    Author: Barone JG, Jasutkar N, Schneider D.
    Journal: J Pediatr Urol; 2009 Dec; 5(6):458-61. PubMed ID: 19570720.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine if later toilet training is associated with urge incontinence in children. METHODS: We used a case-control study design to yield level 2 evidence. RESULTS: Initiation of toilet training after 32 months of age was associated with urge incontinence (P=0.02). CONCLUSION: For children who display signs of toilet-training readiness, training should be initiated prior to 32 months of age to reduce the risk for urge incontinence.
