Pediatric urinary disorders manifested as urinary incontinence, compelling urges to urinate, etc. remain an important problem of contemporary healthcare. In spite of being extensively covered in the literature, urinary disorders, including enuresis, still present a diagnostic challenge to the physicians of primary healthcare facilities. Based on the findings of our retrospective study that revealed discrepancies between referral and final diagnoses of pediatric urinary disorders, we give recommendations to both physicians of primary healthcare facilities and their inpatient care colleagues that will help them to arrive at the correct diagnosis of a urinary disorder or concomitant bladder-bowel dysfunction using the proposed diagnostic algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
