  • Title: What is an acceptable treatment outcome?
    Author: Djurhuus JC, Nørgaard JP, Hjälmås K.
    Journal: Scand J Urol Nephrol Suppl; 1997; 183():75-7. PubMed ID: 9165614.
    Abstract:
    Nocturnal enuresis is a multifactorial condition and, as such, is accessible to a variety of treatment modalities. In order to evaluate and compare the efficacies of different treatments in patients with specific pathophysiologies, studies should describe fully the patient population under investigation. In addition, many of the studies conducted to date have applied different outcome measures, making comparisons difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to define standard outcome measures that should be used universally. These may relate to the effect of the treatment on the number of wet nights per week, the effect on the family economy of a reduction in the number of episodes of enuresis and the effect on the child's self esteem and/or quality of life.
