Aim: To determine the prevalence of nocturia and associated risk factors in the Colombian population aged ≥18 years old. Methods: This is a cross-sectional population-based study conducted in 1060 participants in Colombia. Nocturia was assessed with the Spanish version of the ICIQ-OAB, using the ICS terminology. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate nocturia prevalence. Logistic regression analysis was carried out to determine the association of nocturia with predefined variables. Results: The prevalence of nocturia was 55.9% and it was more common in women than men (53.96% vs. 46.04%; p = .004). At least three episodes of nocturia were observed in 20.37% of the participants who had a severe alteration in their quality of life (p < .01). The bivariate model showed an association between nocturia and obesity (odds ratio [OR], 1.69; 90% confidence interval [CI]: 1.22-2.34), diabetes mellitus (OR, 2.99; 90% CI: 1.86-4.83), high blood pressure (OR, 2.04; 90% CI: 1.52-2.72), cardiovascular disease (OR, 1.75; 90% CI: 1.08-2.83), depression (OR, 1.89; 90% CI: 1.23-2.89), obstructive sleep apnea (OR, 1.70; 90% CI: 1.17-2.46), and childhood enuresis (OR, 1.45; 90% CI: 1.04-2.02). The multivariate model showed an association with obesity (OR, 2.0; 95% CI: 1.14-3.51) in women, as well as age ≥ 65 years (OR, 3.18; 95% CI: 1.26-8.02) and erectile dysfunction (OR, 3.44; 95% CI: 1.21-9.72) in men. Childhood enuresis was significantly associated with nocturia in both genders (OR, 1.61; 95% CI: 1.09-2.40 in women and OR, 1.66; 95% CI: 1.09-2.52 in men). Conclusion: There is a significant prevalence of nocturia in our population and a clear association with impaired quality of life. We consider important to inquire about history of childhood enuresis to define the risk of presenting nocturia in adulthood. Nocturia was associated with multiple comorbidities. Obesity and erectile dysfunction play an important role as modifiable risk factor.

Web based research in sexual medicine: a position statement of the European Society for Sexual Medicine

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Although the use of the Web has brought major advances in every step of the research process, this also comes with several methodological challenges. Aim The article presents the European Society for Sexual Medicine's position statements on key methodological concerns relative to Web-based research in sexual medicine. Methods The authors conducted a systematic scoping review of articles using Web-based research methods in sexual medicine. For the creation of the statements, the authors processed the data from the methodology of the studies and formulated the final statements reaching 100% agreement in the group. Outcomes European Society for Sexual Medicine statements were provided on the following domains: definition of the population of interest, selection of the population of interest, data collection quality, response rate, self-reported questionnaire, consent, and legal obligations. Results Researchers should justify the relevance of the Internet population to the population of interest; should clearly describe how they identified study participants; should select and employ specific measures to avoid hoax; should explicitly describe the process of calculation of response and completion rates as well as the relative implications; should validate traditional sexual health questionnaires for online and, if possible, multilingual use; should not ignore consent in Web-based research; and need to be knowledgeable of the technical measures and legal obligations to protect anonymity. Implications Researchers are advised to include trained computer scientists in their group, have a good understanding of their legal obligations as to collecting, storing and disseminating personal data, and design their studies by taking into account the challenges of Web-based research. Strengths and limitations The heterogeneity of the included studies and methodological low quality of most of them was a limitation, which also shows the importance of this study and the need for guidelines regarding Web-based research. Conclusion Large uncontrolled samples could be a threat to the quality of the studies and increase bias if researchers are not mindful of the methodological challenges they would need to account for.

Background/Objectives: The objective of this study is to explore potential correlations between prostate volume, LUTS, and IIEF, with a particular emphasis on the relationship between prostate dimensions—width, height, and length—and both LUTS and IIEF and to assess patients based on risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, smoking, alcohol consumption, and PSA levels. Methods: A retrospective multicenter study was conducted between January 2007 and December 2023, focusing on male patients over the age of 40. The study evaluated hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, smoking, alcohol consumption, and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) through the completion of the IPSS and QoL questionnaires, sexual function using the IIEF-15, and PSA levels. Abdominal ultrasound was performed to determine prostate volume and its dimensions (width, height, and length). Results: A total of 943 patients were included in the study, with a mean age of 61.89 ± 8.51 years. From the 40–49 age group to the 80–90 age group, IPSS increased from 10.29 to 14.26 points, PSA from 1.1 ng/mL to 3.05 ng/mL, and prostate volume from 23.79 mL to 41.16 mL. Meanwhile, over the same age intervals, IIEF showed a decline from 52.57 to 24.76 points. The IPSS demonstrated a statistically significant positive correlation (p < 0.05) with prostate volume and patient age, while showing an inverse correlation with IIEF. The only statistically significant correlation between IPSS and prostate dimensions was with the length diameter of the prostate (p = 0.011). The severity of sexual symptoms was inversely correlated with both prostate volume and age. Additionally, IIEF was negatively correlated with the width and length diameters of the prostate. Hypertension (p = 0.57), diabetes (p = 0.57), smoking (p = 0.76), and alcohol consumption (p = 0.27) did not have a statistically significant impact on IPSS, and IIEF except for cardiovascular diseases, which showed a significant correlation with IPSS in patients experiencing moderate to severe symptoms (p = 0.0001). The statistically significant correlation between cardiovascular diseases and IIEF was observed only in patients with severe symptoms (p = 0.0001). Conclusions: There is a correlation between prostate volume, IPSS, and IIEF. Only length of the prostate shows a statistically significant correlation with both IPSS and IIEF. PSA levels increase progressively with each decade of age. Hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and alcohol consumption do not have a statistically significant impact on LUTS and erectile function. Cardiovascular diseases show a correlation with patients experiencing moderate to severe LUTS, as well as with those who have severe symptoms according to the IIEF evaluation.
