“…The times at which the patients arose in the morning and went to bed at night were noted on the FV charts. Nighttime was defined as the time from the patient's bedtime to the patient's rising in the morning for each of the registered nights [14]. When assessing the FV chart, the first morning's void was included in the nocturnal urine volume.…”

Impact of stress urinary incontinence and overactive bladder on micturition patterns and health-related quality of life

We examined the impact of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and overactive bladder (OAB) on micturition habits and health-related quality of life (QOL). A total of 250 Korean women were included in the study. The Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (SF-36) and the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) were used to assess QOL in the patient (SUI, n=158 and OAB, n=92) and control (n=70) groups. A control group was recruited at the Health Promotion Center of our hospital. Each of the dimension scores in the SF-36 represents better health, while that of the KHQ does worse health perception. On the frequency-volume charts, patients with OAB had more nighttime voids than those with SUI (P=0.001). Of the eight domains in the SF-36 questionnaire, four domains were significantly different between the control and OAB groups. Patients with SUI had a significantly lower score on one domain than the controls. Between the SUI and OAB groups, only one domain showed a significant difference. Regarding the KHQ, all domain scores in control subjects were significantly lower than those in the SUI and OAB groups. Between the SUI and OAB groups, the OAB group had higher scores on 'general health perception' and 'sleep/energy disturbances', while the scores of 'physical limitations' and 'severity measures' were higher in the SUI group. Women with OAB have a higher number of nocturic episodes than those with SUI, but the QOL is not less affected by SUI than by OAB. Furthermore, simultaneous disease-specific QOL instruments should be used in the evaluation of urinary incontinence because the generic QOL instrument is not a sensitive tool for measuring QOL in this population.

“…Published criteria for nocturnal polyuria have been based on one of the following: (1) nocturnal production rate, 13 (2) total volume voided during the night, 7,14 or (3) a relative value obtained by expressing night volume as a percentage of 24-hr volume. 2,4,9 To our knowledge, there are no published studies of a possible second relative value: night production rate expressed as a proportion of 24-hr production rate.…”

We present regression equations that can be used to adjust night and day Vavg frequency and production rate reference values for the influences of age and total volume. Using these equations, we calculated a table of 95% confidence limits of night urine production and night frequency. The least variable night urine volume measurement studied was night/24-hr production rate; hence this may prove to be the most efficacious measurement to use in detecting nocturnal polyuria.

“…Most of the published studies have tended to concentrate on nocturia in men, because of the perceived association between nocturia and BOO [3,4], although women also experience nocturia [5]. Nocturia becomes increasingly common with increasing age in both men and women [5][6][7], and is associated with considerable morbidity in relation to its association with falls in the elderly secondary to night-time toiletting [8,9].…”

Nocturnal polyuria in community‐dwelling women

OBJECTIVETo determine the age prevalence of nocturnal polyuria among older women in the community, and to investigate the relationship between nocturnal polyuria and nocturia. PATIENTS AND METHODSIn all, 1183 women aged ≥50 years, who were registered with a family doctor practice and who had taken part in a prevalence study, were sent brief questionnaires and a frequency/volume chart (FVC) to complete. RESULTSThere were 227 FVCs with adequate data and 264 completed questionnaires available for analysis. The prevalence of nocturnal polyuria increased disproportionately with age. There was no clear relationship between nocturia or nocturnal polyuria and daytime frequency, nor was there a clear relationship between diuretic use and nocturnal polyuria. CONCLUSIONNocturnal polyuria is common among women in the community and not obviously related to daytime frequency. Night-time symptoms are common in women as well as men, and are troublesome to them.

Nocturia and polyuria in men referred with lower urinary tract symptoms, assessed using a 7‐day frequency‐volume chart

Abstract: Nocturia on a polyuric basis can be detected by using a FV chart. In these patients, a 3-day FV chart would be sufficient to detect nocturia on a polyuric basis and seems therefore to be a valuable tool in evaluating patients with LUTS referred for potential BPH.
