Enuresis was more common in first-born children.

A strong familial link was observed, with an odds ratio of 11.1 for children whose parents had a history of enuresis.

Earlier age at toilet training was a protective factor, observed more in controls.

Conclusions:

Enuresis is a prevalent issue that parents may underestimate.
Educating parents about enuresis is essential for mitigating its negative effects.
Healthcare professionals should play a role in informing families and addressing enuresis concerns.
