“…Boys were reported by 10 studies to have higher prevalence rate than girls [6,[9][10][11][12]15,16,[19][20][21], equal rates in both sexes was reported by one study [13] and one study reported a higher rate in females [17]. These findings are similar to those reported in normal children with NE [28,[30][31][32][33][34][35]. According to Bottomley et al [36] NE in normal children is twice more common in boys than girls up to the age of nine years, but thereafter there is no gender difference in prevalence [36].…”

Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) have a tendency to have nocturnal enuresis (NE) more than normal children with males being more affected than females. Mechanisms of NE that operate in normal children probably do so in children with SCA. Postulated causes of nocturnal enuresis in individuals with SCA include hyposthenuria causing nocturnal polyuria, reduced bladder capacity or nocturnal bladder overactivity, sleep disordered breathing and an increased arousal thresholds. The variation in the reported prevalence rate of NE in SCA is probably due to differences in definition criteria and methodology. This review will discuss the prevalence rate and postulated causes of NE in children with SCA.

“…It is possible that factors such as psychosocial and environmental conditions or traditional and cultural background may be important in the prevalence of NE [10] . In former studies on schoolchildren, the prevalence of NE in Anatolia was reported to be 11.5-13.7% [2,9,17,20,21] . In this study, the prevalence of NE (9.8%) was found to be lower than those.…”

Personal Characteristics of Enuretic Children: An Epidemiological Study from South-East Europe

et al. 2008

Introduction: This study examined the personal characteristics of enuretic children and investigated the risk factors of nocturnal enuresis among schoolchildren. Methods: It was a cross-sectional and descriptive questionnaire study and 2,000 children were stratified according to school population, age and gender. The questionnaire was designed for parents to collect information about the prevalence and associated factors as well. Results: Nocturnal enuresis was reported in 159 cases (9.8%). The parameters of bladder control after 2 years of age, urination more than 5 times a day, urinary infection history, history of psychological or physical trauma, siblings with health problems, large family size, lack of a private bedroom, and constipation were more frequent in enuretics (p < 0.05). The parameters of having fecal incontinence, parents and siblings with nocturnal enuresis, low educational level of the mother and poor school performance seem to be risk factors for nocturnal enuresis. However, the parental concern level was high, approximately half of the enuretic children did not visit a physician for management of the problem. Conclusion: Nocturnal enuresis could be a multifactorial problem originating from bladder dysfunction, deranged sleep patterns and psychological and hereditary predisposition. Hereditary disposition and having fecal incontinence may be important risk factors for enuresis.

“…While the prevalence is 10-15% at the age of 5-7 years, it decreases to approximately 0.5-2.2% at the age of 15 years and older by showing spontaneous recovery each year with a rate of approximatley 15% (4)(5)(6). In the studies performed in our country, the prevalence has been reported to be 11.5-12.4% between the ages of 6 and 16 (7,8).…”

Review Sum maryNocturnal enuresis is one of the most common urinary problems in children and is observed in about 15-20 percent of children aged 5 years. Nocturnal enuresis resolves at a rate of 15% per year, so 99% of children are dry by the age of fifteen years. Enuresis can be defined as repetitive bed wetting while sleeping. Enuresis in children without any other lower urinary tract (LUT) symptoms -excluding nocturia-and without a history of bladder dysfunction is defined as monosymptomatic enuresis. Most of the enuretic children belong to this group. A bladder dysfunction must be kept in mind in an enuretic child having day time symptoms. Behavioral treatment, alarm treatment and pharmacological treatment are the most frequently used approaches for treatment. In all treatment modalities and especially in alarm treatment, the motivation and active involvement of the family and the child are very important. (Turk Arch Ped 2012; 47: 80-5)
