Nocturia is an increasingly prevalent chronic disease that affects the quality of an individual's life. The prevalence of nocturia exceeds 50% among older adults in the U.S. Inflammation and oxidative stress are considered potential factors affecting nocturia, according to prior research.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common but likely underdiagnosed in urogynecology patients with nocturia, and OSA treatment has the potential to improve nocturia symptoms.
The aim of the study was to assess the effect of implementing a universal screening protocol for OSA in a urogynecology clinic on screening rates, OSA prevalence among patients with nocturia, and symptom improvement following treatment.
Nocturia is the most prevalent lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS) and is closely associated with various diseases and social burdens. Research on the relationship between physical activity and various diseases has progressed significantly.
To investigate the relationship between nocturia and values measured using a novel multifunctional portable urine-measuring device.
Thirty-five older men with nocturia and/or high-normal or high blood pressure were enrolled to record measurements on one full day (24 h) and two nights using the portable device during urination.
Obstructive sleep apnea has been associated with various urinary system diseases, including prostatic hyperplasia and nocturia. Recently, it has been linked to prostate cancer. This study investigated the relationship between the apnea hypopnea index, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, and changes in PSA.
Patients with overactive bladder syndrome-wet (OAB-wet) experience urgency urinary incontinence, particularly urinary frequency and nocturia. Nocturnal enuresis (NE) is less addressed among OAB-wet patients.
Nocturia, marked by frequent nighttime urination, significantly impacts quality of life. This study explores the association of METS-IR (Metabolic Score for Insulin Resistance) and ABSI (A Body Shape Index) with nocturia, using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
Nocturia is among the most common and bothersome urinary tract symptoms in older adults. While sleep quality is key to nocturia management, there is little information on the impact of nocturia itself on sleep quality.
Childhood enuresis may be associated with overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) in adulthood, which may contribute to sleep disorders. The objective was to compare the prevalence of childhood enuresis and sleep quality among women with and without OAB.
