Abstract

Introduction
Allergic rhinitis is the most common form of non-infectious rhinitis and is manifested with the symptoms of nasal congestion, sneezing, nasal discharge, and itching. Primary enuresis nocturna is involuntary urination while asleep after five years, at which bladder control usually begins. Our objective was to evaluate the relationship between allergic rhinitis and primary enuresis nocturna in childhood in this research.
Methods:
We included 300 children with allergic rhinitis and 300 control cases between the age of 5 and 17 years. With allergic rhinitis cases, age, gender, body mass index percentile, other allergic disorders, allergic rhinitis diagnosis age, allergic rhinitis severity and distribution, presence of primary enuresis nocturna, and presence of primary enuresis nocturna in the family were recorded. Subjects with disorders causing enuresis were excluded from the study.
Results:
The mean age in the allergic rhinitis and control groups was 9,6±3,4 vs. 10,0±3,1 years, respectively (p=0,15). There was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of gender, age, body mass index percentile, and primary enuresis nocturna presence in the family (p=0.29, p=0.15, p=0.46, p=0.17; respectively). Primary enuresis nocturna was significantly higher in allergic rhinitis cases (p=0.02). Primary enuresis nocturna was significantly higher in boys than in girls (p=0.007). There is a significant difference in age and gender between those with and without primary enuresis nocturna in allergic rhinitis groups (p=0,001, p=0.01, respectively).
Conclusion:
We conclude that as allergic rhinitis increases the incidence of primary enuresis nocturna and worsens the quality of life, its treatment should not be neglected.
