Voiding pattern abnormalities in normal children: results of pharmacologic manipulation

P Smey, C F Firlit, L R King

    The Journal of Urology
    |November 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Urodynamic studies identified specific voiding patterns in children. Targeted pharmacotherapy effectively resolved symptoms in 95% of children with these bladder control issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Clinical Pharmacology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Voiding pattern abnormalities in children present with diverse symptoms including daytime incontinence, nocturnal enuresis, urinary frequency, and recurrent urinary tract infections.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management of these pediatric lower urinary tract dysfunctions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of urodynamic studies in diagnosing voiding pattern abnormalities in children.
    • To assess the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy guided by urodynamic findings in treating these conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Fifty children with voiding pattern abnormalities underwent comprehensive urodynamic assessments.
    • These assessments included cystometry, uroflowmetry, and pelvic floor/external urethral sphincter electromyography.

  • Thirty-seven children were treated with pharmacological agents tailored to 8 distinct urodynamic patterns.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant majority of children experienced symptom resolution or marked improvement following targeted treatment.
    • Thirty-one children (84%) became completely asymptomatic.
    • Four children (11%) showed substantial clinical improvement.

    Conclusions:

    • Urodynamic studies are instrumental in identifying specific voiding patterns in pediatric patients.
    • Pharmacological treatment, when directed by urodynamic findings, offers an effective therapeutic strategy for children with voiding pattern abnormalities.
    • This approach facilitates successful retraining and management of pediatric lower urinary tract dysfunction.
