摘要

? 2022 The Author(s)Background and aim: Two central problems with the enuresis alarm are the family workload and the lack of predictors of therapy response. We wanted to look at predictors of alarm response in a setting reflecting clinical reality. Methods: An alarm linked to a smartphone app was provided to enuretic children managed at pediatric outpatient wards. Baseline data (sex, age, daytime incontinence, urgency, previous therapies, arousal thresholds and baseline enuresis frequency) were recorded. Further information, such as enuretic episodes and actual alarm use, was gathered via the app during therapy. Therapy was given for 8–12 weeks or until 14 consecutive dry nights had been achieved. Results: For the 196 recruited children the outcome was as follows: full responders (FR) 18.4%, partial responders (PR) 20.4%, nonresponders (NR) 22.4% and dropouts 38.8%. We found no clear predictors of response or adherence among baseline data. But as treatment progressed responders reduced their enuresis frequency as compared to NR (week two P = 0.003, week three and onwards P < 0.001). This is further illustrated in the Figure below. Furthermore, the children unable to complete the full treatment had more non-registered nights already from the second week (week two P = 0.005, week three P = 0.002 and so on). Discussion: Anamnestic data give little predictive information regarding enuresis alarm response or adherence. Contrary to common belief neither daytime incontinence nor previous alarm attempts influenced treatment success. But after 2–4 weeks of therapy the children with a good chance of treatment success could be discerned by decreasing enuresis frequency, and the families that would not be able to comply with the full treatment showed incomplete adherence already during the first weeks. Conclusions: Maybe the enuresis alarm strategy should be changed so that the treatment is reassessed after one month and only children with a high chance of success continue. This way, unnecessary frustration for the families of therapy-resistant children may be reduced.[Formula presented]
