“…Six percent of our patients, aged 5 to 10 years, suffered from enuresis. The prevalence of enuresis in our study was at the lowest end of the range reported in the literature according to age (10-15%) [20,21] . With respect to toilet training, all our patients achieved sphincters' control within 4 years of life, similarly to the normal population [22] .…”

“…NE is a common complaint in children worldwide, often underestimated by parents, with a main impact on child's development. 11,12 NE is de ned as the biological expression of neurophysiological immaturity, supporting by the greater number of neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopment problems observed. 13 Barbour et al supported a "developmental" concept of NE, based on the disappearance of symptoms dependent more upon age than therapeutic intervention.…”

PURPOSE Several studies have recorded an association between nocturnal enuresis (NE) and developmental delays. Language disorders are one of the main comorbidities in enuretic children, affecting therapy outcome and prognosis. METHODS The study was carried out within our pediatric outpatient clinic in Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital Foundation of Rome, enrolling a total of 226 enuretic children, of which 21 with a language disorder. Data concerning NE were collected through questionnaire and interview with parents and a bladder diary. The language disorders was secondary investigated. The chi-squared test was used to evaluate the correlation between therapy outcome and language disorders. RESULTS Our sample was composed of 226 enuretic children, with a mean age of 7.67 years. 217 children were subjected to pharmacological treatments, while 9 children, with mild clinical symptoms, did not take any drugs. It was observed that 49% of enuretic children did not respond to therapy or relapsed, while 51% responded in the first cycle. 21/226 (9%) of enuretic children had a language disorder, of which 15 subjected to pharmacological therapy: 12/15 (80%) did not respond to therapy and 3/15 (20%) responded (p = 0.024). CONCLUSIONS Language disorders could impact NE therapy response, underlying the influence of comorbidities and the importance of a global assessment in enuretic children.

“…Patients with secondary nocturnal enuresis, those on medication, those with daytime symptoms, and those with a systemic disease (diabetes mellitus) were excluded from the study. A questionnaire compiled from other published studies was administered to the parents of the patients . This garnered data on the parents’ education status, family history of enuresis, frequency of enuresis in a week, sleep duration (calculated by subtracting the child’s bedtime and time required to fall asleep from wakeup time), time to fall asleep, presence of snoring, waking up during the night after falling asleep, waking up feeling unrefreshed, presence of EECDs (televisions, computers, tablets, video games, and mobile phones) in the bedroom, frequency of exposure to EECDs in a week, and duration of exposure to EECDs before sleep.…”

Background: Monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE) is a common urological problem. The association between the use of entertainment and communication devices (EECDs) at night and enuresis in MNE patients has yet to be reported in the literature. This study aims to determine if an association exists between the use of EECDs before sleep and nocturnal enuresis. Methods: Patients with MNE who presented to the pediatric nephrology department of the center between January 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019 were included in the study. A questionnaire was administered both to the patients and to an age-and sex-matched control group to garner details of sleeping features and duration of exposure to EECDs before sleep. A comparison was then made of the answers provided by the patient and control groups. Results: The study included 138 patients (65 females; 73 males) and 104 controls (44 females; 60 males). The patients who used EECDs for more than 3 h a day before sleep suffered more frequently from bedwetting than those who used EECDs for fewer than 3 h a day (P = 0.007). The time of exposure to EECDs before sleep in the patient group was longer than in the control group (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The use of EECDs for more than 3 hours before sleep is associated with bedwetting and enuresis frequency in patients with MNE. Patients suffering from MNE should be advised not to use EECDs before sleep.
