Daytime urinary incontinence and faecal incontinence frequently occur together in Swedish schoolchildren. Developing integrated treatment plans is crucial for affected children.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Urology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Urinary and faecal incontinence are common issues in childhood.
  • Understanding the co-occurrence of these conditions is vital for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and coexistence of urine and faecal incontinence among Swedish schoolchildren.
  • To identify associations between different types of incontinence in this population.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort study was conducted in Eskilstuna, Sweden, involving first and fourth graders.
  • Parental questionnaires collected data on incontinence prevalence, with a 67% response rate.
  • Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the data.

Main Results:

  • Daytime urinary incontinence affected 6.3% of first graders and 4.3% of fourth graders.
  • Faecal incontinence was reported in 9.8% of first graders and 5.6% of fourth graders.
  • Daytime urinary incontinence showed a strong association with faecal incontinence (OR 7.2) and bedwetting (OR 4.1).

Conclusions:

  • Soiling and daytime urinary incontinence frequently coexist in Swedish schoolchildren.
  • There is a need for collaborative treatment strategies addressing both gastroenterological and urological aspects for affected children.
