Daytime urinary incontinence: a chronic and comorbid condition of childhood
Journal Title: Jornal de Pediatria - Year 2016, Vol 92, Issue 2
Abstract
In the article “Clinical course of a cohort of children with non-neurogenic daytime urinary incontinence symptoms followed at a tertiary center,” Lebl et al.1 characterize a cohort of 50 children attending their center over 12 years with the primary symptom of functional daytime urinary incontinence (DUI). They conclude that a subgroup of children with clinical characteristics of an overactive bladder (OAB), without associated comorbidities of urinary tract infection (UTI) and normal urinary tract ultrasound and uroflowmetry, may be treated without further invasive studies. Mean follow up time was 4.7 years and one-third of the group were resistant to treatment.
