What is Known: • Desmopressin has been used for pediatric nocturnal enuresis for decades • Recent evidence suggests a sex difference in desmopressin sensitivity in adults What is New: • For the first time, desmopressin prescription practices in nocturnal enuresis are documented for an entire country • A higher proportion of girls than boys received a low dose of desmopressin, consistent with the sex difference in sensitivity reported in adults.
