Sažetak
Introduction/Objectives: Patients with obesity may have lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) (1). Little is known about these symptoms in patients with obesity in Croatia. The aim of the study was to asses LUTS in patients with obesity in Croatia. Participants, Materials/Methods: This was a prospective study carried out in tertiary healthcare centre. 111 participants (81 women (72.97%), 30 men (27.03%), mean age 49.03 ± 12.21 years were included. Following questionnaires, were used to assess LUTS: ICIQ-OAB (currently under validation for Croatian language) and recently validated for Croatian language ICIQ-UI (1). Results: On ICIQ OAB patients reported following symptoms: 34.23% (N=38) increased frequency of urination (38.27% (N=31) women, 23.33% (N=7) men), 42.34%(N=47) nocturia (48.15% (N=39) women, 26.67% (N=8) men), 25.23% (N=28) urgency (28.4% (N=23) women, 16.67% (N=5) men) and 46.85%(N=52) urgency urinary incontinence (51.85% (N=42) women, 33.33% (N=10) men). On ICIQ-UI patients reported following symptoms: 43.06% (N=31, 51.92% (N=27) women, 20% (N=4) men) urgency urinary incontinence, 44.44% (N=32, 61.54% (N=32) women, 0 men) urinary incontinence when coughing and sneezing, 2.78% (N=2, 3.85% (N=2) women, 0 men) urinary incontinence when sleeping, 22.22% (N=16, 28.85% (N=15) women, 5% (N=1) men) urinary incontinence during exercise/physical activity, 18.06% (N=13, 17.31% (N=9) women, 20% (N=4) men) urinary leakage after having urinated and getting dressed, 6.94% (N=5, 7.69% (N=4) women, 5% (N=1) men) urinary leakage for no obvious reasons. Women were found to be more significantly affected by increased incidence of urinary frequency and mixed urinary incontinence than men (p<0.05). Significant correlations (p=0.001) in the overall results on the ICIQ OAB were found with the following variables: mobility r = 0.29 , self- care r = 0.28, pain/uneasiness r = 0.27, sleep disturbances r = 0.34, spinal injuries r = 0.25. Significant correlations were found among other between nocturia and the following variables: age r = 0.28(p=0.001), tea r = 0.21(p=0.03), mobility r = 0.22(p=0.02), self-care r =0.23(p=0.01), pain/uneasiness r = 0.3(p=0.001), anxiety/melancholy r = 0.19(p=0.05), sleep disturbances r = 0.34(p=0.001). Conclusions: According to our preliminary results in patients with obesity, women were found to be more significantly affected by increased incidence of urinary frequency and mixed urinary incontinence than men. In the future our study will be oriented on causal connection in greater patient number.
