目的：为了提出积极治疗其他健康儿童尿失禁的论点，进行了一项生活质量（QoL）研究。主题和方法：自我评定的生活质量问卷，儿童调整和验证，完成了120名神经健康的儿童，年龄6-16岁，尿失禁。另外239名年龄匹配的儿童组成对照组。在所有问题、通用部分（不包括与失禁有关的问题）以及特定关键领域的指数方面，对两组进行了总体和年龄相关亚组（6-8岁、9-12岁、> 12岁）的比较。结果：患者组有一个显着低于对照组的指数，无论是有和没有项目有关的失禁（p < 0.0001）。社会地位，自尊和自信的影响最大，特别是在最年幼的儿童。31名儿童（13%）的对照组报告尿失禁，并没有得分他们的生活质量为好，因为他们的大陆同行，但优于研究patients.Conclusion：从生活质量方面，研究支持积极治疗尿失禁的儿童已经在年轻的年龄。
Aim: To bring forward the arguments for active treatment of urine incontinence in otherwise healthy children, a quality-of-life (QoL) study was performed. Subjects and methods: A self-rating QoL questionnaire, child-adjusted and validated, was completed by 120 neurologically healthy children, aged 6-16 y, with urinary incontinence. Another 239 age-matched children made up a control group. The two groups were compared both totally and in age-related subgroups (6-8, 9-12, > 12 y) concerning the index for all questions, for universal parts (without questions dealing with incontinence) as well as for specific key domains. Results: The patient group had a significantly lower index than the control group both with and without items related to incontinence (p < 0.0001). Social situation, self-esteem and self-confidence were most influenced, particularly in the youngest children. Thirty-one children (13%) of the control group reported incontinence and did not score their QoL as good as their continent peers but better than the study patients.Conclusion: From the quality-of-life aspects, the study supports active treatment of urinary incontinence in children already at younger ages.
