Materials and methods: A questionnaire including demographic features, educational status of parents, DVSS questions, and urinary tract infection (UTI) history was designed. A total of 269 patients were included; Group 1 comprised 161 patients with no voiding symptoms and Group 2 comprised 108 patients with nocturnal enuresis (NE). Children with DVSS of greater than 8.5 were suspected to have dysfunctional voiding. The results were evaluated using SPSS 15.0 with Kruskal-Wallis and multivariate logistic regression tests. Results: The median DVSS was 2 (interquartile range [IQR]: 1-3) in Group 1 and 8 (IQR: 5-12) in Group 2. The percentage of children with DVSS greater than 8.5 was 0.6% in Group 1 and 53.1% in Group 2 (P = 0.01). The percentage of children with UTI history was significantly higher in Group 2 (34.3%) than Group 1 (15.9%) (P = 0.03). An increase in the educational level of the father decreased DVSS by 0.5-fold. Presence of UTI history increased DVSS 2.5-fold. Conclusion: The DVSS is a rapid, easy tool for determining abnormal voiding parameters in children. Children with NE had higher DVSSs, which was significantly affected by the father's educational status and the child's UTI history.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessChildhooddysfunctional voidingdysfunctional voiding symptom scoreenuresisnocturnal enuresisA comparison of dysfunctional voiding scores between patients with nocturnal enuresis and healthy childrenArticle4461091+10.3906/sag-1308-872-s2.0-8490806666025552166Q1213229WOS:000344155900027Q4
