Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı; 5-14 yaş arasındaki çocuklarda enüresis prevalansını araştırmak ve bu arada enüresisle beraber görülebilecek işeme disfonksiyonü, idrar yolu infeksiyonu gibi organik patolojilerin prevalansını değerlendirmektir. Bu amaçla çocuk polikliniğimizde değerlendirilen 7700 olgu arasında ileriye dönük olarak enüresis ve organik uriner anomaliler araştırılmış ve bulgular istatistiksel olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Enüresis prevalansı %6.75 bulundu ve kızlara göre erkeklerde fazla olması istatistiksel olarak anlamlı idi (p
