Urol Ann 2024; 16:81-86. [PMID: 38415232 PMCID: PMC10896321 DOI: 10.4103/ua.ua_90_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2023] [Revised: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 02/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Nocturnal enuresis (NE) in children is a very common problem managed in pediatric urology. In this study, we present the prevalence of NE in children in Aseer region in Saudi Arabia. Methodology This study was conducted as a descriptive cross-sectional survey to estimate the prevalence of NE among 555 Saudi children aged 5-15 years in Aseer region in Saudi Arabia. Data collection was done through a questionnaire, which included questions on sociodemographic data, personal knowledge, enuresis-related characteristics, risk factors, and management modalities. Results This study identified a prevalence of enuresis of 24% of the study population, most of whom were boys. The majority of the parents had a high educational level. Clinical characteristics of the study population showed: 9% have a family history of NE, 2.2% have a history of neurological disorder, 10.0% have a history of urinary tract infections, 66.8% have associated daytime urgency, 67% have urine-holding behavior, and 19.5% have associated daytime enuresis of the study population. Conclusion Our study found that 24% of children in the Aseer region in Saudi Arabia have NE. Our study finding helps us to understand the prevalence of NE in Aseer region in Saudi Arabia, and this can be applied to other regions in the kingdom. Furthermore, this finding helps us to understand the need to raise awareness in the community about NE and the need to educate the nonpediatric urologist health-care provider about the best management practice for NE.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS Overactive bladder (OAB) and urinary incontinence (UI) are prevalent in older women. We investigated relations of toileting behaviors and urinary urge cues to OAB and UI in women ≥ 65 years. We tested mediation hypotheses that toileting behaviors lead to higher sensitivity to urinary urge cues (the mediator), which leads to both OAB and UI. METHODS An e-panel was recruited to respond to an electronic survey that included demographic information, Urinary Cues Scale version 2, Toileting Behaviors-Women's Elimination Behaviors (TB-WEB) scale, and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Forms for Urinary Incontinence (ICIQ-SF-UI) and Overactive Bladder (ICIQ-SF-OAB). Descriptive statistics were conducted; correlation matrices were created to explore relationships among major variables. Regression analyses were conducted to test our mediation hypotheses. RESULTS There were 338 respondents with average age 70.9 (SD + 5.55) years. Most were white, overweight or obese, and had UI. Urinary urge cues fully mediated the relationship of TB-WEB with OAB. Urinary urge cues partially mediated the relationship of TB-WEB with UI; the direct effect of toileting behaviors on UI remained significant. Age and body mass index had significant partial correlations with UI but not with OAB. DISCUSSION Toileting behaviors appear to contribute to sensitivity to urinary cues, which are related to both OAB and UI. Toileting behaviors have indirect effects on OAB and both indirect and direct effects on UI. Interventions to change toileting behaviors and extinguish urinary cues are needed. CONCLUSIONS Behavioral and conditioning factors contribute to UI in older women.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Women with genitourinary pain, a hallmark symptom of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), are at a two- to four-fold risk for depression as compared to women without genitourinary pain. Despite the pervasive impact of IC/BPS on psychological health, there is a paucity of empirical research on understanding the relation between IC/BPS and psychological distress. It has been previously reported that women with overactive bladder use increased compensatory coping and these behaviors are associated with heightened anxiety and stress. However, it is unknown whether a similar pattern emerges in IC/BPS populations, as ICBPS and OAB share many similar urinary symptoms. The current study examined the relationship between compensatory coping behaviors and symptoms of psychological distress in a sample of women with IC/BPS to inform understanding of risk and potential mechanisms for intervention. METHOD This was a secondary analysis of an observational cohort of women with bladder symptoms. Fifty-five adult women with IC/BPS completed validated assessments of genitourinary symptoms, emotional distress, and bladder coping behaviors. Five compensatory coping behaviors were summed to create a total Bladder Coping Score. Linear regression examined associations between individual coping behaviors, total compensatory coping scores, and other risk variables. RESULTS Most (93%) participants reported use of at least one compensatory coping behavior. Age, education level, history of vaginal birth, and symptom severity were all associated with greater compensatory coping scores, and anxiety was not. Beyond the influence of symptom severity, higher levels of depression were significantly associated with higher compensatory coping scores. DISCUSSION Greater compensatory coping was associated with increased depression but not anxiety, suggesting different profiles of coping and psychological distress may exist among different types of bladder dysfunction.

Abstract
AIMS There is little information on how often or within what contexts individuals with OAB use compensatory behaviors ("coping") to manage symptoms. We sought to examine how frequently women with OAB report using coping behaviors and whether these are associated with psychosocial factors. METHODS One hundred twenty adult women with OAB completed the OAB questionnaire (OAB-q), ICIQ-FLUTS questionnaire, PROMIS Anxiety and Depression, Perceived Stress Scale, patient perception of bladder condition, and demographic and clinical data. Responses from five items from the OAB-q Quality-of-Life scale asking about coping with OAB symptoms (i.e., "compensatory coping behaviors") were summed to generate a total Coping Score. Linear regression was used to identify associations between individual coping behaviors, total Coping Scores, and exposure variables. RESULTS Most (88%) subjects reported using at least one compensatory coping behavior at least "a little of the time," with "locating the nearest restroom in a new place" the most frequent. Higher BMI, lower education, using OAB medication, and urgency incontinence as well as urinary symptom severity were all associated with higher coping scores. Beyond the influence of OAB severity, higher anxiety (β = 0.15, 95% CI [0.05-0.26], p = 0.004) and stress (β = 0.16 [0.03-0.25], p = 0.02) were significantly associated with higher total coping scores, although depression was not. CONCLUSIONS Compensatory bladder behaviors (coping) were common in women with OAB and were associated with greater urinary symptom severity and higher anxiety and stress. Further study is needed to understand how coping behaviors and psychosocial factors relate, as these may represent important opportunities for interventions.

The Effect of Symptomatic Stress Urinary Incontinence on Catheterization Rates After Intradetrusor OnabotulinumtoxinA Injections. Female Pelvic Med Reconstr Surg 2021; 27:676-680.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether catheterization rates after intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injection for nonneurogenic overactive bladder and urgency incontinence differ between women with urgency urinary incontinence only and women with urgency-predominant mixed urinary incontinence. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of patients that underwent intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injection of 100 U for nonneurogenic urgency urinary incontinence. The primary outcome was the difference in catheterization rates between women with urgency urinary incontinence alone compared with women with urgency-predominant mixed urinary incontinence. Descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed. RESULTS Of the 177 women included in the final analysis, 105 had urgency urinary incontinence and 72 had urgency-predominant mixed urinary incontinence. The overall catheterization rate after onabotulinumtoxinA injection was 11.3%, with significantly fewer women with mixed urinary incontinence requiring catheterization when compared with women with urgency urinary incontinence alone (4.2% vs 16.2%; P = 0.03), despite an older population (P = 0.02). Patient-reported improvement (P = 0.37) and decision to continue onabotulinumtoxinA treatments (P = 0.89) were similar between groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that women with mixed urinary incontinence had significantly lower odds of requiring catheterization after onabotulinumtoxinA injections than women with urgency urinary incontinence alone (odds ratio, 0.16; 95% confidence interval, 0.04-0.67; P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest that the presence of symptomatic stress urinary incontinence is associated with lower rates of catheterization after intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA, but does not compromise efficacy of treatment for urgency-predominant mixed urinary incontinence.
