• Insomnia
• Nocturia
• Overactive bladder

Background and objectives: In this study the relationship between nocturia and subjective sleep satisfaction (SSS) was analysed, aiming at establishing if nocturia could be used as a relevant predictive parameter for insomnia assessment.
Patients and methods: Epidemiologic and observational study of 1454 patients with overactive bladder. The bivariate association of sleep-, clinical- and personal parameters with SSS, assessed by a specific questionnaire, was analyzed. A multiple regression model was defined for SSS prediction.
Results: Insomnia, hypersomnia, nocturia, Charlson Index, sex and age were associated with SSS in a bivariate analysis. Nocturia, hypersomnia and insomnia severity were independent predictive parameters of SSS and explained 33% of its variance.
Conclusions: Nocturia is an important predictive parameter of SSS.
