Nocturia affects daytime activity and work productivity Productivity, vitality and QoL were assessed in 203 professionally active adults in Sweden with ≥1 void/night Compared with controls, nocturia patients had significantly (p<0.001): Increased work impairment, due to greater impairment while working (not hours missed; assessed using WPAI) Increased impairment in non-work activities (WPAI) Reduced vitality (SF-36) Reduced overall QoL (utility; EQ-5D) Work impairment increased with nocturia severity (p<0.05) Vitality decreased with nocturia severity (p<0.01) WPAI, work productivity and activity impairment questionnaire; SF-36, Short-Form 36; EQ-5D, EuroQol questionnaire Kobelt et al.

What level of severity of nocturia is important? Results from multiple studies of mortality, fractures and QoL all show ≥2 voids/night is a ‘threshold’ for significant negative impact from nocturia One void/night is less likely to have serious consequences If treatment can reduce nocturia frequency to <2 voids/night on average, risks to patients may be significantly reduced

Nocturnal awakening due to nocturia as a cardiovascular stressor Awaking from sleep is associated with increased heart rate and blood pressure (major determinants of cardiac oxygen consumption and vascular stress, endocrine and clotting activation) Contributes to clustering of cardiovascular events during morning hours Nocturia causes additional awakening during the night and is associated with non-dipping hypertension1 12-year survival is 10% lower for CHD patients with nocturia vs without (61% vs 72%, p=0.02)2 No nocturiaNocturia 1.0 0.8 0.6 Survival distribution function 0.4 0.2 0.0 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 Years of follow-up Nocturia 54 50 47 39 33 28 24 No nocturia 65 61 57 53 48 46 43 12-year survival in 70-year-old subjects with ischaemic heart disease for 54 who reported nocturia versus 65 who did not (p=0.0206, log-rank test) 1.

Conclusions Like other asymptomatic conditions (hypertension, type 2 diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia), nocturia is associated with serious consequences for mortality, morbidity and QoL – but is most often considered a ‘lifestyle condition’ and ignored, BUT… Nocturia (≥2 voids) is potentially a harbinger of multiple negative outcomes High risks to patient QoL, functioning, health, possibly mortality Large proportion of men and women are affected by nocturia1,2 Increasing evidence that older andyounger people are:3–6 Widely affected by nocturia Experience major QoL and health impact Public health attention to nocturia, its aetiology and treatment is urgently needed 1.
