Predictors and Outcomes of Childhood Primary Enuresis

Abstract: Objective Although enuresis is relatively common in early childhood, research exploring its antecedents and implications is surprisingly limited, perhaps because the condition typically remits in middle childhood. Method We examined the prevalence, predictors, prognostic factors, and outcomes of primary enuresis in a large (N = 559) multi-method, multi-informant prospective study with a community-based sample of children followed from age 3 to age 9. Results We found that 12.7% of our sample met criteria f… Show more

“…There was also evidence for an association between antenatal depression (at 18 weeks) and persistent wetting. Earlier studies have reported a link between maternal psychopathology and bedwetting, but they did not distinguish between bedwetting with or without daytime wetting [10, 33]. One study examined only parental lifetime psychopathology and did not separately examine maternal psychopathology or the timing of the disorder (antenatal or postnatal) [10].…”

“…The aetiology of UI is believed to be multifactorial, involving a complex interrelationship of biological, genetic and psychosocial factors. Factors associated with childhood UI include family history [25], developmental and obstetric factors [27], behaviour/emotional problems [8–10], stress [11, 12], maternal psychopathology [10], toilet training [1316] and constipation [1719]. Prospective cohort studies focus either on bedwetting [2, 2022] or daytime wetting [23].…”

“…The explorative factor analyses of the Intensity Scale also supported the idea of removing these two items from the instrument, since they had low communalities with other items and thus were removed from the analyses. Moreover, in a recent prospective study among a community sample of 3–9‐year old children, enuresis was not associated with oppositional defiant disorder (although it was associated with ADHD), instead internalizing psychopathology had a prominent role in preceding, and succeeding the development of enuresis (Kessel, Allman, Goldstain et al ., ). In light of the current evidence, evidence for association of enuresis with conduct problems is weak, and parents of children who wet the bed benefit from understanding that enuresis is a commonly occurring childhood disorder with multifactorial etiology and a tendency to remit once the child gets older.…”
