- Nocturnal enuresis (NE) is a condition affecting children over 5, characterized by involuntary urination during sleep, which can lead to emotional and psychological issues; the first meta-analysis in Saudi Arabia assessed its prevalence and associated factors.
- The study analyzed data from 16 studies with over 14,000 participants, finding an overall NE prevalence of 24.8%, with higher rates occurring in the southern and eastern regions of Saudi Arabia, and significant social embarrassment reported by affected children.
- The analysis revealed a positive correlation between NE in children and their parents or siblings, with about 54.4% of mothers seeking medical advice for the condition.
