First uninterrupted sleep period in children and adolescents with nocturnal enuresis: Added value in diagnosis and follow-up during therapy. Neurourol Urodyn 2024; 43:1147-1154.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The first uninterrupted sleep period (FUSP, time up to the first episode of enuresis/nocturia after falling asleep) is a frequently investigated parameter in adults with nocturia, as it correlates with quality of life. However, it has not been included in pediatric enuresis studies. AIM Investigate FUSP, circadian renal water and sodium handling, as well as sleep quality before and after desmopressin therapy in enuresis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a post hoc analysis of a prospective study in 30 treatment-naïve children with enuresis who underwent a video-polysomnography and a 24-h urine concentration profile before and after 6 months of desmopressin therapy. We analyzed FUSP, periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS), and arousal indexes and their correlations with the urinary parameters. RESULTS Sixteen children with a mean age of 10.9 ± 3.1 years had full registrations and were included in this subanalysis. After therapy, FUSP was significantly longer (p < 0.001), and the PLMS index was lower (p = 0.023). Significant differences in the circadian rhythm of diuresis (night/day diuresis, p = 0.041), nocturnal urinary osmolality (p = 0.009), and creatinine (p = 0.001) were found, demonstrating the increase of urinary concentration overnight by desmopressin, as well as a significant antidiuretic effect (diuresis [p = 0.013] and diuresis rate (p = 0.008). There was no correlation between the difference of FUSP, PLMS index, and urinary parameters. Nevertheless, despite this study being underpowered, there are indications of a correlation between nocturnal diuresis and diuresis rate. RESULTS Our results support the need for further research regarding FUSP in children with enuresis, in accordance with nocturia studies in adults, as this parameter could be valuable in the follow-up and evaluation of therapeutic strategies for enuresis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To prospectively investigate the nocturnal bladder function and sleep in children with refractory primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (RPMNE). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-three children diagnosed with RPMNE and 30 controls who had upper urinary tract abnormality but without any voiding problems were included in the study. RPMNE patients underwent a standardized investigation protocol, including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire, a 7-day bladder diary, and the simultaneous ambulatory urodynamic monitoring and polysomnography (PSG); controls were evaluated using the PSQI questionnaire and PSG. RESULTS The children with RPMNE were subdivided into the nocturnal detrusor overactivity (NDO) case group and the non-NDO case group. The children in the NDO case group had a higher percentage of total sleep time in light sleep and a lower percentage in the N3 sleep stage than those in the non-NDO case group and control group (P <.05). The cortical arousal index and PSQI scores of both RPMNE subgroups were higher compared to the control group (P <.05). The incidences of reduced nocturnal bladder capacity (NBC) in the NDO case group were higher than in the non-NDO case group (P <.05). The frequency of involuntary detrusor contractions during sleep was positively correlated with cortical arousal index in the NDO case group (r = 0.811, P <.0001). CONCLUSION In addition to the reduced NBC, the RPMNE is related to abnormal NDO, increased light sleep period, and cortical arousal dysfunction. Moreover, there is a certain correlation between the abnormal degrees of NDO and cortical arousal dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nocturnal enuresis (NE) is a common disease with multiple pathogenic mechanisms. This study aimed to compare levels of metabolites and proteins between wet and dry nights in urine samples from children with monosymptomatic NE (MNE). METHODS Ten boys with MNE and nocturnal polyuria (age: 7.6 ± 1.3 years) collected their total nighttime urine production during a wet and a dry night. Untargeted metabolomics and proteomics were performed on the urine samples by liquid chromatography coupled with high-mass accuracy tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). RESULTS On wet nights, we found reduced urine osmolality (P = 0.025) and increased excretion of urinary potassium and sodium by a factor of, respectively, 2.1 (P = 0.038) and 1.9 (P = 0.19) compared with dry nights. LC-MS identified 59 metabolites and 84 proteins with significantly different levels between wet and dry nights (fold change (FC) < 0.67 or > 1.5, P < 0.05). Some compounds were validated by different methodologies. During wet nights, levels of compounds related to oxidative stress and blood pressure, including adrenalin, were increased. We found reduced levels of aquaporin-2 on wet nights. The FCs in the 59 metabolites were positively correlated to the FCs in the same metabolites identified in urine samples obtained during the evening preceding wet and dry nights. CONCLUSIONS Oxidative stress, which in the literature has been associated with nocturia and disturbances in sleep, might be increased during wet nights in children with MNE. We further found evidence of increased sympathetic activity. The mechanisms related to having wet nights in children with MNE seem complex, and both free water and solute handling appear to be important. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
Functional (Nonorganic) Enuresis and Daytime Urinary Incontinence in Children and Adolescents: Clinical Guideline for Assessment and Treatment Abstract: Objective: Enuresis and daytime urinary incontinence are common disorders in children and adolescents and are associated with incapacitation and a high rate of comorbid psychological disorders. This interdisciplinary guideline summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding somatic and psychiatric assessment and treatment. We formulate consensus-based, practical recommendations. Methods: The members of this guideline commission consisted of 18 professional associations. The guideline results from current literature searches, several online surveys, and consensus conferences based on standard procedures. Results: According to the International Children's Continence Society (ICCS), there are four different subtypes of nocturnal enuresis and nine subtypes of daytime urinary incontinence. Organic factors first have to be excluded. Clinical and noninvasive assessment is sufficient in most cases. Standard urotherapy is the mainstay of treatment. If indicated, one can add specific urotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Medication can be useful, especially in enuresis and urge incontinence. Psychological and somatic comorbid disorders must also be addressed. Conclusions: The recommendations of this guideline were passed with a high consensus. Interdisciplinary cooperation is especially important, as somatic factors and comorbid psychological disorders and symptoms need to be considered. More research is required especially regarding functional (nonorganic) daytime urinary incontinence.

Combination therapy (desmopressin plus oxybutynin) improves the response rate compared with desmopressin alone in patients with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis and nocturnal polyuria and absence of constipation predict the response to this treatment. Eur J Pediatr 2023; 182:1587-1592. [PMID: 36693995 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-023-04824-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED Combination therapy (CT) (desmopressin plus oxybutynin) has been considered for the treatment of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE). We designed our study with the aim to evaluate the response rate to CT compared with desmopressin alone (primary outcome) and to identify factors associated with the response to CT (secondary outcome). We prospectively enrolled children with MNE with absent/partial response after 3 months of evening treatment with 240 mcg of desmopressin. We defined the response rate to CT compared with desmopressin alone according to the standardization of terminology document of the International Children's Continence Society: no-response, < 50% reduction; partial response, 50 to 99% reduction; and complete response, 100% reduction of wet nights. Both partial response and complete response to CT were clustered for the analyses of this manuscript. The enrolled children treated with 240 mcg/evening of desmopressin had also an additional evening administration of 0.3 mg/kg oxybutynin. A follow-up was scheduled at 3 and 6 months after the beginning of CT. At 3 months, oxybutynin dose was augmented to 0.5 mg/kg in case of absent/partial response to CT. Nocturnal diuresis was measured in 5 wet nights prior the beginning of therapy with desmopressin. Nocturnal polyuria (NP) was defined as nocturnal urine production > 130% of the expected bladder capacity. All patients with constipation were treated with macrogol. We enrolled 81 children (35.8% females) with a mean age of 8.4 ± 2.3 years. Seventy-eight patients completed the follow-up. After the CT, 59/78 (75.6%) patients showed an improvement of the response with CT compared with desmopressin alone. At multivariate analysis, both NP in more than 1 night (OR = 8.5; 95% CI, 1.4-51.6; p = 0.02) and absence of constipation (OR = 7.1; 95% CI, 1.6-31.0; p = 0.009) resulted significant after Bonferroni correction. CONCLUSIONS CT determines an improvement of response compared to therapy with desmopressin alone in 75.6% of patients. Significant predictive factors of response to CT were presence of NP and absence of constipation. WHAT IS KNOWN • Combination therapy (CT) (desmopressin plus anticholinergic drug) has been described as a therapeutic option for patients with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE) not responding to desmopressin alone as first-line treatment. • Variable protocols and variable combination of drugs have been described with a response rate ranging from 44 to 76%. WHAT IS NEW • We found that 59 patients (75.6%) treated with evening administration of 240 mcg of sublingual desmopressin plus 0.3-0.5 mg/kg of oxybutynin had an improvement of response compared to treatment with desmopressin alone. • We add evidence that presence of frequently recurring nocturnal polyuria and absence of constipation are predictors of response to CT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Constipation, daytime incontinence and nocturnal enuresis often overlap. Treatment of constipation has been shown to be an important aspect of therapy for children with daytime incontinence. However, the value of fecal disimpaction, as a part of constipation therapy, in children with enuresis has not been evaluated. AIM Our aim was to evaluate the antienuretic effect of fecal disimpaction in children with enuresis and concomitant constipation. METHODS The bladder and bowel function was assessed noninvasively in children aged six to ten years who sought help for enuresis for the first time. If they were constipated according to the Rome IV criteria or had a rectal diameter exceeding 30 mm, as assessed by ultrasound, they were given standard evacuation with mini-enemas and macrogol therapy for at least two weeks. Enuresis frequency was documented 14 nights preceding and following therapy. RESULTS In total, 66 children (20 girls, 46 boys) were evaluated, 23 (35%) of whom were constipated. There were no differences in age, sex or baseline bladder function between the two groups. The enuresis frequency per two weeks was 9.8 ± 4.1 nights before and 9.3 ± 5.1 nights after constipation therapy (p = 0.43). DISCUSSION This study found that fecal disimpaction in children with enuresis who are also constipated did not alleviate nocturnal enuresis. Bowel problems may still need to be addressed but the child should not be given the false hope that this approach alone will make them dry at night. It might be that evidenced based therapies, such as the enuresis alarm and desmopressin, could be less efficient in children with enuresis and constipation unless their bowel disturbance is first properly addressed. CONCLUSIONS Fecal disimpaction in children with enuresis and concomitant constipation will, by itself, not make the children dry at night.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE According to international guidelines, children with enuresis are recommended urotherapy, or basic bladder advice, before treatment with evidence-based alternatives such as the enuresis alarm is given. The efficacy of this strategy has, however, not been supported by controlled studies. We wanted to test if basic bladder advice is useful in enuresis. DESIGN Randomised, controlled trial. SETTING Paediatric outpatient ward, regional hospital. PATIENTS Treatment-naïve enuretic children aged ≥6 years, with no daytime incontinence. INTERVENTIONS Three groups, each during 8 weeks: (A) basic bladder advice-that is, voiding and drinking according to a strict schedule and instructions regarding toilet posture, (B) enuresis alarm therapy and (C) no treatment (control group). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Reduction in enuresis frequency during week 7-8 compared with baseline. RESULTS The median number of wet nights out of 14 before and at the end of treatment were in group A (n=20) 12.5 and 11.5 (p=0.44), in group B (n=22) 11.0 and 3.5 (p<0.001) and in group C (n=18) 12.5 and 12.0 (p=0.55). The difference in reduction of enuresis frequency between the groups was highly significant (p=0.002), but no difference was found between basic bladder advice and controls. CONCLUSIONS Urotherapy, or basic bladder advice, is ineffective as a first-line treatment of nocturnal enuresis. Enuretic children who are old enough to be bothered by their condition should be offered treatment with the alarm or desmopressin. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03812094.

Abstract
Nocturnal enuresis is a common disorder among children that seriously affects physical and mental health and has become a social problem. Bibliometric analysis is a valid way to examine existing research results, current research hotspots and research frontiers. Current studies on nocturnal enuresis are numerous and complex, but a bibliometric analysis of the existing research on nocturnal enuresis has yet to be published. To better identify the research trends and frontiers in nocturnal enuresis, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive review and analysis. We used bibliometric and visualization methods to analyze the 1,111 papers published between 1982 and 2022 from the Web of Science core collection. Basic information about the country, institution, and authors was analyzed, which led to a basic understanding of nocturnal enuresis. The United States is the most prolific country, Ghent University is the most influential institution, and Rittig Soren is the most prominent scholar. The frequency of keywords, clustering, and the cited literature were analyzed to understand the hotspots and frontiers of research, and a brief review of the highly cited literature was conducted. The current research hotspots are the treatment modalities for nocturnal enuresis, epidemiological investigations, and the exploration of pathogenesis. Clinical research, adenoidectomy, aquaporin 2, and response inhibition are potential research hotspots. The standardization of terminology in nocturnal enuresis and the pathologies of polyuria and sleep disorder are at the forefront of research. In summary, the results of our bibliometric analysis reveal views on the current situation and the trend of nocturnal enuresis research for the first time. This study may provide guidance for promoting research on nocturnal enuresis.

Abstract
Primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) is a common childhood disorder that adversely affects a child’s mental well-being and social life. Our clinical experience showed parents and their child often have significantly different perspective of enuresis, and these differences can affect family dynamics, treatment approaches, and treatment success. Parents’ perception of PNE also influences the likelihood of seeking medical treatment, and we found parents of children with enuresis have markedly different beliefs regarding bedwetting than those of physicians. Because achieving remission for PNE requires parents and their child to actively participate in treatment, assessing their expectancy of success and their beliefs will allow clinicians to adjust treatment goals as necessary. When treating PNE, guidelines consistently recommend incorporating bed alarms as part of the therapy. However, through interviewing parents and treating their children, we found parents preferred medications or other behavioral strategies, such as limiting water intake, because of their convenience. Many parents would complain bed alarms woke them up instead of their child, and they would soon give up on bed alarms. Part of assessing their beliefs includes assessing their confidence in their child being able to wake up to alarms and to persist with treatment. Understanding how they manage and approach setbacks will also determine the treatment modality suited for their child. In this review paper, we detailed our experiences interviewing parents and treating their child with NE with urodynamics and medications at the Changhua Christian Hospital in Taiwan.

J Pediatr Urol 2021; 17:447.e1-447.e7. [PMID: 33820712 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2021.03.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2020] [Revised: 03/02/2021] [Accepted: 03/08/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND AIM OF THE STUDY Most treatments of nocturnal enuresis (NE) are targeting the main pathophysiological mechanisms, i.e., excess nocturnal urine production, bladder reservoir dysfunction and inability to awaken to a full bladder. Although many children can be effectively treated with only one treatment modality, there is a significant number of treatment-refractory cases. We experience an increasing tendency to combine treatment modalities in those children. However, there is limited evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of such strategies. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed files from all NE children seen in our outpatient incontinence clinic between January 1st and December 31st 2017 and identified children refractory to first line treatment receiving a combination of at least two treatment modalities concurrently. Age, gender, wet nights per week before treatment, follow-up time, previous treatment with desmopressin or alarm, phenotype of NE, number of simultaneous treatments tried and response as well as registered side effects during treatment was noted. We registered the outcomes and safety of the treatment modalities and evaluated prognostic factors. RESULTS We identified 59 children (13 girls) aged 6-15 yrs (mean 9.6 yrs) of whom 30 were monosymptomatic NE (MNE) and 29 were non-monosymptomatic NE (NMNE) patients. They all suffered at least three wet nights per week before treatment. In total, 38 children (61%) became dry on multimodal therapy. Eighteen children (30%) became dry on a combination of two treatment modalities, 16 (27%) on three modalities, and two (3%) on four modalities. Nine children (15%) achieved partial response whereas three (5%) showed no response despite multiple tries with combination therapies. A total of 18 children (30%) reported side effects to one or more of the modalities tried. Side effects that led to discontinuation of the treatment were uncommon (three patients). CONCLUSIONS Treatment refractory NE represents a challenge for the clinician. Although it seems possible to adequately treat refractory NE patients with multimodal treatment one should be aware of side effects as well as inform the families of the challenges in the treatment of refractory enuresis patients. Future RCT's should focus on providing further evidence for the role of multimodal therapy in NE treatment.

Abstract
Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging studies of nocturnal enuresis have focused primarily on regional metrics in the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal ranging from 0.01 to 0.08 Hz. However, it remains unclear how local metrics show in sub-frequency band. 129 children with nocturnal enuresis (NE) and 37 healthy controls were included in this study. The patients were diagnosed by the pediatricians in Shanghai Children's Medical Center affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, according to the criteria from International Children's Continence Society (ICCS). Questionnaires were used to evaluate the symptoms of enuresis and completed by the participants. In this study, fALFF, ReHo and PerAF were calculated within five different frequency bands: typical band (0.01-0.08 Hz), slow-5 (0.01-0.027 Hz), slow-4 (0.027-0.073 Hz), slow-3 (0.073-0.198 Hz), and slow-2 (0.198-0.25 Hz). In the typical band, ReHo increased in the left insula and the right thalamus, while fALFF decreased in the right insula in children with NE. Besides, PerAF was increased in the right middle temporal gyrus in these children. The results regarding ReHo, fALFF and PerAF in the typical band was similar to those in slow-5 band, respectively. A correlation was found between the PerAF value of the right middle temporal gyrus and scores of the urinary intention-related wakefulness. Results in other bands were either negative or in white matter. NE children might have abnormal intrinsic neural oscillations mainly on slow-5 bands.

Endoscopic Botulinum Toxin Injection for Refractory Enuresis Based on Urodynamic Assessment. Int Neurourol J 2021; 25:236-243. [PMID: 33676380 PMCID: PMC8497728 DOI: 10.5213/inj.2040326.163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2020] [Accepted: 11/15/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to determine the urodynamic characteristics of refractory enuresis and explored whether those characteristics can be managed through differential endoscopic injections with botulinum toxin. Methods In total, 27 patients with nonmonosymptomatic enuresis who showed no response after conservative treatment for more than 12 months were included. The patients then underwent a videourodynamic study and received a differential endoscopic injection of botulinum toxin on the same day. Reduced capacity, detrusor overactivity, and bladder neck widening were the 3 major abnormal findings assessed during the filling phase, while sphincter hyperactivity was the only abnormality assessed during the emptying phase. An intravesical or intrasphincteric injection of botulinum toxin was attempted according to the videourodynamic study findings. Follow-up was conducted at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment. Results The median age was 10 years (range, 7–31 years). Although 19 and 8 patients had a preoperative diagnosis of overactive bladder or dysfunctional voiding, respectively, the urodynamic diagnosis was different in more than half of the patients. Those showing detrusor overactivity benefited from intravesical botulinum toxin injection, whereas those with only sphincter hyperactivity benefited from both intravesical and intrasphincteric injections. Treatment resistance to botulinum toxin seemed to be attributable to bladder neck widening. Time had no apparent effect on efficacy, which persisted 6 months after the injection. More than 80% of the patients maintained the benefits of the injection after 1 year. Conclusions Videourodynamic studies were useful for identifying the reasons underlying refractory nonmonosymptomatic enuresis and helpful for determining the appropriate site of botulinum toxin injection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE) is a common distressing condition to children and parents. This study aimed to determine frequencies, severities and characteristics of behavioral problems with PMNE. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 80 children with PMNE (age: 12.58 ± 1.24 yrs.; boys = 58, girls = 22) and 60 healthy children. Behavioral symptoms were assessed by Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). RESULTS This study included 80 children (boys/girls ratio = 2.64:1) with PMNE. They had mean age of 12.58 ± 1.24 yrs. The majority (70%) had good response to medical treatment. Compared to controls, children with enuresis had higher frequencies of emotional, conduct and hyperactivity-inattention symptoms and peer relationship and prosocial problems and higher total (P = 0.001) and different subscales' scores of SDQ. There was an overlap of behavioral problems in 52.2% of children with nocturnal enuresis. Compared to children without behavioral symptoms, children with behavioral symptoms were significantly older at age at presentation (P = 0.046) regardless of gender, residence and type or response to medications. Multiple regression analysis showed that emotional [β = 0.053 (95%CI = 0.037-0.084), P = 0.024] and hyperactivity-inattention symptoms [β = 0.063 (95%CI = 0.028-0.097), P = 0.001] were significantly associated with enuresis independent to other problems. CONCLUSION PMNE is associated with higher risk of behavioral problems particularly emotional and hyperactivity-inattention symptoms indicating externalizing and internalizing problems, therefore, the importance of early non-pharmacological or/and drug interventions. The comorbid behavioral disorders should be treated separately according to evidence-based recommendations to prevent persistence of enuresis and the development of psychiatric disorders in the future.

Abstract
Nocturnal enuresis is the involuntary pass of urine during sleep beyond the age of 5 years. It is a common condition in childhood and has an impact on the child's well-being. Research into the pathophysiology of the condition in the last decades has led to a paradigm shift, and enuresis is no longer considered a psychiatric disorder but rather a maturation defect with a somatic background. An excess urine production during sleep is a common finding in children with enuresis and disturbances in the circadian rhythm of arginine-vasopressin (AVP) is found in the majority of children with nocturnal polyuria. Children with enuresis and nocturnal polyuria lack the physiologic increase in AVP levels during sleep and treatment with the AVP analogue desmopressin can restore this rhythm and lead to dry nights. The reasons for this aberrant circadian AVP rhythm are not established. Furthermore, not all children with enuresis and nocturnal polyuria can be successfully treated with desmopressin suggesting that factors beyond renal water handling can be implicated such as natriuresis, hypercalciuria, and sleep-disordered breathing. The advances in the research of the genetic background of the condition may shed further light on the enuresis pathophysiology.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to describe clinical characteristics and bladder assessment in children with Non-Monosymptomatic Nocturnal Enuresis (NMNE) in coastal region of Croatia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Records on 85 patients with NMNE were retrospectively reviewed. Bladder assessments were performed in all children. In this research we: (i) compare clinical characteristics and features of bladder assessment: uroflowmetry, post void residuals (PVR) and bladder wall thickness between boys and girls with NMNE and we compare (ii) clinical characteristics and bladder assessment between children with primary and secondary NMNE. RESULTS There were 46 girls and 39 boys. The total of 59 children had primary NMNE and 26 children had secondary NMNE. Uroflow pattern was abnormal in 42% of all children with NMNE. Abnormal uroflow pattern in children with NMNE was more often in girls than in boys (P < 0.05) and in children with secondary than in children with primary NMNE (P < 0.05). Ultrasound evidence of bladder wall thickness was more frequent in boys than in girls. Girls were more likely to have dysfunctional voiding and larger residual urinary volume than boys. CONCLUSIONS Abnormal uroflow pattern in children with NMNE was more often in girls than boys and in children with secondary than in children with primary NMNE.

Abstract
PURPOSE Poor awakening in patients with enuresis has been assumed to be an adaptation to the chronic influence of arousal stimuli like lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD). This study aimed to examine the effect of controlling LUTD on improvement of awakening and cure of enuresis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data for 119 enuretic patients with overactive bladder were retrospectively analyzed. The patients received urotherapy, laxatives, and anticholinergic agents. LUTD symptoms and enuresis were regularly monitored every 3 months. History of waking up because of bedwetting (ability to awaken, AA) was used as a surrogate marker of arousal and was graded at baseline and every 3 months of treatment. Changing distribution of each grade of AA was associated with other LUTD symptoms. Multivariate analysis was applied to understand whether the lack of improvement in AA might harbor any prognostic implications regarding cure of enuresis. RESULTS Decreasing number of LUTD with treatment corresponded to increasing number of better AA. Enuresis was resolved completely in 88 patients in a median time of 7 months. Failure to show even single episode of awakening before bedwetting within 6 months of treatment and persistent daytime incontinence were identified as risk factors for treatment resistance until 18 months of treatment. CONCLUSIONS Controlling LUTD symptoms in the management of nonmonosymptomatic enuresis was crucial for not only the treatment of enuresis but also for allowing the patients to obtain better arousal. AA tended to improve subsequent to bladder control and may contribute to the cure of enuresis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The case history is the primary tool when investigating the enuretic child. To further determine whether nocturnal polyuria or detrusor overactivity is present, a full voiding chart, is the method of choice. However, there is no robust evidence that daytime voiding chart data actually do predict nocturnal detrusor function. AIM The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of anamnestic data and the voiding chart in the treatment of children with therapy-resistant enuresis. PATIENTS AND METHODS The patients all suffered from enuresis resistant to first-line therapy. None of the children had daytime incontinence. In accordance with international recommendations, the children were first treated with anticholinergics. If the therapeutic effect was not satisfactory dosage was adjusted and desmopressin was added. If sufficient treatment effect was not achieved, antidepressant therapy was tried next, combined with desmopressin if needed. Since this was an evaluation of clinical practice, not a randomized trial, treatment success was graded according to family satisfaction, not the actual frequency of wet nights. Thus, only children who reported that they were completely dry were regarded as full responders and those who stated that there was a substantial and useful reduction of wet nights were labeled intermediate responders. RESULTS In total, 154 patients were included. Few and inconsistent differences were found between the groups responding or not responding to the various treatment regimens, and this was true both for anamnestic and voiding chart data (see Table). The only statistically significant findings were that responders to antidepressant therapy were older (p = 0.013) than non-responders, and patients who benefited from addition of desmopressin had a higher micturition frequency than those who did not (p = 0.027). The children who needed desmopressin as part of combination treatment to become dry did not have significantly higher nocturnal urine production than those who had no such benefit (p = 0.619). Neither the presence of urgency nor a history of previous daytime incontinence was significantly more common in children responding to anticholinergics (p = 0.375 and 0.072, respectively). DISCUSSION No clear and consistent differences in either anamnestic factors or voiding chart data were found between the patients responding or not responding to the various treatment regimens. Not even urgency could predict anticholinergic efficacy. Somewhat surprisingly, no association between nocturnal polyuria and desmopressin benefit was found. CONCLUSION In this study no prognostic value was found in anamnestic or voiding chart data in children with therapy resistant enuresis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enuresis is an extremely common condition, which, although somatically benign, poses long-term psychosocial risks if untreated. There are still many misconceptions regarding the proper management of these children. AIM A cross-professional team of experts affiliated with the International Children's Continence Society (ICCS) undertook to update the previous guidelines for the evaluation and treatment of children with enuresis. METHODS The document used the globally accepted ICCS terminology. Evidence-based literature served as the basis, but in areas lacking in primary evidence, expert consensus was used. Before submission, a full draft was made available to all ICCS members for additional comments. RESULTS The enuretic child does, in the absence of certain warning signs (i.e., voiding difficulties, excessive thirst), not need blood tests, radiology or urodynamic assessment. Active therapy is recommended from the age of 6 years. The most important comorbid conditions to take into account are psychiatric disorders, constipation, urinary tract infections and snoring or sleep apneas. Constipation and daytime incontinence, if present, should be treated. In nonmonosymptomatic enuresis, it is recommended that basic advice regarding voiding and drinking habits be provided. In monosymptomatic enuresis, or if the above strategy did not make the child dry, the first-line treatment modalities are desmopressin or the enuresis alarm. If both these therapies fail alone or in combination, anticholinergic treatment is a possible next step. If the child is unresponsive to initial therapy, antidepressant treatment may be considered by the expert. Children with concomitant sleep disordered breathing may become dry if the airway obstruction is removed.

Abstract
AIM To determine the urinary levels of nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE) and evaluate whether these factors can be used as biomarkers for the treatment outcome. METHODS NGF and BDNF levels were measured and compared in 38 children (28 boys and 10 girls) with MNE and 25 children (18 boys and 7 girls) with no urinary symptoms were assessed. The mean ages in the patient and control groups were 9 and 10 years, respectively (P = .49). The patients were treated with either alarm or desmopressin therapy. RESULTS The urinary NGF/creatinine and BDNF/creatinine ratios were significantly higher in the patient group than in the control group (P = .0003 and P = .0095, respectively). NGF and BDNF levels showed a significant positive correlation (P = .0020, r = 0.40). With respect to the degree of response, 19 patients (50%) showed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), and 19 patients (50%) showed nonresponse (NR). The urinary NGF/creatinine and BDNF/creatinine ratios were significantly higher in the NR group than in the CR and PR groups (P = .0003 and P = .0003, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Urinary NGF/creatinine and BDNF/creatinine ratios were significantly higher in children with MNE than in healthy controls. Urinary NGF/creatinine can be predictive factors of a poor treatment outcome in children with MNE.

Abstract
AIM We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of electrical stimulation (ES) in treating children with nocturnal enuresis (NE). METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of the use of ES for the treatment of NE in children were searched using EMBASE, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register. The references of related articles were also searched. The systematic review was carried out using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses. RESULTS Four RCTs involving 171 patients were studied. We found that there was statistically significant difference in the wet nights per week (mean difference [MD], -0.70; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.89 to -0.51; P < .00001), the number of patients with clinical response (MD, 26.88; 95% CI, 11.16 to 64.74; P < .00001), and bladder capacity (MD, -0.70; 95% CI -0.89 to -0.51; P < .00001) in the ES group compared with the placebo group with the exception of maximum voided volume (MVV) (MD, 19.48; 95% CI, -9.18 to 48.14; P = .18). CONCLUSIONS The study provides a significant improvement in statistics in the wet nights per week, the number of patients with clinical response and bladder capacity for children with NE compared with the placebo group with the exception of MVV.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Night-time polyuria as the dominating pathophysiological mechanism for primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE) has been put in question with nocturnal detrusor overactivity and high arousal thresholds as alternatives. An earlier finding of night-time polyuria in 12% of healthy non-enuretic schoolchildren underscores that excessive night-time diuresis per se is unlikely the major cause of PMNE. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare the night-time diuresis pattern in children with and without PMNE and to evaluate the role of night-time polyuria in provoking enuretic episodes in children with PMNE. STUDY DESIGN Night-time diuresis pattern was recorded in 27 children with PMNE, aged 6-15 years, and 29 non-enuretic children, aged 6-13 years. Using a portable ultrasound recorder, the bladder volume was estimated at 15-min intervals for at least three nights with the child sleeping in its own bed at home. The volume of enuretic episodes was controlled using preweighed diapers. All voids were registered by time and volume. Diuresis during night time was estimated from the slope of regression lines fitted to ultrasound recording points. Mean night-time diuresis was calculated from total urine production during the night and time interval from the last void before bedtime to the first morning void. RESULTS Night-time bladder filling pattern was recorded from 189 nights, giving 149 interpretable patterns for analysis (77 children with PMNE and 72 dry children). The night-time diuresis pattern was similar for children with or without PMNE, showing large variability between different nights of the same child. Most nights displayed a smooth bladder filling at constant low rate, whereas other nights showed an early phase with high diuresis followed by a longer period of low diuresis with no difference between the two groups. DISCUSSION Night-time diuresis has been non-invasively monitored in children while asleep in their own beds at home. The pattern of night-time diuresis varies considerably between different nights of the same child, with no obvious differences in any diuresis parameters between children with or without PMNE. CONCLUSION Non-enuretic children have similar diuresis pattern and maximal night-time diuresis values as children with PMNE, making it unlikely that PMNE is caused by night-time polyuria per se (Summary figure). Delayed maturation of sleep mechanisms such as decreased arousability or sleep inhibition of the micturition reflex is more likely to be the main etiology for enuresis.

Nevéus T. The amount of urine voided in bed by children with enuresis. J Pediatr Urol 2019; 15:31.e1-31.e5. [PMID: 30181098 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2018.08.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2018] [Accepted: 08/03/2018] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Enuretic children wet their beds either because of nocturnal polyuria or nocturnal detrusor overactivity. Polyuric children often respond to desmopressin, whereas children with nocturnal detrusor overactivity are often therapy resistant and may have low daytime voided volumes. It is logical to assume that the enuretic event in children with nocturnal polyuria occurs with a full bladder, i.e. with the enuretic voided volume (EVV) close to the child's expected bladder capacity (EBC) for his/her age. However, the EVV has only rarely been studied, and little is known about how it relates to case history, polyuria, or daytime bladder function. The aim of this study was to look at EVV and relate it to voiding chart data and treatment response. METHODS Anamnestic data and voiding charts, including measurement of nocturnal urine production and EVV, in enuretic children with or without concomitant daytime incontinence attending a tertiary center were retrospectively reviewed. The EVV was analyzed and compared to anamnestic data, voiding chart data, and response to therapy in accordance with the guidelines of the International Children's Continence Society. RESULTS Data were available for 220 children (age 5-24, median 9), 40 of whom were girls. The prevalence of previous or present daytime incontinence was 42.4%, and 50.5% sometimes experienced urgency. The average EVV was 54.9 ± 32.8% of EBC. EVV correlated highly significantly to nocturnal urine production (p < 0.001). Still, EVV ≥ EBC was observed in only 16 children. EVV was slightly larger in girls (p = 0.013) and in children with urgency (p = 0.034), but there were no significant EVV differences between children responding or not responding to antidiuretic, anticholinergic, or antidepressant therapy. Relevant data are summarized in the Table below. DISCUSSION Case history and daytime voiding chart data give very little information about nocturnal bladder function. The EVV is strongly influenced by nocturnal urine production but only rarely reaches up to a level close to or exceeding the EBC. The enuretic event only very rarely represents the emptying of a full bladder. Thus, a component of nocturnal detrusor overactivity can be assumed to be present in almost all enuretic children, even in children with nocturnal polyuria. The value of the EVV is limited in predicting response to therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Detrusor overactivity and constipation often co-exist in children with enuresis. Constipation is known to be linked to detrusor overactivity. The voiding chart is the best non-invasive way to investigate bladder function, whereas the ultrasonographical detection of rectal dilatation is the best way to objectify constipation. We wanted to investigate a possible relationship between the rectal diameter and voiding chart data in enuretic children. METHODS Children with therapy-resistant enuresis were retrospectively evaluated. All had completed a voiding chart for at least 48 h. The rectal diameter was assessed ultrasonographically. The cutoff for rectal dilatation was set at 30 mm. RESULTS We evaluated 74 patients (12 girls) aged 10.2 ± 2.8 years, 35 of whom had rectal dilatation. No significant differences in voiding chart parameters were found between children with normal versus dilated rectum. Neither did urgency or a history of daytime incontinence differ between the groups. Boys were more likely to have rectal dilatation than girls (p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS The absence of differences regarding voiding chart data may be explained as two mechanisms neutralizing each other: behavioral factors may make the constipated children void seldom and with large volumes, whereas detrusor overactivity caused by rectal compression of the bladder may have the opposite effect. Another option may be that the voiding chart is too blunt an instrument to detect detrusor overactivity. Constipation, and thus presumably bladder dysfunction, seems to be more important in enuretic boys than girls.

Abstract
Chronic monitoring of bladder activity and urine volume is essential for patients suffering from urinary dysfunctions. However, due to the anatomy and dynamics of the bladder, chronic and precise monitoring of bladder activity remains a challenge. Here, we propose a new sensing mechanism that measures the bladder volume using a resistive ladder network with contact switches. Instead of measuring the impedance between the electrode continuously, the proposed sensor provides a digitized output (‘on’ or ‘off’) when the bladder volume reaches a certain threshold value. We present simple proof-of-concept sensors which compare the discrete-mode operation to the continuous-mode operation. In addition, by using multiple pairs of this contact-mode switch in a resistor ladder structure, we demonstrate monitoring of the bladder volume in four discrete steps using an idealized balloon and an ex vivo pig’s bladder. We implemented the resistive ladder network using a conductive polypyrrole/agarose hydrogel composite which exhibits a Young’s modulus comparable to that of the bladder wall. Compared to the continuous-mode operation, the proposed sensing mechanism is less susceptible to drift due to material degradation and environmental factors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nocturnal enuresis is known to be a common urinary bladder complication in children. Recent studies have associated vitamin D and omega-3 insufficiency with nocturnal enuresis. AIM This was a 2-month randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial to measure the effects of vitamin D, omega-3 supplements, and their combination on nocturnal enuresis among 7-15-year-old children. MATERIALS AND METHODS Participants (180 children with nocturnal enuresis) were selected from children referred to the Pediatric ward of Imam Reza Clinic in Shiraz, Iran. Demographic information and anthropometric measures were taken. Fasting blood and urine samples were also collected, and serum vitamin D and urine prostaglandin E2 were measured before and after intervention. Enuretic children were randomly assigned to four groups: Group A, vitamin D (1000 IU/day); Group B, omega-3 (1000 mg/day); Group C, both omega-3 (1000 mg/day) and vitamin D (1000 IU/day); and Group D, placebo. RESULTS The results suggested that the study groups were not significantly different regarding demographic and anthropometric measures at baseline. Comparison of different groups revealed that 44.4% of participants in Group A, 28.2% of Group B and 45% of Group C were cured from enuresis (P = 0.03). Serum 25(OH) D was significantly increased in Group A, but urine prostaglandin E2 was not significantly decreased in response to supplementation. Although supplementation with both Group A and Group B were found to be effective, the combined intervention did not increase the effect of each intervention solely. CONCLUSIONS The results showed that supplementation with vitamin D and omega-3 could reduce the number of wet nights among 7-15-year-old children with nocturnal enuresis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Advice (BBA) into the standards of patients' care in both monosymptomatic and non-monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis. Although the idea of this recommendation was clear and reflects clinical experience, duration and efficacy have not been definitely established. Recent data have demonstrated the lack of efficacy of BBA and a fierce discussion has ensued. The present study was aimed to assess the efficacy of BBA in a group of previously untreated children with primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE). STUDY DESIGN The study was a prospective interventional multicenter trial in a cohort of previously untreated MNE patients. Forty-nine children (36 males, 13 females, mean age 7.2 years) were included in the analysis. The treatment efficacy was assessed at the 30th, 60th, and 90th days of BBA. RESULTS We discovered that the mean number of wet nights decreased significantly (p < 0.001) only after 3 months of BBA from 8.9 to 5.9 episodes every 2 weeks. BBA was fully successful in 2% o the children after 30 day, 12% after 60 days, and 18% after 90 days (Figure). Partial response (by ICCS) was assessed for 8%, 20%, and 34% of the patients. We noted a relatively high rate of non-responders that decreased from 90% to 47% after 90 days. We detected no differences in BBA efficacy between children with night-time polyuria or decreased maximal voided volume. A lower number of wet nights initially predicted the response to the BBA. DISCUSSION Our study confirmed rather limited efficacy of BBA, similarly to previous observations, but provided more information on isolated MNE, because of a more specific study group and longer period of observation. The limitation of the study was lack of randomization. CONCLUSION Our study revealed that in treatment-naïve children with monosymptomatic enuresis basic bladder training had a low (18%) and late effect, mostly pronounced after the third month of therapy. It seems that only if the patient presents with a favorable profile of bedwetting, occasionally and with a high maximum voided volume, it is worth maintaining BBA for a longer period of up to 3 months before initiating second-line therapy. In an unfavorable initial profile desmopressin or an alarm may be introduced much earlier.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the associations between allergic disease, sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), and childhood nocturnal enuresis (NE). We examined whether allergic disease and SDB were associated with childhood NE. METHODS Data were assessed from the 2007-2012 Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. We enrolled 4308 children aged 5-18 years having NE diagnosis and age- and sex-matched 4308 children as the control group. The odds ratios of NE were calculated to determine an association with preexisting allergic disease and SDB. RESULTS A total of 8616 children were included in the analysis. Prevalence of allergic diseases and SDB was significantly higher for the NE group than the control group (all p < 0.001). After adjusting odds ratios for potential confounding factors, except asthma, children with allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) had significantly higher odds of NE compared with children never diagnosed. With stratification for sex, girls with allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis, OSA, and snoring had significantly higher odds of NE, compared with girls never diagnosed. Only boys with allergic rhinitis and OSA were associated with increased odds of NE. With stratification for age, children aged 5-12 years with allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and OSA had significantly higher odds of NE compared with those never diagnosed. Odds of NE increased with the number of comorbid allergic diseases. CONCLUSIONS Allergic diseases and SDB are associated with increased odds of childhood NE. The odds of NE increased with the number of comorbid allergic diseases present.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated the effect of combining indomethacin and desmopressin in treating children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE) and desmopressin-resistant nocturnal polyuria. METHODS Twenty-three children with MNE, nocturnal polyuria, and partial or no response to desmopressin were recruited from incontinence clinics of our tertiary referral center. We used a randomized single-arm crossover placebo-controlled study design consisting of two 3-week treatment periods with a combination of desmopressin (0.4 mg) and indomethacin (50 mg) or desmopressin and placebo at bedtime. Home recordings at baseline and for the final 2 weeks of each treatment period were performed and included nocturnal urine output measurements. The number of dry nights achieved and reduction in the nocturnal urine output were the main effect parameters. Student's t test and Pearson's correlation coefficient were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The addition of indomethacin to desmopressin significantly reduced nocturnal urine output (from 324 ± 14 ml to 258 ± 13 ml, p < 0.001). This did not lead to more dry nights in all children, and we found no statistically significant reduction in enuresis frequency (from 68 % ± 0.1 to 56 % ± 0.1, p = 0.24). CONCLUSIONS Addition of indomethacin to desmopressin can further reduce nocturnal urine output in children with MNE and desmopressin-resistant nocturnal polyuria. The combination treatment does not, however, improve outcome in terms of frequency of nights with enuresis. The dissociation of antidiuretic and antienuretic effect may reflect nocturnal bladder reservoir dysfunction in children who present with normal daytime bladder function.

Factors associated with remission of primary nocturnal enuresis and changes of parental perception towards management strategies: A follow-up study. J Pediatr Urol 2017; 13:44.e1-44.e9.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To understand the remission rates, shifts in treatment methods used by parents, and parents' attitudes towards their children with primary nocturnal enuresis (NE). STUDY DESIGN A total of 408 children aged 6-12 years and diagnosed with primary nocturnal enuresis from a 2004 epidemiological study in Taiwan were enrolled. After a 5.5-year follow-up period, the remission rates of the children of each age group were evaluated, and the corresponding treatment methods were employed daily. Furthermore, the major risk factors that influenced the remission rates in these children were investigated. RESULTS The overall remission rate was 93.1% among all age groups, and the median age of remission was 9.9 years (95% CI 9.5-10.2 years). Comparing the previous and after results of this study, the treatment methods utilized by the parents in response to enuresis were significantly different. More parents chose combination therapy and sought medical attention as the children grew older, particularly the parents of children with severe NE. Few parents still continued to use punishment method. A Cox proportional hazards regression model revealed that girls, young children, those with low enuresis frequency, and light sleepers had higher remission rates than did their counterparts. CONCLUSION Parents' attitudes towards enuresis influence their choice of therapy for their children. In most cases, parents chose a combination of therapies, particularly combining limited fluid intake and regular voiding. Only 37 (9.1%) children received medicine. The older the enuretic child, the more likely the parents were to seek medical treatment for their children. Enuresis might disappear spontaneously but not always. A small proportion of children will continue to wet till adulthood. The treatment of NE at this age would be challenging. Children who were deep sleepers or affected by severe enuresis had a low probability of achieving dryness. However, girls and young children had a higher probability of achieving remission than did their counterparts.

Abstract
Nocturnal enuresis often causes considerable distress or functional impairment to patient and their parents necessitating a multidisciplinary approach from paediatrician, paediatric nephrologist, urologists and psychiatrist. Mechanisms of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis are mainly nocturnal polyuria, bladder overactivity and failure to awaken from sleep in response to bladder sensations. Goal oriented and etiology wise treatment includes simple behavioral intervention, conditioning alarm regimen and pharmacotherapy with desmopressin, imipramine and anticholinergic drugs. Symptoms often recurs requiring change over or combination of different modes of
treatment.

Abstract
Purpose: Purpose of this study was to evaluate the long term efficacy of repetitive sacral root magnetic stimulation (rSMS) in patients with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE). Methods: Forty four patients were randomized to receive either sham or real repetitive sacral root magnetic stimulation (rSMS; 15 Hz with a total of 1500 pulses/session) for 10 sessions. Evaluation was performed before starting treatment, immediately after the 5th and 10th treatment session, and 1 month later, using frequency of enuresis/week, visual analogue scale (VAS) and quality of life as outcome measures. Resting and active motor thresholds of gastrocnemius muscles were measured before and after the end of sessions. Results: Both treatment and control groups were comparable for baseline measures of frequency of enuresis, and VAS. The mean number of wet nights/week was significantly reduced in patients who received real rSMS. This improvement was maintained 1 month after the end of treatment. Patients receiving real-rSMS also reported an improvement in VAS ratings and quality of life. A significant reduction of resting motor threshold was recorded after rSMS in the real group while no such changes were observed in the sham group. Conclusion: These findings suggest that rSMS has potential as an adjuvant treatment for MNE and deserves further study.

The pathophysiology of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis with special emphasis on the circadian rhythm of renal physiology. Eur J Pediatr 2016; 175:747-54.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Nocturnal polyuria in monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE) has so far mainly been attributed to a disturbed circadian rhythm of renal water handling. Low vasopressin levels overnight correlate with absent maximal concentrating activity, resulting in an increased nocturnal diuresis with low urinary osmolality. Therefore, treatment with desmopressin is a rational choice. Unfortunately, 20 to 60 % of children with monosymptomatic enuresis are desmopressin-resistant. There is increasing evidence that other disturbed circadian rhythms might play a role in nocturnal polyuria. This review focuses on renal aspects in the pathophysiology of nocturnal polyuria in MNE, with special emphasis on circadian rhythms. Articles related to renal circadian rhythms and enuresis were searched through the PubMed library with the goal of providing a concise review. CONCLUSION Nocturnal polyuria can only partially be explained by blunted circadian rhythm of vasopressin secretion. Other alterations in the intrinsic renal circadian clock system also seem to be involved, especially in desmopressin-resistant enuresis. WHAT IS KNOWN • Disturbance in the circadian rhythm of arginine vasopressin secretion is related to nocturnal polyuria in children with enuresis. • Desmopressin is recommended as a treatment for monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis, working as a vasopressin analogue acting on V2 receptors in the collecting ducts of the kidney. What is New: • Other renal circadian rhythms might play a role in nocturnal polyuria, especially in desmopressin-resistant case.

Immediate 1-month efficacy of desmopressin and anticholinergic combination therapy versus desmopressin monotherapy in the treatment of pediatric enuresis: A meta-analysis. J Pediatr Urol 2016; 12:156.e1-9. [PMID: 26922714 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2015.12.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2015] [Accepted: 12/17/2015] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have proposed the combination of desmopressin and anticholinergic as a treatment regimen to address the pathophysiology of polyuria and bladder dysfunction in pediatric enuresis. However, the available literature is inconsistent with regards to the immediate 1-month efficiency of the combination therapy in the treatment for pediatric enuresis. OBJECTIVE The aim was to assess the immediate 1-month efficacy and safety of desmopressin and anticholinergic agent combination therapy versus desmopressin monotherapy in the treatment of pediatric enuresis using meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). STUDY DESIGN Systematic literature acquisition was carried out on electronic medical databases up to April 2015. RCTs relevant to the topic were critically appraised. Dichotomous data of the 1-month post-treatment response rate (defined as ≥90% reduction of wet nights) were extracted for calculation of the risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). The Mantel-Haenszel method with the random effects model was used to pool effect estimates. Inter-study heterogeneity and publication bias were assessed. Subgroup analysis was done for the desmopressin treatment-naive versus treatment-resistant groups: PROSPERO (CRD42015017922). RESULTS Four RCTs of good methodological quality without heterogeneity were included for meta-analysis. The pooled effect estimates showed that combination therapy was associated with a significantly better immediate 1-month response rate than desmopressin monotherapy. Subgroup analysis showed a greater immediate 1-month response rate among desmopressin-resistant patients than treatment-naive patients. No severe adverse events were noted among combination therapy treated groups. DISCUSSION The limitation of the current meta-analyses is the small sample size, albeit with high-quality studies pooled for effect estimation. Despite the limitation, the study results were able to consistently illustrate a large treatment effect of combination therapy among desmopressin treatment-resistant patients. It was consistent with the literature review of retrospective and non-comparative studies by Alloussi et al. (2011), who summarized a similar impressive treatment outcome. However, due to the low level of evidence available at the time of their study, only a grade B-C recommendation was given to combination therapy as an approach for second-line treatment. This study also summarized that combination therapy was well tolerated and similar to desmopressin monotherapy. CONCLUSION This study was able to summarize the immediate 1-month efficacy of combination therapy compared with desmopressin monotherapy in the treatment of pediatric enuresis. For both treatment-naive and desmopressin-resistant pediatric enuresis, combination therapy of desmopressin with an anticholinergic agent is well tolerated and resulted in a significantly better immediate 1-month response rate than desmopressin monotherapy.

Abstract
Intermittent incontinence of urine in a sleeping child who has previously been dry for less than 6 months without any other lower urinary tract symptoms is considered to be primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE). Although, most children outgrow PMNE with age, the psychological impact on the child warrants parental education and patient motivation and treatment. Motivational therapy, alarm therapy and drug therapy are the mainstay of treatment. Motivational and alarm therapy have better success rates than drug therapy alone. Desmopressin is the commonly used first-line drug and is best for short-term relief. Other drugs such as anti-cholinergics, imipramine and sertraline are used in resistant cases. This review focuses on the assessment and treatment of PMNE.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the efficacy of topical use of Matricaria recutita L oil in the treatment of enuresis in children. METHODS Eighty patients diagnosed as monosymptomatic nocturnal or daytime enuresis were allocated to receive Matricaria recutita L (chamomile) oil or placebo topically for 6 weeks in a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial with a parallel design. Patients were evaluated prior to and following 8 weeks of the intervention in terms of frequency of enuresis and any observed adverse events. RESULTS The mean frequency of enuresis at the first, second, and third 2 weeks was lower in the intervention group compared with the placebo group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < .001, P = .03, and P < .001, respectively). There was no report of any adverse event in the study groups. CONCLUSION The findings of this study showed that the topical use of (chamomile) oil can decrease the frequency of nocturia in children with monosymptomatic nocturnal or daytime enuresis.

No effect of basic bladder advice in enuresis: A randomized controlled trial. J Pediatr Urol 2015; 11:153.e1-5.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are two firstline, evidence-based treatments available for nocturnal enuresis: desmopressin and the enuresis alarm. Prior to use of these therapies, international experts usually recommend that the children also be given basic bladder training during the daytime. The rationale behind this recommendation is that daytime bladder training or urotherapy, is a mainstay in the treatment of daytime incontinence caused by detrusor overactivity. Still, there is, as yet, no firm evidence that daytime bladder training is useful against nocturnal enuresis. AIM To explore whether basic bladder advice has any effect against nocturnal enuresis. STUDY DESIGN The study was prospective, randomized, and controlled. The evaluated intervention was bladder advice, given in accordance with ICCS guidelines and focused on regular voiding, sound voiding posture, and sufficient fluid intake. Forty children aged 6 years or more with previously untreated enuresis, but no daytime incontinence, were randomized (20 in each group) to receive either first basic bladder advice for 1 month and then alarm therapy (group A) or just the alarm therapy (group B). Based on power calculations, the minimum number of children required in each treatment arm was 15. RESULTS The basic bladder advice did not reduce the enuresis frequency in group A (p = 0.089) and the end result after alarm therapy did not differ between the two groups (p = 0.74) (see Table). Only four children in group A had a partial or full response to bladder training, and two of these children relapsed immediately during alarm therapy. DISCUSSION This was the first study to evaluate, in a prospective, randomized manner, the value of daytime basic bladder training as a treatment of enuresis. It was found that the treatment neither resulted in a significant reduction in the number of wet nights, nor did it improve the success of subsequent alarm therapy. CONCLUSIONS The recommendation that all children with enuresis be given bladder training as a firstline therapy can no longer be supported. Instead, we recommend that treatment of these children start with the enuresis alarm or desmopressin without delay.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The main objective was to compare children with frequent enuresis (FE) and children with infrequent enuresis (IE) using anamnestic data and variables related to bladder and kidney function. A secondary aim was to look at the group of children who wet their beds every single night, a phenomenon we chose to call constant enuresis (CE). SUBJECTS AND METHODS The parents recorded the number of wet and dry nights for a period of 14 days, and measured the voided volumes as well as nocturnal urine production for 48 h. History data relevant to bladder and bowel function was also recorded. RESULTS The children could be grouped as follows: IE, n = 14; FE, n = 18; and CE, n = 22. The children with IE were slightly older than the other groups, IE mean 7.57; FE mean 6.22; CE, mean 6.56 (p = 0.004). When comparing the groups in terms of the measured parameters, only one significant difference was found: the FE group had larger average daytime voided volumes, but only when the first morning void was included. The only significantly differing anamnestic variable was previous daytime incontinence, which was more common among the children in the IE group. CONCLUSIONS When comparing children with varying enuresis severity, no major differences regarding bladder function and urine production were found. Furthermore, children with infrequent enuresis tend to be slightly older when they seek medical help.

Abstract
The International Children's Continence Society (ICCS) has undertaken an enormous effort to standardize both the terminology and management of various aspects of incontinence in children, including enuresis, bladder overactivity, dysfunctional voiding and psychological comorbidities. A number of guidelines have been published to aid those involved in the care of children with lower urinary tract symptoms. This review addresses a number of recommended diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, including urotherapy and pharmacological treatment, with emphasis on a focused medical history, information acquired from bladder diaries and uroflow evaluations. The major role of urotherapy is underlined with supportive pharmacotherapy, when indicated. The article provides both a summary of ICCS guidelines and a brief review of recently published papers related to the contemporary management of childhood incontinence, a health issue still underestimated by both the child's caregivers and healthcare providers.

Abstract
AIM According to a number of small case series, orthodontic treatment may have anti-enuretic effects. Thus, we evaluated whether widening of the palate can alleviate enuresis and whether prognostic information can be gained from examining children's nocturnal respiration and nasal airway dimensions. METHODS Children with therapy-resistant enuresis underwent polysomnography, focusing on nocturnal respiration, and had their nasal airways examined. Rapid maxillary expansion was performed, widening the maxilla by approximately 0.5 cm. The dental appliance was removed after 6 months. Enuresis frequency was evaluated four times: at baseline, with the orthodontic apparatus in situ, after completed maxillary expansion and 1 year post-treatment. RESULTS Of the 34 children recruited, one dropped out due to oral discomfort. The numbers of wet nights per week on the four assessment occasions were 5.48 ± 1.48, 5.12 ± 1.73, 3.09 ± 2.49 and 2.63 ± 2.81; p < 0.001. The proportions of responders, intermediate responders and non-responders during treatment were 21.2%, 27.3% and 51.5%, respectively. Responders were found to have a lower enuresis frequency at baseline (p = 0.001) and to have larger nasal airway dimensions (p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Orthodontic widening of the palate may be curative in a subgroup of children with therapy-resistant enuresis.

Abstract
AIM Although there is a known association between enuresis and snoring or sleep apnoeas, respiration during sleep has not been thoroughly studied in enuretic children. This study was performed with the aim of filling this gap in our knowledge. METHODS Thirty-four children with therapy-resistant enuresis, but no history of heavy snoring or sleep apnoeas, underwent sleep registrations, including standard electroencephalography (EEG) and electrooculography (EOG) as well as registration of oxygen saturation, respiratory effort and nasal air flow. To assess nasal airway patency, rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry were performed before and after nasal decongestion. RESULTS The children were found to have a higher than expected apnoea hypopnoea index (AHI), due to a high frequency of hypopnoeas. They were also noted to have a tendency for respiratory arousals. Standard polysomnographic variables were normal. CONCLUSION We provide baseline data of nocturnal respiration in enuretic children. The children were found to have subclinical signs of disordered respiration. This may be one of the explanations for their high arousal thresholds.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To better understand parental beliefs regarding the etiology and treatment of nocturnal enuresis (NE). METHODS A self-administered survey queried parental NE beliefs including perceived etiologies and home behavioral treatments. We assessed for associations between demographic characteristics and propensity to seek medical care for NE. RESULTS Of 216 respondents, 78% were female. The most common causes for NE reported were: deep sleeper (56%), unknown (39%), and laziness (26%). Popular home behavioral therapies included: void prior to sleep (77%) and limiting fluid intake at night (71%). Few reported they would use a bedwetting alarm (6%). Fifty-five percent reported they would seek medical care for NE and 28% reported awareness of effective treatments. On multivariable analysis, females (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.04-5.0) and those with graduate level education (OR 4.8, 95% CI 1.5-15.7) were more likely to seek medical care for their child with NE. CONCLUSIONS General parental knowledge of the causes and effective treatments for NE is lacking. Only 55% reported they would seek medical care for their child with NE and only 28% reported awareness of effective treatments. Counseling should focus on dispelling common misconceptions about causes and treatments of NE and focus on proven effective treatments.

Abstract
Context Nocturnal enuresis has undoubtedly occurred since man's earliest days and the first references are found in the Ebers papyri of 1550 BC. The purpose of this study is to review of Rhazes opinion about diagnosis and treatment of nocturnal enuresis and compare his belief and clinical methods with modern medical practice. Evidence Acquisition In the review study we searched all available and reliable electronic and paper sources using appropriate keywords about the views of Rhazes, and compared them with recent medical evidence about diagnosis and treatment of nocturnal in medication. Results Our findings proved that Rhazes described the symptoms, signs, and the treatment of nocturnal enuresis in accordance with contemporary medicine. Conclusions A review of opinion Rhazes and other ancient Islamic medical textbooks on nocturnal enuresis reveals that medical practice in those days was comparable to modern medicine yet avoiding the side effects that are commonly experienced with the modern medical approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine whether or not a urodynamic study (UDS) is beneficial for management of pediatric nocturnal enuresis (NE), especially in pharmacoresistant monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PRMNE) or severe non-monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (NMNE) patients. METHODS Children with PRMNE or severe NMNE who underwent a UDS for the process of NE treatment were retrospectively reviewed. The UDS findings of patients and treatment outcomes of subsequent tailored therapies according to the UDS findings were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 80 children (50 boys and 30 girls, mean age 8.4 ± 2.2 years), 19 of which were diagnosed with PRMNE and 61 of which were diagnosed with NMNE, were included in the final analysis. Of the 19 PRMNE children, 12 (63.2%) demonstrated abnormal UDS findings. Ten demonstrated detrusor overactivity (DO) with or without decreased cystometric bladder capacity (CBC); the treatment outcomes markedly improved in all of the children after anticholinergics were added to the initial desmopressin therapy. Biofeedback was found to be helpful for two children with detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia. All of the total 61 children with NMNE demonstrated abnormal urodynamic findings of DO with or without decreased CBC, and 42 (68.9%) achieved more than partial response (> 50% decrease in the number of wet nights) when given a combination therapy of anticholinergics and desmopressin. CONCLUSIONS The urodynamic findings were helpful for guiding children with PRMNE in the proper choice of further treatment strategies. A routine UDS should not be recommended prior to a first-line combination treatment in children with NMNE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlations between ultrasonographic bladder wall thickness (BWTh) and urodynamic study (UDS) findings and estimate the diagnostic value of BWTh for prediction of DO in children with monosymptomatic and non-monosymptomatic primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE). PATIENTS AND METHODS Ultrasound measurements (US) and UDS were performed on a total of 100 children, 50 consecutive boys and 50 consecutive girls, 6-14 years old, with monosymptomatic PNE (group 1, n = 75), and non-monosymptomatic PNE (group 2, n = 25). The US Protocol was specially designed for the evaluation of BWTh. All children underwent urodynamic studies for detailed assessment of any underlying bladder overactivity. Findings were compared between the two groups of patients. RESULTS The mean BWTh was increased in the group 2 compared to the group 1 (mean ± SD = 2.4 ± 0.41 mm, mean ± SD = 1.52 ± 0.18 mm respectively, p < 0.05). Detrusor overactivity (DO) occurred in 23/75 (30.5%) children of the group 1 and in 17/25 (68%) children of the group 2 (p < 0.05). Comparing the BWTh between the two groups of patients and the UDS findings, it was found that BWTh was significantly correlated with DO(r = 0.92 and p < 0.001), children with DO presented significantly increased BWTh compared to those without (mean ± SD = 2.1 ± 0.4 mm, mean ± SD = 1.5 ± 0.4 mm respectively, p < 0.05) and the maximum amplitude of DO occurred in 20 children who had non-monosymptomatic PNE. CONCLUSIONS We suggest that BWTh could be applied as a screening tool to identify the cases of DO between the children with PNE. Children with non-monosymptomatic PNE presented increased BWTh and higher percentages of DO.
