Description

• Nocturia, defined as waking up during the night to void, is a prevalent condition affecting a considerable proportion of the population.
• Many studies have demonstrated that nocturia is associated with poor quality of life and numerous adverse health outcomes 1,2,3,4.
• Patients with nocturia are estimated to have 60% greater hospitalization rates and 19% higher rates of outpatient visits, equating to an annual economic cost of $3,491 per patient 5.
• Although pre-existing studies have not consistently aligned on the association between nocturia and specific comorbidities, the overall agreement on the negative health outcomes and economic strain caused by untreated nocturia remains significant.
