Abstract

Background: Voiding dysfunction in various children is one of the common pediatric urological conditions characterized by abnormal urination patterns, which often leads to significant psychosocial and medical consequences.Objective: This study examines the correlation among scientific signs and urodynamic findings in children diagnosed with voiding dysfunction.
Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out concerning 120 children aged four to 12 years. Clinical signs were assessed using standardized questionnaires and bladder diaries. Urodynamic research has been conducted and outcomes have been statistically analyzed for correlation.
Results: Significant correlations have been determined among daytime incontinence and detrusor overactivity (p < 0.01), in addition to between post-void residual urine and  detrusor contractility (p < 0.05). Nocturnal enuresis showed poor correlation with urodynamic findings.
Conclusion: While certain clinical symptoms, such as daytime incontinence and urgency closely correlate with specific urodynamic findings, others like nocturnal enuresis do not. Urodynamic testing remains essential in confirming diagnosis and guiding treatment in pediatric voiding dysfunction
