To study outcomes of early potty training in a population of healthy children with a tradition of early potty training and to compare these findings with a group of children to whom potty training was applied later.
Mothers and their 47 healthy children in Vietnam participated in this longitudinal study. The voiding pattern and emptying ability were followed by the 4-h voiding observation method from 3 months to 3 years of age. A comparison is made with a group of 57 Swedish children investigated in a similar manner.
In the group of Vietnamese children, 89% were on daily potty training at the age of 6 months. At the age of 24 months, potty training was complete for 98%. In the Swedish group, just a few (5%) had started daily potty training by the age of 24 months (p < 0.001). The Vietnamese group had fewer voidings and lower voided volumes than the Swedish group. In the Vietnamese children, bladder emptying could be regarded as having been completed, with no residual urine at 9 months, compared with the Swedish group, which first showed complete emptying at the age of 36 months.
Potty training performed daily affects the emptying ability positively. In the Vietnamese group, no residual urine was found at the age of 9 months. These results differ significantly from those of the group of Swedish children.
研究在有早期如厕训练传统的健康儿童群体中早期如厕训练的结果，并将这些发现与后期进行如厕训练的儿童群体进行比较。
越南的母亲及其 47 名健康儿童参与了这项纵向研究。从 3 个月到 3 岁，通过 4 小时排尿观察法跟踪排尿模式和排空能力。将其与以类似方式进行调查的 57 名瑞典儿童组进行比较。
在越南儿童组中，89%的儿童在 6 个月大时开始每天进行如厕训练。24 个月大时，98%的儿童已经完成了如厕训练。在瑞典组中，只有少数（5%）儿童在 24 个月大时开始每天进行如厕训练（p < 0.001）。与瑞典儿童组相比，越南儿童组的排尿次数较少，排尿量也较低。在越南儿童中，9 个月时膀胱排空能力可视为已完成，无残余尿，而瑞典儿童组则在 36 个月时才首次显示完全排空。
每天进行如厕训练会对排空能力产生积极影响。在越南儿童组中，9 个月时没有残余尿。这些结果与瑞典儿童组的结果有显著差异。
