| dc.description.abstract | Abstract: Enuresis is a common pediatric condition and there are different treatment options. This study aimed to evaluate treatment options for enuresis in a sample of the childand adolescent psychiatry clinic. The data and treatment results of 98 patients (mean age: 10.38±2.15 years, range=6-16 years) diagnosed with enuresis between 1 May2015 and 1 October 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. We found that 57 of the patients had previously applied to the hospital for enuresis, and 14 of them have appliedto child and adolescent psychiatry, 10 of them to pediatric surgery, 20 of them to other branches of pediatrics, and 13 of them to the urology clinic. In previous hospitalapplications, behavioral treatment only had been applied to 40.4% of the patients, and pharmacotherapy had been applied in 59.6% of the patients. On the other hand,in the child and ado-lescent psychiatry clinic, 26.5% of the patients received behavioral treatment only, and 73.5% used drugs along with behavioral treatment, and themost frequently preferred drugs were imipramine (oftenest) and desmopressin. Also, the rates of psychiatric comorbidity in those who received medical treatment weresignificantly higher than those who treated behavioral treatment only. In conclusion, this study revealed that different clinical branches apply different treatment approachesto enuresis. In child and adolescent psychiatry, imipramine was the most commonly used agent in medical treatment, and this has been attributed to the high rate ofpsychiatric comorbidity | en_US |
