Prevalence of enuresis and urinary symptoms at age 7 years in the 2004 birth cohort from Pelotas, Brazil

Abstract

Enuresis is a prevalent condition and should be investigated in clinical practice, especially in children of lower socioeconomic status. A detailed history of urinary habits detects associated urinary symptoms, which is important for adequate classification of enuresis and subsequent management.

Symptoms of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Nasal Obstruction, and Enuresis in Children With Nonsyndromic Cleft Lip and Palate: A Prevalence Study

“…The association with lower urinary tract dysfunction was detected in 17% of the total sample. Among the children with enuresis, the majority presented polysymptomatic enuresis (72%), as also observed by Mota et al (2005), Fonseca et al (2009), and Mota et al (2015).…”

“…The 3 main physiopathological mechanisms involved are nocturnal polyuria (Abdel Fatah et al, 2009), vesical hyperactivity (Yeung et al, 2002), and difficulty to awake during sleep (Cohen-Zrubavel et al, 2011). Above 5 years, the prevalence of enuresis ranges from 5% to 26%, according to Yeung et al (2006); Butler and Heron (2008); Aloni et al (2012); Fockema et al (2012); Mota et al (2015), among others. Evidence suggests association between primary monosymptomatic enuresis and OSAHS (NevHSsistion between primary monosymptomatic es of invpdevila et al, 2008;Dhondt et al, 2009;Bascom et al, 2011;Esposito et al, 2013).…”

Experiências vividas por famílias e crianças com sintomas urinários e intestinais: revisão sistemática de métodos mistos

“…30,32 Considering the perspective of family members, it was evidenced that the experience with the child's urinary and/or intestinal symptoms generated feelings such as nervousness, fear, shame, stress and worry. This finding corroborates what was mentioned in the study by Mota et al, 33 where the author points out that the family reports a feeling of concern regarding their child's urinary symptom. In this review, the feeling of anxiety was experienced by the child, but Tanriverdi et al 34 demonstrated that parents also experience anxiety in the face of the child's urinary symptom.…”

Medical comorbidity of nocturnal enuresis in children

“…0%). [1819] Constipation is more frequent in MNE children (88.8%) than non-enuretic children (8.9%).…”

“…Children with encopresis and functional constipation have a significant incidence of such urinary disorders as NE, infection, vesicoureteral reflux, and hydronephrosis. [11819] Constipation was defined as less than three bowel movements per week for a period of at least 6 months. In this study, 7% of children with enuresis and 1.5% of the control group had constipation, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant.…”
