples, they appear common even among younger men in a nocturia patient population; the differential effect of age and individual Sleep C.A.L.M. factors on nocturia pathophysiology requires further investigation.

Int Neurourol J 2024; 28:55-61.

Abstract
PURPOSE Nocturia significantly impacts patients' quality of life but remains insufficiently evaluated and treated. The "Sleep C.A.L.M." system categorizes the factors thought to collectively reflect most underlying causes of nocturia (Sleep disorders, Comorbidities, Actions [i.e., modifiable patient behaviors such as excess fluid intake], Lower urinary tract dysfunction, and Medications). The purpose of this study was to assess the association of nocturia with the Sleep C.A.L.M. categories using a nationally representative dataset. METHODS Retrospective analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2013/14-2017/18 cycles was conducted. Pertinent questionnaire, laboratory, dietary, and physical examination data were used to ascertain the presence of Sleep C.A.L.M. categories in adults ≥20 years of age. Nocturia was defined as ≥2 nighttime voids. RESULTS A total of 12,274 included subjects were included (51.6% female; median age, 49.0 years [interquartile range, 34.0-62.0 years]; 27.6% nocturia). Among subjects with nocturia, the prevalence of 0, ≥1, and ≥2 Sleep C.A.L.M. categories was 3.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.8%-4.4%), 96.5% (95% CI, 95.6%-97.2%), and 81.2% (95% CI, 78.9%-83.3%), respectively. Compared to those with 0-1 Sleep C.A.L.M. categories, the adjusted odds of nocturia in subjects with 2, 3, and 4-5 Sleep C. A.L.M. categories were 1.77 (95% CI, 1.43-2.21), 2.33 (1.89-2.87), and 3.49 (2.81-4.35), respectively (P<0.001). Similar trends were observed for most age and sex subgroups. When assessed individually, each of the 5 Sleep C.A.L.M. categories were independently associated with greater odds of nocturia, which likewise persisted across multiple age and sex subgroups. CONCLUSION Sleep C.A.L.M. burden is associated with increased odds of nocturia in a dose-dependent fashion, and potentially a relevant means by which to organize the underlying etiologies for nocturia among community-dwelling adults.

Overnight Urge Perception in Nocturia Is Independent of Depression, PTSD, or Anxiety in a Male Veterans Administration Population. J Clin Sleep Med 2019; 15:615-621. [PMID: 30952224 PMCID: PMC6457520 DOI: 10.5664/jcsm.7726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2018] [Revised: 11/27/2018] [Accepted: 01/09/2019] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to compare the urge perception associated with nocturnal voiding at the time of voiding in individuals with and without depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or anxiety diagnoses to test the hypothesis that patients with such diagnoses are more likely to experience insomnia-driven convenience voiding during the sleep period. METHODS A database of voiding diaries with urge perception grades (UPGs) from 429 adult males seeking treatment for nocturia at a Veterans Affairs-based urology clinic was analyzed. The UPG categorizes perception for urinating from 0 (out of convenience) to 4 (desperate urge). Diaries completed by males age 18 years and older showing ≥ 2 nocturnal voids were included. Those included (n = 178) were divided into two cohorts based on the presence (n = 62) or absence (n = 116) of one or more previously established mental health diagnoses (depression, PTSD, or anxiety). The chi-square test was used to determine significance between groups. RESULTS Patients with a mental health diagnosis were more likely to report convenience voiding compared to those without depression, PTSD, or anxiety (14.5% versus 0.8%, P < .01). However, most voids in both groups were associated with the perception of urinary urgency. There were no differences in urinary volumes or hourly rates of urine production between the groups. CONCLUSIONS A relatively small subset of urology patients experience nocturnal voiding because they are awake for reasons other than the urge to void. Mental health factors had a substantial, albeit minimal, effect. Most nocturia reflects urgency to urinate rather than voiding by convenience.

Abstract
The American Geriatrics Society, with support from the National Institute on Aging and other funders, held its eighth Bedside-to-Bench research conference, entitled "Sleep, Circadian Rhythms, and Aging: New Avenues for Improving Brain Health, Physical Health and Functioning," October 4 to 6, 2015, in Bethesda, Maryland. Part of a conference series addressing three common geriatric syndromes-delirium, sleep and circadian rhythm (SCR) disturbance, and voiding dysfunction-the series highlighted relationships and pertinent clinical and pathophysiological commonalities between these three geriatric syndromes. The conference provided a forum for discussing current sleep, circadian rhythm, and aging research; identifying gaps in knowledge; and developing a research agenda to inform future investigative efforts. The conference also promoted networking among developing researchers, leaders in the field of SCR and aging, and National Institutes of Health program personnel.
