Comparison of Development Indicators, According to Ages and Stages Questionnaires in Children with Pollakiuria Compared to Healthy Children

Abstract

Background: Children with pollakiuria have extraordinary daytime urinary frequency, which means urination every 15 to 20 minutes per day, without nocturnal enuresis, urinary incontinence, dysuria, and UTIs. This can be associated with developmental disorders. Therefore, this study aimed at evaluating the effect of Pollakiuria on developmental disorders. Methods: A total of 224 individuals were included in this study. The age range was 5 to 7 years old and 70 patients with Pollakiuria were allocated to the case group and 154 healthy individuals were included in the control group. Height, weight, and Body Mass Index (BMI) were measured and were compatible with gender and age. The following information was also recorded, personal and social development, problem solving, fine motor, gross motor, communication, defining words, understanding of contradictory words, counting numbers, names of colors, copying forms of □ and Δ, and walking on toes, which were obtained by the ages and stages questionnaires (ASQ) and nelson development table. Results: From a total of 224 children, factor expressing growth and development condition in the case group was significantly less than the control group (P = 0.001). Conclusions: Development indicators, according to ages and stages questionnaires, in healthy children had a better status compared to children with Pollakiuria.
