The Association of Nocturia and Major Cardiovascular Events: A Bayesian Analysis.
Journal Article Urogynecology (Philadelphia, Pa.) · March 2026 Mixed evidence suggests that nocturia may be related to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Our objective was to estimate the association between nocturia, quantified on bladder diaries, and MACE. From 2021 to 2024, the Symptoms of Lower Urinary T ...
