“…Kajiwara et al [12] showed in their survey that children with DUI voided significantly more often than did children without DUI and frequent voiding was found in 26.8% of children with DUI. However, Hansen et al [23] did not find any correlation between frequency and daytime and nighttime wetting. However, the same study revealed that micturition symptoms (does not reach toilet, hurry to toilet, prolonged voiding, poor stream, staccato urine flow, able to void again immediately, and straining) in children with daytime wetting differed significantly from the symptoms of continent children.…”

PurposeUrinary incontinence is one of the major urinary symptoms in children and adolescents and can lead to major distress for the affected children and their parents. In accordance with the definitions of the Standardization Committee of the International Children's Continence Society, daytime urinary incontinence (DUI) is uncontrollable leakage of urine during the day. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the prevalence and associated risk factors of DUI in Turkish primary school children.Materials and MethodsThe questionnaire, which covered sociodemographic variables and the voiding habits of the children, was completed by the parents of 2,353 children who were attending primary school in Denizli, a developing city of Turkey. The children's voiding habits were evaluated by use of the Dysfunctional Voiding and Incontinence Symptoms Score, which is a validated questionnaire. Children with a history of neurological or urological diseases were excluded.ResultsThe participation rate was 91.9% (2,164 people). The overall prevalence of DUI was 8.0%. The incidence of DUI tended to decrease with increasing age and was not significantly different between genders (boys, 8.8%; girls, 7.3%; p=0.062). Age, maternal education level, family history of daytime wetting, settlement (urban/rural), history of constipation, urinary tract infection, and urgency were independent risk factors of DUI.ConclusionsOur findings showed that DUI is a common health problem in primary school children. In an effort to increase awareness of children's voiding problems and the risk factors for urinary dysfunction in the population, educational programs and larger school-based screening should be carried out, especially in regions with low socioeconomic status.

ObjectiveThere are no published prevalence estimates of elimination disorders and their association with disruptive-behavior disorders among children in the Asian region using standardized diagnostic interviews. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of elimination disorders and its association with disruptive-behavior disorders in a representative sample of children in Seoul, Korea.MethodsThe diagnosis of enuresis and encopresis was derived from parent-reported data for "enuresis and encopresis," collected using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children, from a representative sample of 6- to 12-year-old children (n=1,645) who participated in the 2005 Seoul Child and Adolescent Mental Health Survey. Prevalence data for attention deficit and disruptive-behavior disorders were collected from the same sample.ResultsThe overall 12-month prevalence of nocturnal enuresis and encopresis was 1.8% and 0.6%, respectively. Enuresis and encopresis prevalence in boys was significantly greater than that in girls. Enuresis and encopresis was most common at 7 to 9 years of age. Enuresis was significantly associated with ADHD (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.0-6.9) and conduct disorder (CD; OR 4.7, 95% CI 1.0-22.4).ConclusionEnuresis is significantly associated with ADHD and CD, so these conditions must be assessed together during the evaluation of children with enuresis.

“…1 The prevalence of daytime wetting in children aged 7 years has been found to be ϳ2% to 3% of boys and 3% to 4% of girls. [2][3][4] The vast majority of cases can be considered to represent a functional type of urinary incontinence. Only a small minority wet during the day because of neurogenic, structural, or other pediatric causes.…”

Psychological Problems in Children With Daytime Wetting

2006

The increased vulnerability to psychological problems in children as young as 7 years of age with daytime wetting highlights the importance of parents seeking early intervention for the condition to help prevent later psychological problems. Although treatment in a pediatric setting is often successful, clinicians should be aware of the increased risk of disorders, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, in children with daytime wetting, because this is likely to interfere with treatment.
