RESUMO

Resumo Objetivo Identificar a prevalência e fatores relacionados à noctúria em mulheres que apresentam sintomas do trato urinário inferior. Métodos Inquérito observacional transversal, individuado, de base hospitalar, envolvendo mulheres atendidas pelo Sistema Único de Saúde em ambulatórios de uroginecologia em Niterói e Petrópolis, RJ, Brasil. Foram coletados dados sociodemográficos, clínicos e hábitos de vida. Foram considerados dois desfechos de noctúria: uma ou mais micções e duas ou mais micções, o segundo devido ao maior impacto na qualidade de vida. As associações entre as variáveis investigadas e os desfechos foram avaliadas por modelo de regressão logística, e obtidas razões de chances brutas e ajustadas. Resultados Foram incluídas 132 participantes. A prevalência de noctúria foi 71,2% e, de duas ou mais micções, 56,8%. Houve associação de menor escolaridade (OR: 0,260 [0,106;0,637], p=0,003), incontinência urinária mista (OR: 2,533 [1,103;5,817], p=0,028) e três ou mais comorbidades (OR: 3,105 [1,340;7,196], p=0,008) com maior chance de noctúria. Menor escolaridade (OR: 0,324 [0,148;0,709], p=0,005), menor consumo de cafeína (OR: 0,995 [0,990;1,000], p=0,041) e síndrome da bexiga hiperativa (OR: 2,761 [1,189;6,409], p=0,018) mostraram-se associadas a uma maior chance de duas ou mais micções. Conclusões Na população atendida em serviços especializados, a prevalência de noctúria foi semelhante à da população em geral e à de serviços semelhantes, mas a prevalência de duas ou mais micções foi superior. Mostrou-se importante a busca ativa de noctúria em mulheres com comorbidades, em especial três ou mais, e a adequada compensação das mesmas no manejo do sintoma.

Abstract Objective To identify the prevalence and factors related to nocturia in women presenting lower urinary tract symptoms. Methods Observational cross-sectional survey, individualized, hospital-based, involving women attended by the Unified Health System in urogynecology outpatient clinics in Niterói and Petrópolis, RJ, Brazil. Sociodemographic, clinical, and lifestyle data were collected. Two outcomes of nocturia were considered: one or more nocturnal voids and two or more nocturnal voids, the latter due to its greater impact on quality of life. Associations between the investigated variables and the outcomes were assessed by logistic regression models, and crude and adjusted odds ratios were obtained. Results A total of 132 participants were included. The prevalence of nocturia was 71.2%, and of two or more voids, 56.8%. Lower education level OR 0,260 (0,106; 0,637), mixed urinary incontinence OR 2,533 (1,103; 5,817), and three or more comorbidities OR 3,105 (1,340; 7,196) were associated with a higher chance of nocturia. Lower education level OR 0,324 (0,148; 0,709), lower caffeine consumption OR 0,995 (0,990; 1,000), and overactive bladder syndrome OR 2,761 (1,189; 6,409) were associated with a higher chance of two or more voids. Conclusions In the population attending specialized services, the prevalence of nocturia was similar to that of the general population and to that of similar services, but the prevalence of two or more voids was higher. Active screening for nocturia in women with comorbidities, especially three or more, and their adequate management, proved to be important in addressing the symptom.

RESUMO

Abstract Introduction: Among geriatric syndromes, cognitive impairment, urinary incontinence, nocturia, and falls stand out. Older adults with urinary incontinence are more prone to falls and exhibit fear of falling. Objective: To investigate the frequency of urinary incontinence and nocturia and evaluate the association of these variables with falls and fear of falling in older individuals with cognitive impairment. Methods: Cross-sectional study with older adults referred from Basic Health Units with cognitive impairment evaluated between 2019 and 2021. Information on urinary incontinence, nocturia, history of falls, and fear of falling provided by the participants and their caregivers was collected. Data were analyzed using Chi-square tests and univariate logistic regressions. Results: Data from 89 older adults were analyzed, of whom 58.4% had urinary incontinence, 28.1% had nocturia, 67.4% reported fear of falling, and 41.6% reported falls in the last six months. The group with urinary incontinence [χ2(1) = 5.147; p = 0.023] and the group with nocturia [χ2(1) = 4.353; p = 0.037] had significantly higher frequencies of fear of falling. No differences in the frequencies of history of falls were observed between individuals with and without urinary incontinence or nocturia (p > 0.05). Fear of falling was associated with urinary incontinence (OR = 2.833; 95% CI 1.137 - 7.062) and nocturia (OR = 3.365; 95% CI 1.033 - 10.966). Conclusion: Older adults with cognitive impairment have a high frequency of urinary incontinence, nocturia, falls, and fear of falling. Furthermore, there is an association between urinary incontinence, nocturia and fear of falling in this population.

Resumo Introdução: Entre as síndromes geriátricas, destacam-se o comprometimento cognitivo, a incontinência urinária, a noctúria e as quedas. Idosos com incontinência urinária são mais propensos a cair e apresentar medo de cair. Objetivo: Investigar a frequência de incontinência urinária e noctúria e avaliar a associação dessas variáveis com a ocorrência de quedas e com o medo de cair em idosos com comprometimento cognitivo. Métodos: Estudo transversal com idosos encaminhados das Unidades Básicas de Saúde com comprometimento cognitivo avaliados entre os anos de 2019 e 2021. Foram coletadas informações sobre incontinência urinária, noctúria, histórico de quedas e medo de cair, fornecidas pelos idosos e seus acompanhantes. Os dados foram analisados por meio dos testes quiquadrado e regressões logísticas univariadas. Resultados: Foram analisados dados de 89 idosos, dos quais 58,4% apresentavam incontinência urinária, 28,1% apresentavam noctúria, 67,4% tinham medo de cair e 41,6% relataram quedas nos últimos seis meses. O grupo com incontinência urinária [2(1) = 5,147; p = 0,023] e o grupo com noctúria [χ2(1) = 4,353; p = 0,037] apresentaram frequências significativamente maiores de medo de cair. Não foram observadas diferenças das frequências de histórico de quedas entre os indivíduos com e sem incontinência ou noctúria (p > 0,05). O medo de cair mostrouse associado à incontinência (OR = 2,833; IC95% 1,137 - 7,062) e à noctúria (OR = 3,365; IC 95% 1,033 - 10,966). Conclusão: Idosos com comprometimento cognitivo apresentam alta frequência de incontinência urinária, noctúria, quedas e medo de cair. Ademais, há associação da incontinência urinária e da noctúria com o medo de cair nessa população.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Depression and anxiety have been associated with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in several studies. In our population, the prevalence of LUTS is high, consequently, it is essential and an objective of this study, to determine the association between anxiety, depression, and LUTS in a large Hispanic population. METHODS: A sub-analysis of a cross-sectional population-based study to estimate LUTS prevalence in the Colombian population was performed (COBaLT study) (Plata et al. in Neurourol Urodyn 38:200-207, 2018). The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to evaluate mental health. Logistic regression was carried out to estimate the association of depression and anxiety with different LUTS. Variables that proved statistically significant (p < 0.05) were included in a multivariate model. RESULTS: A total of 1060 individuals were assessed. The prevalence of anxiety in women and men was 17.1% and 6.7%, respectively. Depression in women and men was 20.1% and 9.4%, respectively. An association was found between anxiety and overactive bladder (OAB) without urinary incontinence (OR = 3.7) and moderate or severe LUTS in men (OR = 3.8). In women, anxiety was associated with nocturia (OR = 4.2) and stress urinary incontinence (OR = 2.4). For depression, an association was found between sexual dysfunction (OR = 4.3) and moderate or severe LUTS (OR = 4.0) in men; while in women it was associated with stress urinary incontinence (OR = 2.3), the sensation of incomplete emptying (OR = 1.7) and decreased frequency of sexual activity (OR = 1.8). CONCLUSIONS: The associations found are consistent with other reports. It is essential to inquire about possible symptoms related to the mental sphere in the urology consultation to make appropriate referrals and subsequent management.

RESUMO

CONTEXT: Heart conditions affect salt and water homeostasis as a consequence of the underlying condition, compensatory processes, and therapy, and can result in nocturnal polyuria. These processes need to be identified as part of a full evaluation of nocturia. OBJECTIVE: To conduct a systematic review of nocturia in cardiovascular disease and achieve expert consensus for primary care management. Primary care was defined as a health care setting in which the expertise did not include specialist cardiology. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: Four databases were searched from January 2000 to April 2020. A total of 3524 titles and abstracts were screened and 27 studies underwent full-text screening. Of these, eight studies were included in the analysis. The nominal group technique (NGT) was used to achieve consensus among an expert panel incorporating public involvement. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: Most studies focused on nocturia related to blood pressure (BP), while one investigated leg oedema. Hypertension, particularly overnight blood pressure above normal, corresponds with higher risk of nocturia. NGT identified fluid and salt overload, nondipping hypertension, and some therapeutic interventions as key nocturia contributors. History taking and examination should identify raised jugular venous pressure/ankle swelling, with relevant investigations including measurement of BP, resting electrocardiogram, and B-type natriuretic peptide. Treatment recommends reducing salt (including substitutes), alcohol and caffeine. Heart failure is managed according to local guidance and controlling fluid intake to 1-2 l daily. If there is no fluid retention, reduce or discontinue diuretics or calcium channel blockers and follow up to reassess the condition. The target clinic blood pressure is 140/90 mm Hg. CONCLUSIONS: Cardiovascular disease and its treatment are influential for understanding nocturia. Management aims to identify and treat heart failure and/or hypertension. PATIENT SUMMARY: People with cardiovascular disease can suffer severe sleep disturbance because of a need to pass urine at night due to increased overnight blood pressure or heart failure. Following a detailed evaluation of the published research, a group of experts recommended practical approaches for assessing and treating these issues.

RESUMO

SUMMARY OBJECTIVES To assess the prevalence of nocturia and identify factors associated with it in a community-dwelling population. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in subjects aged 45 years or more and registered with a Family Doctor Program. Information was collected about nocturia, other urinary symptoms, physical examination, co-morbidities, demographics, socio-economic, and lifestyle factors. Multiple logistics regression models were developed to analyze associated factors for nocturia according to gender and the number of nocturnal micturitions(≥1 and ≥2). RESULTS Out of the 661 individuals included in the study, 62.3% were women. Among the women, the prevalence rates for nocturia ≥1 time and ≥2 times were, respectively, 68.4% and 49%, whereas, among the men, they were 64.3% and 43.8%. Among the women, nocturia ≥1 time was associated with brown skin, a higher BMI, lower schooling, and calcium channel blockers(CCB) use, while nocturia ≥2 times showed association with higher BMI, lower schooling, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and the use of CCB. Among the men, nocturia ≥1 time was associated positively with age, alcohol intake, and OSA, and negatively with angiotensin receptor blockers and beta-blockers use. Besides, nocturia ≥2 times was associated with age, not having health insurance, and OSA. CONCLUSIONS Nocturia is a condition highly prevalent in the studied population. For the female subjects, a higher BMI, lower schooling, and the use of CCB were associated with nocturia regardless of the definition used, whereas, among the men, that same association was found with age, not having health insurance, and OSA.

RESUMO OBJETIVOS Estimar a prevalência de noctúria e identificar fatores demográficos, socioeconômicos, clínicos e de estilo de vida associados ao sintoma em uma população comunitária. MÉTODO Estudo transversal em indivíduos com 45 anos ou mais. Foram obtidas informações demográficas, socioeconômicas, sobre noctúria, outros sintomas urinários, exame físico, comorbidades e estilo de vida. As análises foram feitas separadamente de acordo com o gênero e com o número de micções noturnas (≥1 vez e ≥2 vezes). RESULTADOS Dentre os 661 indivíduos incluídos, 62,3% eram mulheres. Entre elas, a prevalência de noctúria ≥1 vez e ≥2 vezes foi, respectivamente, de 68,4% e 49%, enquanto entre os homens foi de 64,3% e 43,8%. Entre as mulheres, a noctúria ≥1 mostrou associação com cor da pele parda, maior IMC, baixa escolaridade e uso de bloqueadores dos canais de cálcio (BCC), enquanto noctúria ≥2 vezes mostrou associação com maior IMC, baixa escolaridade, apneia obstrutiva do sono (AOS) e uso de BCC. Entre os homens, a noctúria ≥1 vez esteve associada positivamente com idade, ingestão de álcool e AOS, e negativamente com uso de bloqueadores dos receptores da angiotensina e de beta-bloqueadores. Além disso, noctúria ≥2 vezes associou-se a idade, não ter plano de saúde e AOS. CONCLUSÕES A noctúria é uma condição altamente prevalente na população estudada. Para as mulheres, IMC elevado, baixa escolaridade e uso de BCC estiveram associados com noctúria independente da definição, enquanto que, para os homens, a mesma associação foi identificada com idade, não ter plano de saúde e AOS.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Lower urinary tract symptoms significantly worsen quality of life. The hypothesis that they might lead to serious systolic blood pressure alterations through inducing sympathetic nervous activity has not been studied so far. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relationship between benign prostate enlargement-related storage and voiding symptoms and systolic blood pressure. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional single-center study on data from a hospital patient record system. METHODS: We evaluated the medical records of all consecutive patients with benign prostate enlargement-related lower urinary tract symptoms admitted between January 2012 and December 2017. Storage and voiding symptoms were assessed separately. International Prostate Symptom Score, uroflowmetry, postvoiding residual urine volume and systolic blood pressure were recorded. Pearson correlation and linear regression analysis were used. RESULTS: Positive correlations were found between systolic blood pressure and all of the storage symptoms. Among these, urgency had the most significant effect. There were 166 patients (41.4%) with urgency for urination, which increased mean systolic blood pressure from 124.88 mmHg (average value in elevated blood pressure group) to 132.28 mmHg (average value in stage-1 hypertension group). Hesitancy in urinating and feeling of incomplete bladder emptying had weak positive correlations with systolic blood pressure. There was a negative correlation between systolic blood pressure and intermittency of urination. CONCLUSIONS: With increasing numbers of urine storage symptoms, systolic blood pressure also increases, while the opposite occurs for voiding symptoms in patients with benign prostate enlargement. We conjecture that storage symptoms may lead to this increase through inducing sympathetic hyperactivity. Further prospective studies with larger groups are needed to confirm these findings.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective was to check the effects of two nonpharmacological treatments on the sleep quality of women with nocturia. METHODS: A randomized controlled clinical trial in which 40 women with nocturia were randomized into two groups; one was subjected to tibial nerve stimulation (GTNS) and the other received pelvic floor muscle training associated with behavioral therapy (GPFMT). Both groups were followed for 12 weeks, with one session/week; evaluated by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), King's Heath Questionnaire (KHQ), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). The Wilcoxon test was used to compare intra-group data and the Mann-Whitney test for intergroup results. Effect size and confidence interval were calculated, and the level of significance was set at 5%. RESULTS: Both groups showed improvements in quality of sleep, observed by the PSQI total score (GTNS from 9 ± 0.88 to 7 ± 0.94, p = 0.002; GPFMT from 8 ± 0.80 to 5 ± 0.94, p < 0.001) and the sleep/energy domain of the KHQ (GTNS from 66.66 ± 9.03 to 16.66 ± 7.20, p = 0.002; GPFMT from 66.66 ± 9.30 to 0.00 ± 7.26, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Both nonpharmacological treatments proposed (TNS or PFMT) were equally able to improve quality of sleep of women with nocturia.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT Objective The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the presence of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome, nocturia, urgency, and urge incontinence in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), and measure bladder wall thickness (BWT) in these patients. Materials and Methods The patient group was composed of 38 patients with OSAS. The control group was composed of 15 healthy individuals. All patients were evaluated using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS). The bladder wall thickness was measured by transabdominal ultrasound (US). The presence of nocturia, urinary urgency, and urge incontinence were also evaluated. Results The mean OABSS was significantly higher in the patient group compared with the control group (p=0.048). The minimum oxygen saturation (Min.SO2) of patients with urgency was found to be significantly lower (p=0.014). The time spent below 90% of oxygen saturation (SO2) was significantly longer in patients with urinary urgency (p=0.009). There was no difference in BWT measurements between the patient group and the control group. There was a significant relationship between BWT values and OABSS in patients with OSAS (p=0.002). Conclusion The results of the present study suggest that OSAS is associated with OAB syndrome. As a key symptom of OAB, urgency correlates with hypoxia in cases with OSAS. Although the present study did not observe any difference in BWT measurements between the patients and the control group, there was a correlation between BWT measurements and OABSS in patients with OSAS.

RESUMO

Introduction: There are risk factors causing urinary symptoms associated with childbirth. The aim was to investigate the presence of urinary symptoms in postpartum. Methods: Prospective cohort study was undertaken. The women were evaluated three times. The first interview was face-to-face at 2 days after the childbirth. At 2 and 8 weeks after delivery, the patients were interviewed by telephone. Results: 132 women were divided into two groups according to the mode of delivery: VG (vaginal delivery group) and CG (cesarean group). The average age of the women was 25.54 (±5.65) years in VG and 25.23 (±5.26) years in CG (p = 0.869). The most frequent symptom in both groups was nocturia. Conclusion: urinary symptoms tend to worsen throughout the postpartum period, regardless of the mode of delivery.

Introdução: Existem fatores de risco para sintomas urinários, que são associados ao parto. O objetivo deste estudo foi investiga a presença de sintomas urinários no pós-parto. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo de coorte prospectivo. As voluntárias foram avaliadas em três momentos. A primeira entrevista foi face-a-face em dois dias após o parto. Com duas e oito semanas após o parto, as pacientes foram avaliadas por telefone. Resultados: 132 mulheres foram alocadas em dois grupos de acordo com o tipo de parto: VG (parto vaginal) e CG (parto cesáreo). A média de idade das mulheres foi 24.54 (±5.65) anos no VG e 25.23 (±5.26) no CG (p = 0.869). O sintoma mais frequente nos dois grupos foi a noctúria. Conclusão: os sintomas urinários tendem a agravar-se ao longo do período de pós-parto, independente do tipo de parto.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Lower urinary tract symptoms are numerous, but the specific impact of each of these symptoms on the quality of life (QoL) has not been evaluated in community-dwelling men. An assessment of these symptoms and their effects on QoL was the focus of this study. METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional study with 373 men aged >50 years from a community setting. Patients completed the International Prostate Symptom Score questionnaire, which includes questions on each of the specific urinary symptoms and a question addressing health-related QoL that are graded from 0 to 5. We used the Pearson correlation test to assess the impact of each symptom on QoL. RESULTS: Nocturia (58.9%) was the most prevalent urinary symptom. The mean score was 0.9±1.4 for incomplete emptying, 1.0±1.5 for frequency, 0.9±1.3 for intermittency, 0.8±1.3 for urgency, 1.0±1.5 for weak stream, 0.5±1.0 for straining, and 2.0±1.6 for nocturia. Nocturia and frequency were the only symptoms associated with poorer QoL, with nocturia showing a stronger association. CONCLUSIONS: Nocturia affects 50% of community dwelling men aged >50 years, and is the lower urinary tract symptom with the greatest negative impact on QoL.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of nocturia on the therapeutic response of chronic insomnia to behavioral treatment in older adults. METHODS: Secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial designed to assess the efficacy of brief behavioral treatment of insomnia (BBTI) vs. an information-only control (IC) in 79 community-dwelling older adults with chronic insomnia. For the current analysis, participants were stratified into 2 groups: those with self-reported nocturia at baseline i.e., ≥ 1 void/night (N = 30; 16 IC, 14 BBTI) and those without nocturia (N = 49; 24 IC, 25 BBTI). We then determined the impact of BBTI on sleep, sleep quality, and nocturia as assessed by self-report, actigraphy, and polysomnography. RESULTS: Individuals without baseline nocturia responded well to BBTI with significant decrease in sleep latency, wake after sleep onset, and total sleep time assessed by sleep diary and actigraphy; these changes were significantly greater than those in the IC group. In comparison, changes in the same sleep parameters among participants with nocturia were not significantly different from the IC control. Although BBTI showed significant improvement in sleep quality in groups with and without nocturia (as assessed by PSQI and sleep diary), the effect size of these improvements was larger in those without nocturia than in those with nocturia (PSQI d = 0.82 vs. 0.53, diary sleep quality d = 0.83 vs. 0.51). CONCLUSIONS: These secondary analyses suggest that brief behavioral treatment of insomnia may be more efficacious in improving insomnia in participants without nocturia. Addressing nocturia may improve the efficacy of behavioral insomnia treatment.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate associations between excessive daytime sleepiness and nocturia in women. METHOD: A total of 488 women aged 18-89 years who underwent screening for cervical cancer at one institution in Florianópolis, Brazil, took part in this investigation. Sleep issues and daytime sleepiness, urinary frequency, and nutritional status were investigated. RESULTS: The prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness was 31.3%. Most of the women reported having nocturia, since 32.4% reported one nocturnal voiding, and 24.3% two or more nocturnal voidings. Higher nocturnal voiding frequency was identified in women who spent longer in bed (P=0.028) and had worse quality of sleep (P<0.001), higher daytime sleepiness (P=0.016) and excess body weight (P<0.001). A higher prevalence of daytime sleepiness was also observed in those women assumed to have urine leakage (P=0.006). Women with two or more nocturnal voidings presented 1.58 (CI: 1.06-2.37) higher prevalence of daytime sleepiness independent of time in bed (P=0.030). CONCLUSION: Women with at least two nocturnal voidings presented higher prevalence of daytime sleepiness, worse sleep quality, and longer time in bed. Moreover, women with daytime sleepiness presented higher frequency of urine leakage.

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of urinary incontinence and its subtypes stress urinary incontinence, overactive bladder and mixed urinary incontinence, the prevalence of nocturia, and the impact of these conditions on quality of life in an elderly female population attended for vaccination in a Primary Health Care Unit in Niterói city, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Methods: In an observational descriptive study, the Brazilian versions of the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form and of the King's Health Questionnaire were used respectively to do the screening of women with urinary incontinence and to evaluate the impact of urinary incontinence and nocturia on quality of life. Sixty-six women took part in the survey. Results: The average age was 69.6±7.2 years. According to the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form, the prevalence of IU was 42.4%, and 42.9% of elderly incontinent women reported impact of incontinence on their daily activities. The prevalence of stress urinary incontinence, overactive bladder and mixed urinary incontinence was, respectively, 15.2%, 12.1% and 10.6%. Twenty incontinent women agreed to answer the King's Health Questionnaire. Eleven of them (55%) reported complaints of mixed incontinence, and sixteen women (80%) presented nocturia. It was observed impact in quality of life in all domains. Conclusion: It was observed high prevalence of urinary incontinence in the studied population. According to the screening questionnaire, the most prevalent subtype of incontinence was stress urinary incontinence, whilst the use of the quality of life questionnaire showed higher prevalence of mixed incontinence. The frequency of nocturia could be estimated only for those women who answered to the King's Health Questionnaire. There was impact on all domains of quality of life. .

RESUMO

To assess the occurrence and the associated risk factors for nocturia among middle-aged and elderly people from public health centers in southern Taiwan.

Data were part of our previous cross-sectional study which used a self-administered questionnaire for the assessment of lower urinary tract symptoms. A total of 1011 responders who were at least 40 years of age were enrolled from any of four local public health centers for any reason in Pingtung County, Taiwan. Nocturia, as a dependent variable, was defined as two or more episodes per night. Covariables included age, gender, and chronic illnesses (obesity, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke). Multivariate logistic regression was applied to determine the risk factors associated with nocturia. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

About 38.1% (385/1011) of the participants reported having nocturia ≥ 2 episodes/night, and the occurrence of nocturia increased with advanced age. More than half (51.2%, 197/385) participants with nocturia perceived at least “a bit of a problem” on the sleep quality. The multivariate logistical regression showed that the independent risk factors for nocturia were age (OR:1.06, CI:1.05-1.08), hypertension (OR:1.58, CI:1.16-2.16) and diabetes (OR:1.59, CI:1.03-2.45) and obesity (OR:1.47, CI:1.02-2.10), while a borderline effect on nocturia was produced by cardiovascular disease (OR:1.66, CI: 0.98-2.79) and stroke (OR:2.75, CI:0.88-8.64).

Several chronic illnesses coexisted with nocturia. Health care providers need to be aware of an increased risk of nocturia among people with certain chronic illnesses, and provide appropriate health ...

RESUMO

Enurese é definida como qualquer perda urinária durante o sono em crianças maiores de 5 anos, podendo ser classificada em primária e secundária, quanto ao seu início, em monossintomática ou não monossintomática, quanto a sua associação com outros sintomas. A falta de padronização na seleção de pacientes e a influência de fatores geográficos, sociais e culturais prejudicam a exatidão dos dados em relação à prevalência da enurese. Métodos: Estudo descritivo, observacional, do tipo transversal, aplicado em 182 pacientes com suspeita diagnóstica de enurese atendidos pela equipe multiprofissional do Centro Interprofissional de Enurese e Distúrbios das Eliminações, do Hospital Materno Infantil Presidente Vargas, em Porto Alegre. Resultados: Dos pacientes analisados, 37,9% eram do sexo feminino e 62,1% do sexo masculino. Quanto à classificação da enurese, 87,6% apresentavam a forma primária e 12,4% a forma secundária, bem como 15,9% eram monossintomáticos e 84,1% não monossintomáticos. Conclusão: As informações obtidas podem auxiliar na elaboração e implementação de políticas públicas, bem como orientar estratégias de proteção e promoção da saúde.

Enuresis is defined as any urine loss during sleep in children over five years and may be classified into primary and secondary as to its onset, and into monosymptomatic and non-monosymptomatic as to its combination with other symptoms. Lack of standardization in patient selection and influence of geographical, social and cultural factors impair the accuracy of data regarding the prevalence of enuresis. Methods: A descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study of 182 patients with suspected diagnosis of enuresis treated by a multidisciplinary team of the Interprofessional Center for Enuresis and Disorders of Elimination in the Mother-Children Hospital Presidente Vargas in Porto Alegre. Results: Of the patients studied, 37.9% were females and 62.1% males. Concerning the classification of enuresis, 87.6% had the primary form and 12.4% the secondary; 15.9% were monosymptomatic and 84.1% were non-monosymptomatic. Conclusion: The information obtained can help in the preparation and implementation of public policies, as well as suggesting strategies to protect and promote health.

RESUMO

The prevalence of urinary incontinence in the elderly varies from 8 to 34% according to the criteria or method of investigation. The etiology or main associated factors are: aging tissular degeneration that compromise the lower urinary tract and pelvic floor, changes of peripheric and central nervous system, hormonal alterations such as menopause, nocturnal polyuria, benign prostate hyperplasia, concomitant diseases and side effects of medical drugs. The incontinence may be transitory or permanent. Besides a criterious medical history for a better characterization of the urinary loss, a search for associated or concomitant causes and the miccional diary, one oftenly may rely on specialized exams such as urodynamics. A specific diagnosis is of utmost value for correct management that may require only conservative measures based on changes of behaviour or counceiling, drugs prescription, or invasive methods including surgical procedures.

A prevalência da incontinência urinária no idoso varia de 8 a 34% segundo o critério ou método de avaliação. A principais causas são: alterações teciduais da senilidade que comprometem o trato urinário inferior e o assoalho pélvico, do sistema nervoso central e periférico, alterações hormonais como a menopausa, poliúria noturna, alterações psicológicas, hiperplasia prostática benigna, doenças concomitantes e efeitos colaterais de medicamentos. A incontinência pode ser transitória ou permanente. Além da anamnese cuidadosa para caracterização das perdas urinárias, a busca de causas associadas ou concomitantes e o diário miccional, recorre-se com freqüência a exames especializados como a urodinâmica. O diagnóstico preciso é importante para o manejo adequado que pode requerer apenas medidas conservadoras baseadas em orientações e mudanças de hábitos, como o uso de medicamentos, ou então métodos invasivos que incluem procedimentos cirúrgicos específicos.
