The Impact of Nocturia on Mortality: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: Nocturia (waking from sleep at night to void) is a common cause of sleep disruption associated with increased comorbidity and impaired quality of life. However, its impact on mortality remains unclear. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the association of nocturia with mortality as a prognostic factor and a causal risk factor.

The Impact of Nocturia on Falls and Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: Although nocturia is associated with various comorbidities, its impact on falls and fractures remains unclear. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the association between nocturia and falls and fractures as a prognostic and as a causal risk factor.

Materials And Methods: We searched PubMed®, Scopus®, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) and abstracts of major urological meetings up to December 31, 2018.

Incidence and Remission of Nocturia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Context: Although vital for decision-making about management, the natural history of nocturia remains uncertain. A systematic review would clarify the issue, but because natural history reviews are uncommon it would require methodological innovations.

Objective: To estimate the incidence and remission of nocturia, and refine methods for meta-analyses assessing natural history.

Prostate Biopsy Core Handling: Comparison of Contemporary Preembedding Methods.

Introduction: The probability of prostate cancer detection is related to the amount of tissue represented. For optimal tissue representation, the specimens should preserve their regular cylindrical shape and avoid artefacts and deformation caused by fixation and preembedding. The aim of our study was to compare contemporary preembedding methods including a new method of using thick cardboard.
