Abstract
To identify risk factors associated with childhood enuresis. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 146 children aged 6 to 13 years diagnosed with enuresis at Anhui Province Children's Hospital between June 2020 and June 2023. Children were categorized based on bedwetting frequency: those with less frequent episodes (once a week to twice a month) were placed in the mild group (60 cases), and those with frequent episodes (two or more times per week) were placed in the severe group (86 cases). We compared demographic data, family histories, and personal characteristics between the groups and performed logistic regression to determine significant risk factors. The analysis revealed that a stubborn personality, nocturnal polyuria, sleep-wake disorders, and bladder dysfunction significantly increased the risk of enuresis (P < 0.05). These findings underscore the importance of a holistic approach in evaluating psychological aspects, nocturnal urination patterns, sleep quality, and bladder health in managing enuresis. The study identifies stubborn personality, nocturnal polyuria, sleep-wake disorders, and bladder dysfunction as independent risk factors for childhood enuresis. Understanding these factors is crucial for developing targeted interventions that can enhance the management and outcomes of enuresis. Future research should explore the interrelationships among these factors to refine preventive and therapeutic strategies for early childhood enuresis.
