Abstract :Objective: The study aimed to examine the results of urinary system ultrasonography, uroflowmetry, and voiding diary for children with daytime urinary incontinence. Materials and Methods: Patients aged 5-17 with daytime urinary incontinence were retrospectively analysed. Urinary system ultrasonography, uroflowmetry, and a two-day voiding diary were recorded. Comorbid diseases and surgeries were determined using a detailed history. Results: Of the 1805 patients included in the study, 1039 (57.6%) were female, 766 (42.4%) were male, and the mean age was 7.9 ± 2.8 years. Abnormal USG findings were detected in 385 (21.3%) patients. The highest bladder capacity detected in the voiding diary was below the expected bladder capacity in 41.2% of the patients; in comparison, the bladder capacity measured in the uroflowmetry was low in 65.4%. Constipation was the most common in the gastrointestinal system diseases group. In previous surgery, adenoidectomy was the most common procedure. Conclusions: We suggest that these patients should be evaluated not only with bladder USG but also with upper urinary system USG. Pathology can also be detected in the upper urinary system. We think that a well-structured voiding diary provides sufficient data regarding bladder volume instead of bladder volume measured by bladder ultrasonography and/or uroflowmetry.
