Comprehensive Health-Related Quality of Life is Influenced by Nocturia and Sleep Disturbance: Investigation Based on the SF-8

Lower urinary tract symptoms and quality of life in community-dwelling individuals aged 45 years and over. A population-based study

“…Nocturia has a negative impact on the QoL in some populations, while is well tolerated in others (Abdel Rahman & El Gaafary, 2014;Moreira et al, 2013;Oelke, Wiese, & Berges, 2014;Suekane et al, 2016). In the present study, the multivariate analysis showed association of nocturia with worst scores in the General Health, Social Functioning, Bodily Pain, Vitality and Physical Functioning domains.…”

“…The impairment of QoL caused by UI seems to be related to the severity of urine leakage or to its clinical type, and the most affected domains vary depending on the questionnaires used in the studies and on the incontinence type (Asoglu, Selcuk, Cam, Cogendez, & Kareteke, 2014). For nocturia, the impact on QoL varies according to the studied population (Moreira et al, 2013;Suekane et al, 2016).…”

Sleep Disturbance Has a Higher Impact on General and Mental Quality of Life Reduction than Nocturia: Results from the Community Health Survey in Japan

“…Although a negative association between nocturia and QOL has been reported, only few studies have evaluated the impact of nocturia and sleep disturbance on comprehensive QOL using SF-36 [3,[7][8][9][10]. This is the largest study evaluating the association of nocturia and sleep disturbance with QOL.…”

“…Several studies have suggested that sleep disturbances affect mental and physical QOL, and depressive status [4][5][6]. Although there is a close relationship between nocturia, sleep disturbance, and decreased QOL, not many studies have evaluated the influence of nocturia and sleep disturbance on comprehensive QOL [3,[7][8][9][10]. In addition, it remains unclear whether nocturia or sleep disturbance has a worse influence on QOL [7].…”

“…The secondary endpoints included the prevalence of nocturia, sleep disturbance, and the association between nocturia and PSQI and between IPSS/OABSS and QOL reduction. The prevalence of lower urinary symptoms was assessed by the severity points for the IPSS (none, 0; mild, 1-7; moderate or severe,, and the OABSS points (none, 0; mild, 1-5; moderate or severe,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Sleep quality was assessed using the global and component scores of the Japanese version of PSQI[17].…”
