ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the impact of nocturia on health-related quality of life and sleep in men.METHODS:
From January 2008 to December 2008, 284 patients with lower urinary tract symptoms were selected for this study. The participants completed a series of questionnaires on health-related quality of life (the overactive bladder questionnaire, or OAB-q), the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) sleep scale, and the frequency volume chart.RESULTS:
The patient population had a mean age of 60.0+/-13.4 years (range, 40 to 79 years). The mean duration of symptoms was 28.8+/-34.6 months. The mean number of voiding episodes per night was measured as follows 88 patients (31.0%) reported no nocturia, 60 patients (21.1%) reported 2>voids/night > or =1, 56 patients (19.7%) reported 3>voids/night > or =2, and 80 patients (28.2%) reported > or =3 voids/night. The mean number of nocturia episodes increased with age (P=0.001), and the number of nocturia episodes was significantly associated with the OAB-q symptom score (P=0.001) and symptom bother (P=0.001). Among the categories of the MOS sleep scale, sleep index I (P=0.020), sleep disturbance (P=0.010), adequacy of sleep (P=0.005), and somnolence (P=0.041) were significantly associated with an increased number of nocturia episodes.CONCLUSIONS:
The number of nocturia episodes increased with age in men. Nocturia appeared to be associated with further negative effects on sleep quality, health-related quality of life, and symptom bother.
