RESUMO

Abstract Objective: To evaluate and correlate, before and after the therapeutic intervention, the behavioral problem scores evaluated by the CBCL/6-18 questionnaire and the quality of life indexes evaluated by the PedsQL™ 4.0 in patients with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis. Method: After the initial evaluation and completion of the CBCL/6-18 questionnaire, a multidisciplinary evaluation and completion of the PedsQL™ 4.0 questionnaire was performed. Of the initially evaluated 140 children and adolescents aged 6-16 years, 58 were excluded due to non-monosymptomatic enuresis or associated comorbidities. Of the initially included 82 patients, who were randomized to three treatment groups, 59 completed the CBCL/6-18 and PedsQL™ 4.0 questionnaires at the end of the treatment and were included in this study. The α error was set at 5% for ruling out the null hypothesis. Results: Of the total of 59 participants, 45.8% responded with total success, 23.7% were partially successful, 23.7% did not reach the improvement criteria, and 6.8% gave up the treatment. There was a significant increase in quality of life indexes and a reduction of post-intervention behavioral problem scores, in the three proposed modalities, in patients who had a total or partial response to treatment. There was no correlation between higher scores of pre-treatment behavior problems and therapeutic failure. Conclusions: Only the participants who successfully responded to interventions showed improvement in quality of life and behavioral problems, which indicates that enuresis is a primary problem that has a negative impact on these parameters. The authors suggest that it is possible to achieve success in the treatment of monosymptomatic enuresis, even in patients with high pre-intervention behavioral problem scores.

Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar e relacionar, pré e pós-intervenção terapêutica, em pacientes com enurese noturna monossintomática, os escores de problemas de comportamento, avaliados pelo questionário CBCL/6-18, e os índices de qualidade de vida, avaliados pelo PedsQL™ 4.0. Método: Após avaliação inicial e preenchimento CBCL6/18, procedeu-se avaliação multidisciplinar e preenchimento do PedsQL™ 4.0. Das 140 crianças e adolescentes de 6 a 16 anos inicialmente avaliados, 58 foram excluídos por enurese não monossintomática ou comorbidades associadas. Dos 82 pacientes inicialmente incluídos e randomizados em três grupos de tratamento, 59 preencheram o CBCL/6-18 e PedsQL™ 4.0 no fim do tratamento e puderam ser incluídos neste trabalho. O erro alfa foi estabelecido em 5% para descarte da hipótese de nulidade. Resultados: Dos 59 participantes 45,8% responderam com sucesso total, 23,7% tiveram sucesso parcial, 23,7% não atingiram critério de melhoria e 6,8% desistiram do tratamento. Verificou-se aumento significativo dos índices de qualidade de vida e redução dos escores de problemas de comportamento pós-intervenção, nas três modalidades propostas, nos pacientes que obtiveram resposta total ou parcial ao tratamento. Não se demonstrou correlação entre maiores escores de problemas de comportamento pré-tratamento e insucesso terapêutico. Conclusões: Apenas os participantes que responderam com sucesso às intervenções melhoraram em sua qualidade de vida e problemas comportamentais, o que indica que a enurese é um problema primário que impacta negativamente esses parâmetros. Sugere-se que é viável obter sucesso no tratamento da enurese monossintomática, mesmo em pacientes com altos escores de problemas de comportamento pré-intervenção.

RESUMO

Introdução: A enurese (EN) é uma condição clínica de etiologia multifatorial com característica de perda de urina intermitente no período noturno que promove uma dificuldade ao convívio social da criança/adolescente e pode ser afetada pela presença de comorbidades e por imaturidade do sistema nervoso na regulação central sobre o funcionamento vesical. O conjunto de eventos promotores do episódio da enurese, desde o enchimento vesical durante o sono até a deflagração do esvaziamento vesical involuntário sem acordar constitui-se no foco principal de abordagem clínico-laboratorial e terapêutica. Objetivo: Estudar o impacto de uma avaliação multidisciplinar do indivíduo com enurese noturna monossintomática (ENM) sobre a eficácia terapêutica dos métodos tradicionalmente utilizados em sua abordagem, assim como comparar, pela polissonografia (PSG), os efeitos da intervenção sobre a estrutura do sono. Método: Estudo prospectivo de crianças de 6 a 17 anos incompletos, com ENM, diagnosticada por avaliação multidisciplinar utilizando anamnese estruturada com enfoque nefropediátrico, exame clínico, diários das eliminações, ultrassonografia de rins e vias urinárias, análises laboratoriais de sangue e urina, exame neurológico, diário do sono, questionários de avaliação do sono e polissonografia, avaliação psicológica de distúrbios do comportamento pelo CBCL e da qualidade de vida pelo PedsQL 4.0 e avaliação fisioterapêutica do equilíbrio. Condições crônicas e genéticas constituíram exclusão do protocolo. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa do HCFMUSP de número 0649/10 e apoio da FAPESP (2011/17589-1). Das 140 crianças/adolescentes ingressantes, foram excluídos 58 (41,4%) por comorbidades não tratáveis e/ou não aderência ao protocolo, 82/140 (58,6%) pacientes com ENM foram incluídos para intervenção terapêutica em três grupos de tratamento (alarme, desmopressina e alarme com desmopressina). A resposta à intervenção terapêutica foi avaliada no...

Introduction: Enuresis (NE) is a clinical condition of multifactorial etiology with intermittent nocturnal urine loss characteristic at night that leads to difficulties in child / adolescent social interaction. It can be affected by comorbidities and by immaturity of the central nervous system in the regulation of bladder function. The range of events of the bedwetting episode, from bladder filling until the involuntary triggering of bladder emptying during sleep, constitutes the main focus for clinical-laboratory and therapeutic approach. Objective: To study the impact of a multidisciplinary assessment of the patient with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE) on the therapeutic efficacy of the interventions traditionally used in its approach, and to compare, by polysomnography (PSG), the effects of intervention on sleep structure. Method: Prospective study of children, of 6 to 17 incomplete years, with MNE diagnosed by multidisciplinary assessment, based on: pediatric nephrology - oriented structured history, clinical examination, kidney and urinary tract ultrasound, laboratory tests of blood and urine and daily bladder and intestinal elimination diaries; neurological examination, sleep diary and sleep questionnaires and PSG; psychology evaluation using CBCL and PedsQL 4.0 questionnaires; physiotherapic evaluation of balance. The study was approved by the HCFMUSP Ethics Committee in Research of number 0649/10 and was supported by Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) Grant # 2011/17589-1. Of the 140 children/adolescents entering the study, 58 (41.4%) were excluded because of non - treatable comorbidities and / or nonadherence to study protocol, 82/140 (58.6%) patients with MNE were included for therapeutic intervention in three treatment groups (alarm, desmopressin and alarm with desmopressin). The response to therapeutic intervention was evaluated in the immediate and late post-intervention period, respectively...
