“…The mean number of voids of our subjects was 5.9 in 24-h period. Although it seems to be lower than that of other studies reported in the literature, the difference may depend on the fluid intake of subjects [1,4,5]. Additionally, despite voiding ≥8 times in a 24-h period defining "urinary frequency", we found that the upper range of normal for our subjects was ≥10 voids daily.…”

“…Additionally, despite voiding ≥8 times in a 24-h period defining "urinary frequency", we found that the upper range of normal for our subjects was ≥10 voids daily. FitzGerald et al [1] also reported that voiding ≥13 times daily represents the upper range of normal for women in the USA. However, the higher frequency may be due to a higher fluid intake.…”

“…However, other researchers stated the nocturia rate in asymptomatic females to be 7-44% [1,2,12]. Thus, the importance of the bothersomeness of urinary frequency may only be relevant when this symptom has received increased attention, and several studies have attempted to classify nocturia according to urinary diary variables to define the clinical problem of troublesome nocturia.…”

“…The diary characteristics vary in different populations owing to the variation in race, fluid intake habits, and other social or environmental factors [1][2][3][4]. Therefore, different normative values in bladder diary characteristics have been reported in a few studies, but more age-and race-matched data are needed [1][2][3][4][5]. Also, some of these studies did not report fluid intake and gender differences, which may have an effect on diary parameters [3,6].…”

“…The symptom of urinary frequency is usually described as voiding more than 8 times in 24 h [7]. However, more than 13 voids per 24 h were found to represent the upper range in the normal distribution in a 24-h diary study of asymptomatic women [1]. Also, prevalence of nocturia in asymptomatic women was also reported to be within a range from very rare to 44% in different populations [1][2][3].…”

Aim: To conduct an evidence synthesis of normative reference values for bladder function parameters in women. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies reporting bladder function parameters obtained from noninvasive tests in healthy women. Seven databases were searched for relevant studies from inception through December 2018, with manual searching of reference lists. We included English language articles that provided quantitative data on urination frequency, voided and postvoid residual volumes, and uroflowmetry results in women without lower urinary tract symptoms. Study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment were undertaken by at least two independent reviewers. Random-effects meta-analytic models were used to derive study-level pooled mean estimates and 95% confidence intervals. Results: A total of 24 studies (N = 3090 women, age range, 18-91 years) met eligibility criteria. Pooled mean estimates of bladder function parameters were: 6.6 daytime voids (95% confidence interval (95% CI), 6.2, 7.0), 0.4 nighttime voids (95% CI, 0.0, 0.8), 1577 mL for 24-hour voided volume (95% CI 1428,1725); 12 mL for postvoid residual volume (95% CI, 4, 20); and 28 mL/sec for maximum flow rate (95% CI, 27,30). Between-study heterogeneity was high for all outcomes (I 2 = 61.1-99.6%), but insufficient data were available to explore reasons for this high heterogeneity (eg, differences by age). Prevention of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (PLUS) Research ConsortiumConclusion: Although summary mean estimates of bladder function parameters were calculated, the wide heterogeneity across studies precludes generalization of these estimates to all healthy women. Further research is needed to determine normative reference values within specific groups, such as those defined by age.

Prevalence and impact of nocturia in a urogynecologic population

et al. 2007

To determine the prevalence of nocturia and associated bother among patients presenting to a tertiary urogynecology clinic and to describe patient characteristics related to nocturic frequency and associated bother. Chart review of sequential new patients presenting to our clinic between June 2004 and May 2005. We recorded patients' response to a question about their frequency of nocturia, the level of associated bother, demographic data, history of chronic medical illness and clinical urogynecologic diagnosis. Seven hundred sixty patients were of mean age 56 (19-95) years. Eighty-seven percent of patients voided at least once nightly, and 60% usually voided at least twice nightly. Forty one percent of patients reported bother >or=5/10 from nocturia. High bother rating was associated with increasing number of nocturic episodes (p < 0.0005) and mixed incontinence (p = 0.012). Nocturia is common and bothersome to women presenting for urogynecologic care. Concomitant mixed incontinence significantly increases bother arising from nocturia.
