This study aims to investigate the prevalence of voiding disorders and identify the associated risk factors for school-age children in East Anatolia, Turkey.
We randomly selected six primary schools in Malatya in East Anatolia, and 907 students from 6 to 14 years old were involved. Data were obtained using the dysfunctional voiding and incontinence scoring system (DVISS) scale, and children who scored 8.5 or above on that scale were considered as having voiding disorders.
Voiding disorders were detected in 175 (19.2%) of 907 children. One hundred and fifty-two (16.8%) had day-time urinary incontinence, and 131 (14.5%) had night-time incontinence. The findings showed a significant relationship between voiding disorder and daytime/night-time incontinence, and fecal incontinence. Voiding disorders decreased as the age increased. There was a significant relationship between voiding disorder and positive family history, and the quality of life of these children was significantly affected.
Voiding disorder is a common disease among school-age children. By identifying and treating voiding disorders and related risk factors in children in the early period, these children can be protected from possible medical or social complications.
本研究旨在调查土耳其东安纳托利亚地区学龄儿童排尿障碍的患病率，并确定相关的危险因素。
我们在东安纳托利亚的马拉蒂亚随机选择了六所小学，共有 907 名 6 至 14 岁的学生参与。研究使用了排尿功能障碍和尿失禁评分系统（DVISS）量表来获取数据，得分在 8.5 或以上的儿童被认为患有排尿障碍。
907 名儿童中，175 名（19.2%）存在排尿障碍。其中 152 名（16.8%）白天有尿失禁，131 名（14.5%）夜间有尿失禁。研究结果表明，排尿障碍与日间/夜间尿失禁和粪便失禁之间存在显著关系。随着年龄的增长，排尿障碍的发生率降低。排尿障碍与阳性家族史之间存在显著关系，这些儿童的生活质量受到显著影响。
排尿障碍是学龄儿童的常见疾病。通过早期识别和治疗儿童的排尿障碍及相关危险因素，可以保护这些儿童免受可能的医疗或社会并发症的影响。
