To evaluate the impact of nocturia on health-related quality of life and sleep in men.
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.
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 ≥1, 56 patients (19.7%) reported 3>voids/night ≥2, and 80 patients (28.2%) reported ≥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.
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.
评估夜尿对男性健康相关生活质量和睡眠的影响。
本研究于 2008 年 1 月至 12 月期间选择了 284 例下尿路症状患者。参与者完成了一系列健康相关生活质量问卷（膀胱过度活动症问卷，OAB-q）、医学结局研究睡眠量表（MOS）和频率-体积图表。
患者人群的平均年龄为 60.0±13.4 岁（范围为 40 至 79 岁）。症状持续时间的平均为 28.8±34.6 个月。夜间排尿次数的平均值如下：88 例（31.0%）患者无夜尿，60 例（21.1%）患者 2>次/夜≥1，56 例（19.7%）患者 3>次/夜≥2，80 例（28.2%）患者≥3 次/夜。夜尿次数随年龄增加而增加（P=0.001），夜尿次数与 OAB-q 症状评分（P=0.001）和症状困扰（P=0.001）显著相关。在 MOS 睡眠量表的类别中，睡眠指数 I（P=0.020）、睡眠障碍（P=0.010）、睡眠充足度（P=0.005）和嗜睡（P=0.041）与夜尿次数增加显著相关。
男性夜尿次数随年龄增加而增加。夜尿似乎与睡眠质量、健康相关生活质量和症状困扰的进一步负面影响有关。
