Objective: To describe voiding patterns and related dysfunctions in a population-based sample of children aged 3 to 9 years. Methods:A cross-sectional population-based survey including 580 children. A probabilistic sample of households in the urban area of Pelotas in southern Brazil was selected following a multiple-stage protocol. Voiding and fecal patterns were investigated using the dysfunction score created by Farhat et al. and modified by the addition of high urinary frequency (more than eight times a day). Boys with scores above eight and girls above five were clinically investigated, as well as a sub-sample of the remaining children.Results: Nocturia (60.4%), urinary urgency (49.7%) and holding maneuvers (42.1%) were the most frequently reported symptoms. The prevalence of enuresis was 20.1% in boys and 15.1% in girls. The prevalence of urinary dysfunction was 22.8%. Most symptoms were more frequently reported by girls and younger children. Among girls, low socioeconomic level was related to an increased prevalence of enuresis and straining to urinate, while among boys urgency was more common among the poor. Only 10.5% of the parents of the children with voiding dysfunction consulted a doctor because of their problems. Conclusions:The voiding symptoms studied presented high prevalence rates, and therefore should be investigated in clinical practice, with direct questions about each symptom, aiming to diagnose voiding dysfunction.

“…Farhat et al (6) described validated symptom scoring for wetting and functional disorders in children called the dysfunctional voiding symptom score (DVSS). The DVSS includes 10 quantitative and qualitative urological variables assessed by age-appropriate questions for children, and has been used as an objective instrument to grade voiding dysfunction in children (Appendix-1).…”

Purpose: To translate and culturally adapt the Dysfunctional Voiding Symptom Score (DVSS), questionnaire into Brazilian Portuguese. Materials and Methods:The 10-item Dysfunctional Voiding Symptom Score (DVSS) was translated into Brazilian Portuguese according to a standard methodology: translation, synthesis, back-translation, Expert Committee, and pre-testing. After the translation process the final version was pre-tested and patient responses were analyzed to identify necessary modifications. Reliability was evaluated using the test-retest method, and internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Results: The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated in the test and retest phases. Internal consistency was found to be satisfactory, as confirmed by a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.76 for the test and 0.77 for the retest. A high degree of stability was found in the test/retest, with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.960 (p < 0.001; 95% CI: 0.943-0.972). Conclusions: The cross-cultural adaptation process of the Dysfunctional Voiding Symptom Score questionnaire to be used on Brazilian children was successfully completed following internationally accepted methodologies.

“…9 Constipation was defined as clinical history of difficult, incomplete or infrequent evacuations (less than 1 bowel movement daily). Since voiding function is difficult to evaluate in patients not yet toilet trained, BBD was limited to the presence of constipation in this population.…”
