Prevalence of nocturia after brain injury: a cross-sectional study in a single rehabilitation center
2020
Aim: to analyze the prevalence of nocturia and its possible neuro-urological correlations in patients with a history of acquired brain injury (ABI).Methods: a single-centre population-based prospective study involving outpatients who were previously admitted to our Rehabilitation Hospital for acute ABI ≥ 18 months and ≤2 years prior. Impact of nocturia on QoL was evaluated by the standardized International Consultation on Incotinence Nocturia Quality of Life (ICIQ N-QoL). All participants were given a three-day frequency chart. Probability value 26. Increased diurnal frequency and small bladder capacity was statistically significantly associated with nocturia (p < .05).Conclusions: the rate of nocturia 2 years following ABI was lower compared to other neurological populations, although it was significantly associated with other storage urinary symptoms.
