“…34 In a study by Bing et al, the prevalence of nocturia was found to be similar in men and women. 21 However, men had more severe nocturia than women, whereas women were more bothered than men by nocturia. It is a well-known fact that subjective quality of sleep is generally poorer in women than in men.…”

“…With regard to sex difference, there are three different findings for the prevalence of nocturia: (i) it is equal in both sexes; 14,17,20,21,26,79 (ii) it is higher in women; 15,22,23,33 and (iii) it is higher in men. 13,16,27 Tikkinen et al reported that women younger than 50 years had more nocturia than men of the same age, but that the prevalence of nocturia increased twice as rapidly in men as among women with aging.…”

“…[1][2][3] This symptom has long been considered to be one of the symptoms of prostatism, as suggested by the International Prostate Symptom Score, originally the American Urological Association symptom index, which included this symptom. 4 However, several studies have shown that nocturia is a symptom that only mildly benefits from treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia.…”

Abbreviations & AcronymsAbstract: Traditionally, nocturia was considered to be one of the symptoms of prostatism. However, this symptom has unusual characteristics compared with other lower urinary tract symptoms; for example, there is only a mild benefit for nocturia from treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia. In the past decade, nocturia has been investigated as a separate symptom in epidemiological studies. These types of studies have shown various correlates for nocturia other than benign prostatic hyperplasia, as well as the prevalence of this symptom. These correlates include age, race/ethnicity, medical problems (such as hypertension, diabetes and stroke) psychological aspects, tasting habits, quality of life and even mortality. The cause-and-effect associations are not always obvious between nocturia and its correlates. In the present article, the author attempts to comprehensively review the correlates for nocturia shown by epidemiological studies.

“…Few studies have presented the optimal economic model for the evaluation of OSAHS. In a Danish Health Technology Assessment, the use of ambulatory portable diagnostic procedures using partial polygraphy followed by auto-adjusted CPAP was superior to the use of in-hospital, supervised PSG (which is time consuming and costly) and oximetry (which has low sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy) among patients without major comorbidity in the primary care sector [74]. Similar results have been obtained by others, who found oximetry to present low diagnostic accuracy, but also pointed out the use of split-night PSG studies as an alternative diagnostic and therapeutic approach [75].…”

Epidemiological studies have revealed a high prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing in the community (up to 20%). A subset of these patients has concurrent symptoms of excessive daytime sleepiness attributable to their nocturnal breathing disorder and is classified as having obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (4-5% of the middle-aged population). There is strong evidence for an association of sleep apnoea with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular morbidity, as well as adverse public health consequences. Treatment and diagnosis have remained largely unchanged over the past 25 yrs. In moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome, treatment with continuous positive airway pressure has been shown to be effective. Questions remain as to how to screen patients with sleep-disordered breathing. Should time-consuming diagnostic procedures with high sensitivity and specificity be employed, or should simpler methods be applied for screening populations at risk, e.g. in the primary care sector?

Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of nocturia in Korea, to examine the relationship between nocturia and demographic variables, and to determine the impact of nocturia on daily living. Methods: A national telephone survey using quota sampling methods was conducted in Korea. The clinically validated computer-assisted telephone interview approach was used for the survey. Results: Of 2005 subjects (1,005 women and 1,000 men) interviewed, 33.5% reported voiding once per night and 48.2% twice or more per night. Nocturia increased with age among both genders and was more common among young women than young men. In all subjects, multivariate analysis indicated that female gender, older age and an overweight condition were independent risk factors. Body mass index was associated with an increased likelihood of nocturia in male but not in female subjects. In female subjects, the likelihood of at least one night-time void was related to delivery number (odds ratio 1.17, 95% confidence interval 1.04-1.32). An impact of nocturia on daily life was reported by 14.6% of subjects and only 3.8% (4.0% of men and 3.7% of women) sought medical care. Commonly reported reasons for not seeking medical care were the belief that nocturia is a normal consequence of aging or is not a disease (92.8% of subjects reporting an impact of nocturia on daily life). Conclusions: Although nocturia is highly prevalent in the Korean population, it has only a minor impact on daily living, and few individuals seek medical care. Our study provides a valuable insight into the need for tailored nocturia education addressed to the population who view the condition as trivial.
