Does the development and use of modern disposable diapers affect bladder control? A systematic review. J Pediatr Urol 2021; 17:463-471. [PMID: 34099398 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2021.05.007] [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: 03/05/2021] [Revised: 05/05/2021] [Accepted: 05/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE During the last decades, the development of the modern disposable diaper (DD) has changed the way we diaper our children, as they are safe, easy to use, comfortable and easy to dispose, compared to cloth diapers used earlier. Concurrently, the age of initiating toilet training (TT) is rising. We aimed to investigate the connection between DD usage and the tendencies seen in TT and childhood urinary incontinence, with specific interest on studies evaluating the effect of diapering on enuresis. STUDY DESIGN A literature search was conducted in PubMed and Embase. A systematic literature search was conducted, revealing 309 studies in Embase and 269 studies in Pubmed. After removing duplicates, 400 studies were eligible for screening. All abstracts were screened, and 12 relevant abstracts where identified, but only eight studies were eligible. No prospective intervention studies specifically evaluating the effect of diaper on enuresis were identified. Literature on TT and diapers in general was identified using the respective search terms on both databases. RESULTS The eight studies identified showed a tendency towards diaper use being related to a delay on obtaining continence in children, but no secure conclusions can be made, as the literature is inadequate. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Based on the available literature no secure conclusions can be drawn although an association is suggested. In order to evaluate the effect of diapers on incontinence, prospective randomized studies are needed.

Low compliance contribute to insufficient Desmopressin response of primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis and the role of voiding school. BMC Pediatr 2021; 21:244. [PMID: 34016082 PMCID: PMC8136157 DOI: 10.1186/s12887-021-02714-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2021] [Accepted: 05/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the impact of compliance on the therapeutic effects of Desmopressin, as well as the importance of establishing the voiding school for low-compliance children in primary monosymptomatic enuresis treatment. METHODS Eighty-nine patients with primary monosymptomatic enuresis treated with Desmopressin were observed during the 2017-2020 at University Children's Hospital Belgrade, Serbia. The average patients age was 7.7 ± 2.4 years; 65 (73%) were boys and 24 (27%) % were girls. After the 3 months of Desmopressin treatment, the effect of therapy was evaluated according to the compliance. After the treatment, low-compliance patients and their parents were suggested to visit a voiding school. RESULTS A significant decrease in the median enuresis frequency was noticed during the Desmopressin treatment (25.0 (20.0-26.0) vs 10.0 (2.0-17.0) per month, before vs after treatment, respectively) (p < 0.001). Patients with low compliance had a poorer response to Desmopressin (p < 0.001). An median enuresis reduction in the good compliance group was 92.3% (86.7 -95%), while in the low compliance group was 28.6% (16.7-43.3%). After attending voiding school, there was a significant increase in compliance (p < 0.001), associated with an median percent decrease in enuresis of 84.0% (75.0-95.5%) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Compliance considerably influences the beneficial effects of Desmopressin. Patients with poor therapeutic effects should be evaluated for compliance and introduced to voiding school.

Management and treatment of nocturnal enuresis-an updated standardization document from the International Children's Continence Society. J Pediatr Urol 2020; 16:10-19. [PMID: 32278657 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2019.12.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 92] [Impact Index Per Article: 23.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2019] [Accepted: 12/30/2019] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
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.
