PG - 119-22 LID - 10.1111/j.1757-5672.2010.00073.x [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the association of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and sleep disorders (SD) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We also examined improvement of SD following the alpha1-blocker therapy for LUTS. METHODS: Sixty-eight male patients were enrolled in the study, consisting of 38 cases with LUTS and BPH (BPH group), and 30 men without significant LUTS or BPH (non-BPH group). The degree of LUTS and SD was evaluated by the International Prostate Symptom Score and the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), respectively. The patients of BPH group then were treated with alpha1-blocker for 4 weeks, and were re-examined by all the questionnaires to evaluate the therapeutic efficacies. RESULTS: The correlation analyses showed a significant association of LUTS with SD in BPH group (r = 0.4995, P = 0.0068). Twenty cases (52.6%) in BPH group showed 5.5 or more PSQI scores. Following 4 weeks of alpha1-blocker administration, the average PSQI decreased significantly from 6.3 to 4.8 points (P < 0.001). Significant improvement was observed in domains of "sleep quality" and "sleep disturbances" among PSQI (P = 0.0215 and 0.0391, respectively). Moreover, significant association between alpha1-blocker induced improvements of nocturia and SD was identified in patients with 5.5 or more PSQI score at baseline (r = 0.445, P = 0.0334). CONCLUSION: These results suggested that SD is associated with LUTS among BPH patients and therapeutic effects of alpha1-blockers on LUTS lead to improvements of SD.
