Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how well doctors agreed on test results for kids with bladder problems during a research project in Europe.
- They tested 97 kids with one kind of bladder issue and 105 kids with another, checking their test scores before and after treatment.
- The results showed that doctors didn't agree much on one type of score but were okay with another type, highlighting that it's important to review tests without bias.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare how certain medical conditions in kids, like urge syndrome and dysfunctional voiding, respond to different treatments.
- 97 kids with urge syndrome and 105 with dysfunctional voiding were given treatments and observed through special tests before and after.
- The results showed that changes in bladder activity didn't really help predict how well the treatments would work, suggesting that standard treatments are enough for most kids.
Purpose: We assessed the relationship between general joint hypermobility (GJH) and lower urinary tract symptoms presenting as nonneurogenic bladder sphincter dysfunction in children.
Materials And Methods: Parents of 89 children 5 to 12 years old who were diagnosed with GJH according to the Beighton and Bulbena scales were asked to fill out a questionnaire concerning symptoms of nonneurogenic bladder sphincter dysfunction, namely daytime urinary incontinence, nighttime urinary incontinence, urinary tract infection, constipation and fecal soiling. The control group comprised 116 healthy schoolchildren 5 to 12 years old.
