The goal of a new study published in BMJ Paediatrics Open was to determine the prevalence of paediatric nocturnal enuresis in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. This was a cross-sectional study which utilized a pretested questionnaire in 700 children, 5-11 years of age, attending three different schools in Santo Domingo. Overall, 655 children completed the questionnaire. The findings indicated that 183 children had nocturnal enuresis among which 88 were boys and 95 were girls. However, only 11% of children with enuresis sought medical help. The prevalence of nocturnal enuresis was 27.9%. No statistical significant correlation was detected between the condition and gender, order in the family, constipation or breast feeding. On the other hand, age, deep sleep, and family history of enuresis were strongly associated with nocturnal enuresis. The prevalence of nocturnal enuresis in the region was higher compared to certain Asian countries. It was stated that is nocturnal enuresis an important problem in pediatric population, but very few children receive treatment. Nocturnal enuresis condition is not associated with constipation.
