The epidemiology and factors associated with nocturnal enuresis among boarding and daytime school children in southeast of Turkey: a cross sectional study

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Nocturnal enuresis is an important problem among young children living in Turkey. The purpose of this study was to determine the possible differences in the prevalence of enuresis between children in boarding school and daytime school and the association of enuresis with sociodemographic factors.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>This was a cross-sectional survey. A total of 562 self-administered questionnaires were distrubuted to parents from two different types of schools. One of them was a day-time school and the other was a boarding school. To describe enuresis the ICD-10 definition of at least one wet night per month for three consecutive months was used. Chi-square test and a logistic regression model was used to identify significant predictive factors for enuresis.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>The overall prevalence of nocturnal enuresis was 14.9%. The prevalence of nocturnal enuresis declined with age. Of the 6 year old children 33.3% still wetted their beds, while the ratio was 2.6% for 15 years-olds. There was no significant difference in prevalence of nocturnal enuresis between boys and girls (14.3% versus 16. 8%). Enuresis was reported as 18.5% among children attending day time school and among those 11.5% attending boarding school (p < 0.05). Prevalence of enuresis was increased in children living in villages, with low income and with positive family history (p < 0.05). After multivariate analysis, history of urinary tract infection (OR = 2.02), age (OR = 1.28), low monthly income (OR = 2.86) and family history of enuresis (OR = 3.64) were factors associated with enuresis. 46.4% of parents and 57.1% of enuretic children were significantly concerned about the impact of enuresis.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Enuresis was more frequent among children attending daytime school when compared to boarding school. Our findings suggest that nocturnal enuresis is a common problem among school children, especially with low income, smaller age, family history of enuresis and history of urinary tract infection. Enuresis is a pediatric public health problem and efforts at all levels should be made such as preventive, etiological and curative.</p

The Organisation and Work of the National Coal Board Translation Section

I. Abstracts Articles for abstracting are selected by the Technical Editor of the Production Department and the Head of the Scientific Intelligence Section, in consultation with the Head of the Translation Section when necessary. The finished abstracts are distributed in two bulletins. The first, known as Production Abstracts, is distributed to the Board's Engineers at Headquarters and throughout the country. Some 350 copies of each issue are sent out every month; the number of abstracts in a given issue is from 25 to 35, and appropriate illustrations are included. Most of these abstracts are informative in character, that is, they contain the "meat" of an article and are intended to make a full translation unnecessary. The second bulletin, entitled Scientific Abstracts, consists principally of indicative abstracts, which are not illustrated. The intention, in this case, is to bring to the notice of the Board's Scientific and Research staff articles dealing with their own special fields. Some 200 copies of this bulletin are issued every two months, and each issue contains between 30 and 40 abstracts.</jats:p
