Behavior and bladder disturbance of enuretic children: a rational classification of a common disorder / David SHAFFER in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 26-6 (December 1994)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 26-6 (December 1994) . - p.781-792 Titre : Behavior and bladder disturbance of enuretic children: a rational classification of a common disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : David SHAFFER, Auteur ; Barbara HEDGE, Auteur ; Andrew GARDNER, Auteur Année de publication : 1984 Article en page(s) : p.781-792 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A group of 126 enuretic children were evaluated as to their psychiatric and neurological states, functional bladder volume and environmental circumstances. Few differences were found when the children were grouped according to presence or absence of social disadvantage, the presence of a family history of enuresis, or the nature of onset of enuresis. No classification differentially predicted response to treatment. However, children with an associated psychiatric disorder had significantly lower bladder volumes and had more developmental delays. It is concluded that the classifications of primary or secondary enuresis, or familial or non-familial, etc., are of little practical value. When psychiatric disorder is found, it is probably related to other constitutional abnormalities. Rather than there being two separate groups of enuretic children with behavior disorder and low functional bladder volume, these two abnormalities are found in conjunction.
