The Clinical Features and Predictive Factors of Nocturnal Enuresis in Adult Women

Sleep-Related Urologic Dysfunction

This article reports on the epidemiology, prevalence, and physiopathology of sleep-related urinary dysfunction, a new syndromic category proposed by the recently revised ICSD-3-TR classification. Sleep enuresis, whether primary or secondary, monosymptomatic or plurisymptomatic, will be reviewed in terms of risk factors, comorbidity, and diagnostic and therapeutic indications. A definition of nocturia and its impact on patients' health, quality of life, and mortality will follow. Finally, the impact of urge incontinence on various medical and neurologic disorders will be discussed. Special emphasis will be placed on the possible association of this parasomnia with several sleep disorders and poor, fragmented sleep.
