- Abstract
Introduction: Nocturia negatively impacts the quality of life and is associated with poor general health, but our understanding of its etiologies is incomplete. Urodynamic studies (UDS) findings in patients with nocturia are not well described and may help guide management. Our objective was to compare UDS findings with age‐matched patients with and without nocturia. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed UDS findings of 1124 patients (2010–2017). A total of 484 (43%) presented with nocturia and 821 (73%) were female. Female patients were separated into age‐matched groups with and without nocturia. Urinary symptoms, past medical diagnoses, demographic information, and UDS findings were compared. Results: A total of 596 female patients were included, 298 (50%) with nocturia and 298 without. Past medical history, including diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, did not differ between groups. Patients with nocturia were more likely to have pelvic pain (p = 0.0014) and other daytime symptoms (frequency, urgency, and urgency incontinence). On UDS, patients with nocturia were more likely to have bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) (p = 0.025) and dysfunctional voiding (DV) (p < 0.0001). There was no difference in the frequency of detrusor overactivity (DO). Bladder capacity and postvoid residual volumes were lower, though not significantly, in the nocturia group. Conclusions: When comparing UDS findings in contemporary, age‐matched groups of female patients with and without nocturia, we found only BOO and DV to be associated with nocturia. While the treatment of nocturia is often aimed at managing DO, our data suggest that this may not be the primary urodynamic correlation with nocturia. Further studies are needed to assess whether successful treatment of BOO and DV can improve nocturia.
