Factors Affecting the Age of Application in Children with Enuresis Nocturnal: A Multicentric Study from the Eastern of Turkey

Abstract

Objective: Enuresis nocturna, which is common in childhood, can cause significant psychosocial problems if left untreated. In this study, it was aimed to examine the factors affecting the age of admission to the outpatient clinic in children with enuresis nocturna.
Materials and Methods: Patients from five different centers were included in the study. The patients' age, gender, family structure, place of residence, occupational status of the mother, education level and income of the parents were obtained from the hospital records and by contacting the families by phone.
Results: The mean age of the 162 patients included in the study was 9.41±3.24 years, 94 of whom were male. It was found that as the education level and income level of their parents increased, the age of referring to the polyclinic decreased significantly. In addition, it was observed that patients living in urban areas applied to the hospital earlier than rural patients.
Conclusion: Factors such as the education level of the parents, place of residence and income level are important in terms of the time of admission to the outpatient clinic of patients with enuresis nocturna.
