Assessment of associated factors with nocturia in young and older urinary incontinent

Abstract

Objective: To assess the factors affecting nocturia in young and older women with urinary incontinence (UI).
Material and Methods: Women who applied to the urology outpatient clinic with the UI complaint between November 2021-March 2022 were included. Demographic data, anthropometric measurements, medications and comorbidities were recorded. The ICIQ-SF test was applied to evaluate their quality of life. Patients who have been waking up at night with the need to urinate ≥2 were considered to have nocturia.
Results: Ninety-two women were included. Two groups were created as patients <60 years (n=47) and ≥60 years (n=45). The body mass index and waist circumference were higher in patients ≥60 years (respectively; p= 0.034, p= <0.001). Using of diuretic and anticholinergic medications was higher than in the younger group (respectively; p= <0.001, p= 0.006). The total number of medications was higher in the older group (p= <0.001). The number of comorbidities and the number of patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) were higher in the older group (respectively; p= 0.002, p= 0.025). No difference was found in the young group with and without nocturia in terms of anthropometric measurements, medications used, and comorbidities. The number of medications and the number of Type 2 DM patients were significantly higher in the older group with nocturia (respectively; p= 0.04, p= 0.036).
Conclusion: Type 2 DM and multiple medication use are risk factors for nocturia in older women with UI. Evaluation and management of these risk factors may contribute to better clinical outcomes.

Üriner inkontinansı olan genç ve yaşlı kadınlarda noktüri ile ilişkili faktörlerin değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Üriner inkontinanslı (Üİ) genç ve yaşlı kadınlarda noktüriyi etkileyen faktörleri değerlendirmek. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kasım 2021-Mart 2022 tarihleri arasında Üİ şikâyeti ile üroloji polikliniğine başvuran kadınlar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Demografik veriler, antropometrik ölçümler, ilaçlar ve komorbiditeler kaydedildi. Yaşam kalitelerini değerlendirmek için ICIQ-SF testi uygulandı. Geceleri ≥2 idrar yapma ihtiyacı ile uyanan hastalarda noktüri var olarak kabul edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 92 kadın dahil edildi. Hastalar <60 yaş (n=47) ve ≥60 yaş (n=45) olarak 2 gruba ayrıldı. Bel çevresi ve vücut kitle indeksi ≥60 yaş hastalarda daha yüksekti (sırasıyla; p= <0,001, p= 0,034). Kullanılan ilaç sayısı yaşlı grupta daha fazlaydı (p= <0,001). Diüretik ve antikolinerjik ilaç kullanımı yaşlı grupta genç gruba göre daha yüksekti (sırasıyla; p= <0,001, p= 0,006). Tip 2 Diabetes Mellitus'lu (DM) hasta sayısı ve komorbidite sayısı yaşlı grupta daha fazlaydı (sırasıyla; p= 0,002, p= 0,025). Noktürisi olan ve olmayan genç grupta antropometrik ölçümler, kullanılan ilaçlar ve komorbiditeler açısından fark bulunmadı. Noktürisi olan yaşlı grupta ilaç sayısı ve Tip 2 DM olan hasta sayısı noktürisi olmayan yaşlı gruba göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (sırasıyla; p= 0.04, p= 0.036). Sonuç: Çalışmamızın sonuçları, klinisyenlerin özellikle Üİ'li yaşlı kadınlarda noktüri riskini azaltmak için kullanılan ilaç sayısını ve Tip 2 DM varlığını değerlendirmesinin önemini vurgulamaktadır.
