To determine if men presenting with nocturia and/or voiding complaints may have undiagnosed symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).

Patients were asked to complete the American Urological Association symptom score and the Berlin sleep questionnaire to evaluate their voiding complaints and sleep quality. We performed univariable and multivariable statistical analyses to identify correlations between a positive Berlin score and voiding symptoms, with an emphasis on nocturia. A total 618 completed questionnaires were included. More than 65% of patients reported nocturia. Of those reporting nocturia, 55% also had a positive Berlin score. The American Urological Association symptom score components of frequency and nocturia, as well as body mass index and hypertension, were shown to be significant independent predictors of a positive Berlin questionnaire, suggesting high likelihood of SDB. Conversely, a positive Berlin questionnaire was a significant independent predictor of nocturia, suggesting high degree of correlation between the 2 conditions. Nocturia and oth...Continue Reading
