“…In our study, the response rate was 67.5%, which was significantly lower than that in studies by Yüksel The overall frequency of VD was 6.6% in primary school children, compared with 9.3% in the study by Yüksel et al (15), which was the first reported study evaluating VD with the DVSS questionnaire in an epidemiologic setting in an Anatolian city. Vaz et al (17) reported a frequency of 21.8% for VD with a modified DVSS questionnaire in 739 healthy school-age Brazilian children.…”

Karaman il merkezindeki ilkokul çağı çocuklarındaki işeme bozukluğu (İB) prevalansının çocukluk çağı İB'leri Semptom Skoru (İBSS) sorgulama formu ile incelenmesi ve nokturnal enürezisin (NE) belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: İBSS formu, 21 farklı okuldan basit örnekleme ile belirlenmiş 3015 ilkokul çağı çocuğun ebeveynleri tarafından dolduruldu. İBSS 9 ve üzeri İB varlığı olarak temel alındı. Ayrı bir anket formu ile çocukların NE'si, kapsamlı demografik durumları, öğrenme ve davranış bozuklukları sorgulandı. Objective: To investigate the prevalence of voiding dysfunction (VD) and nocturnal enuresis (NE) in Turkish primary school children using a previously validated Dysfunctional Voiding Scoring System (DVSS) questionnaire and a self-administered questionnaire. Materials and Methods: The previously validated DVSS questionnaire was completed by the parents of 3015 randomly selected children. Another questionnaire was also administered for studying VD and NE rates, demographic characteristics, and learning or behavioral problems of children. Results: Of all children, 6.6% (n=199) had a score suggesting VD and 6.1% (n=185) had NE. No significant differences were found between children with and without VD in terms of age, gender, and fluid intake. Children with VD had significantly high rates of constipation (19.7% vs 5.2%; p<0.001) and fecal soiling (32.1% vs 5.1%; p<0.01) compared with children without VD. Children with a higher DVSS score had more frequent behavioral or psychological problems (20.7% vs 4.7%; p<0.01) and learning disabilities (14.7% vs 5.5%; p<0.01). VD had no correlation with overall maternal education level and the type of school (government or private). Conclusion: VD and NE are highly frequent in early childhood and positively correlated with children's learning disabilities and psychological problems.

“…2,17 Recently a few paediatric studies using the ICCS definitions have reported LUTS prevalence in children varying from 9.3% to 46.4%. [7][8][9] The wide variation in prevalence can be attributed to the differences in the study population, questions used to assess LUTS, and the criteria to define the presence of symptoms. Vaz et al 8 reported a prevalence of 21.8% in 739 Brazilian children aged 6 to 12 years while Yüksel et al 7 found 9.3% of Abbreviation: LUTS = lower urinary tract symptoms * Subgroups n might or might not equal to total n due to missing values † Due to printing error, only 4452 of the 11 938 eligible questionnaires included the question on daytime urinary incontinence rate in the Korean study can be partly explained by their methodology wherein the responses to the LUTS questions were dichotomised into "yes" or…”

“…In children, the prevalence of LUTS peaks at age 5 to 7 years and then declines with increasing age up to 13 to 14 years. [7][8][9][10]20 The decline in prevalence has been attributed to the maturation of urinary bladder function along with the growth and development of children. Our study is the first to provide evidence that LUTS prevalence rises from the trough at the onset of adolescence and continues to increase throughout adolescence into adulthood.…”

“…5 Previous studies of the prevalence of individual LUTS using the International Children's Continence Society (ICCS) definitions 6 have focused primarily on pre-adolescent children in primary schools. [7][8][9][10] To date, no large-scale studies have investigated the prevalence of LUTSs in adolescents. Psychotropic substance use among adolescents is a growing concern worldwide and creates psychosocial, security, and health care issues.…”

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms in adolescents and the effects of psychotropic substance use. Methods:This was a population-based crosssectional survey using a validated questionnaire in students from 45 secondary schools in Hong Kong randomly selected over the period of January 2012 to January 2014. A total of 11 938 secondary school students (response rate, 74.6%) completed and returned a questionnaire that was eligible for analysis. Individual lower urinary tract symptoms and history of psychotropic substance abuse were documented.Results: In this study, 11 617 non-substance abusers were regarded as control subjects and 321 (2.7%) were psychotropic substance users. Among the control subjects, 2106 (18.5%) had experienced at least one lower urinary tract symptom with urinary frequency being the most prevalent symptom (10.2%). Females had more daytime urinary incontinence (P<0.001) and males had more voiding symptoms (P=0.01). Prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms increased with age from 13.9% to 25.8% towards young adulthood and age of ≥18 years (P<0.001). Among the substance users, ketamine was most commonly abused. Substance users had significantly more lower urinary tract symptoms than control subjects (P<0.001). In multivariate analysis, increasing age and psychotropic substance population have incurred significant costs to the health care system. In children, the association of LUTS with urinary tract infection, persistent vesicoureteric reflux, renal scarring, and constipation have drawn substantial attention over the years. 3,4 Among various LUTSs, urinary incontinence (UI) has been most extensively investigated in children with the reported prevalence varying from 1.8% to ORIGINAL ARTICLE abuse increased the odds for lower urinary tract symptoms. Non-ketamine substance users and ketamine users were respectively 2.8-fold (95% confidence interval, 2.0-3.9) and 6.2-fold (4.1-9.1) more likely than control subjects to develop lower urinary tract symptoms. Females (odds ratio=9.9; 95% confidence interval, 5.4-18.2) were more likely to develop lower urinary tract symptoms than males (4.2; 2.5-7.1) when ketamine was abused. Conclusions:Lower urinary tract symptoms are prevalent in the general adolescent population. It is important to obtain an accurate history regarding psychotropic substance use when treating teenagers with lower urinary tract symptoms.
