Nocturic episodes in patients with benign prostatic enlargement may suggest the presence of obstructive sleep apnea.

Background: Nocturia is a common symptom of benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) that is generally attributed to a urologic pathology. This study assessed whether nocturia severity in BPE patients may be related to an underlying sleep disorder.

Methods: Cross-sectional study based in urban community primary care clinics.
