Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of nocturnal enuresis and its association with sociodemographic factors in 6- to 14-year-old children in the central district of Bursa, located in western Turkey. Methods: A cross sectional epidemiological study was performed among the 125,843 primary schoolchildren. In total, 3270 students aged 6-14 years participated (response rate 98.0%). Data were collected via a questionnaire completed by parents. The relationships between the prevalence of enuresis and various sociodemographic variables were assessed. Results: The overall prevalence of nocturnal enuresis was 23.5%, and the prevalence of the condition was higher in males than in females (52.5% vs. 47.5%). Of the students positive for nocturnal enuresis, 59.1% had primary and 41.9% had secondary enuresis. Male gender, history of enuresis, deep sleep, and constipation were significantly associated with enuresis. Conclusions: The prevalence of nocturnal enuresis may be higher than in previous studies in Turkey, a finding that may be due to the relatively low socioeconomic status of the families in this study.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Bursa ili merkezinde yaşayan 6-14 yaş aralığındaki çocukların noktürnal enürezis prevalansını ve sosyodemografik faktörlerle ilişkisini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bursa il merkezinde 125 843 ilkokul çocuğunda kesitsel epidemiyolojik araştırma gerçekleştirildi. Çalışmaya altı ondört yaş aralığında toplam 3270 çocuk katıldı (yanıt oranı % 98.0). Anne babalar tarafından cevaplanan anket formları değerlendirilerek enüresis prevalansı ve sosyodemografik özellikler arasındaki ilişki incelendi. Bulgular: Tüm çocukların %23.5’inde enürezis nokturna tespit edildi. Erkek çocuklarda prevalans kız çocuklarından daha yüksek (52.5% vs. 47.5%) bulundu. Saptanan enurezis vakalarının %59.1\'u primer, % 41.9’u ise sekonder enürezis olup; cinsiyet, aile öyküsü, derin uyku ve kabızlık ile enürezis arasında anlamlı bağlantı bulundu. Sonuç: Noktürnal enurezis prevalansı bu çalışmadaki ailelerin düşük sosyoekonomik durumuna bağlı olarak; Türkiyede daha önce yapılan çalışmalardan daha yüksek bulunmuştur.
