In a case-control study with prevalence sampling, the authors explored the correlates for nocturia and their population-level impact. In 2003-2004, questionnaires were mailed to 6,000 subjects (aged 18-79 years) randomly identified from the Finnish Population Register (62.4% participated; 53.7% were female). Questionnaires contained items on medical conditions, medications, lifestyle, sociodemo...

Several reports have demonstrated associations between falls and nocturia in the elderly. However, little information is available regarding other age groups. This study evaluated the relationship between the frequency of nocturia and falls in men using a large, population-based survey in Korea, and the results were adjusted for various confounding factors. Data from a 2011 Korean community hea...

MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, the medical records of 237 women who underwent TOT surgery for the treatment of MUI were reviewed.

Abstract Introduction Nocturia (waking from sleep to urinate) is the most common cause of interruption among older adults and nocturnal polyuria (NP; increased time urine production) its cause. Conversely, poor with repeated awakenings contributes both nocturia NP. However, whether a behavioral intervention reduce can improve NP has not been examined in clinical trial. The current study assesse...

OBJECTIVE To compare efficacy of desmopressin for treatment of nocturia between patients with normal and high nocturnal bladder capacity index (NBCi). METHODS Retrospective analysis of adult patients treated with desmopressin for nocturia. Patients were analyzed according to high or normal NBCi value before treatment. RESULTS 55 patients were identified, aged 49-84, 47 males, 8 females, who...

Sixteen women with multiple sclerosis who complained of nocturia completed a double-blind cross-over trial of Desmopressin (DDAVP) and placebo. Nocturia was reduced from a mean of 2.55 voids to 2.01 with placebo and to 1.28 with Desmopressin (p less than 0.01, for the difference between placebo and Desmopressin). Side effects were minor, and equally distributed between treatment and placebo.
