“…Most studies on the relationship between enuresis and ADHD recruited subjects from a population of children with ADHD (Table 3). Although the use of DSM criteria is reported in these studies, the description of instruments and informants was not mentioned [4,27].…”

Behavioural problems and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in children with enuresis: a literature review

Nearly all studies on the co-morbidity between enuresis and psychopathology in children suggest an increased prevalence of behavioural disorders in general and of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in particular. Depending strongly on characteristics of the study design, the extent to which this prevalence is increased fluctuates heavily. In the current literature review we found a lack of standardization in the definitions of both enuresis and psychopathology, which makes comparison of research findings difficult. A series of confounding factors that possibly bias study results is also covered. Psychopathology in enuresis seems to be associated with older age, male gender, low socio-economic status and admission to specialized (university) paediatric clinics. Research that fails to report or to control for these factors will not be able to make generalizations to the total population of enuretic children. It is highly important for paediatricians to be aware of the effect of these methodological factors in order to read critically and appreciate the co-morbidity studies on the one hand and to understand better the association between enuresis and psychopathology on the other hand. Future research would benefit from diagnoses based on international diagnostic classification systems made within a well-defined sample.

“…An article in Southern Medical Journal published in 1997 compared a fairly large group of 6-year-old children with ADHD to a non-ADHD controlled group selected from a pediatric clinic population. That study found 6 year olds with ADHD had 2.7 times higher incidence of enuresis (Robson 1997). Sometimes enuresis may be more upsetting for children with ADHD.…”

“…According to different diagnostic criteria, the frequency varies from 9 % to 28 % of MNE. Conversely, since 1997, in patients consulting for ADHD, according to the old urinary classification, 21 % suffer from MNE and 6.5 % from LUTD [108]. A recent publication (with recent definitions but with few patients) studied the event-related potentials in response to 160 negative, neutral, or positive pictures.…”
