ABSTRACT
The financial cost of bedwetting management is often underestimated. A study including 48 children aged 6 to 16 years was carried out in the outpatient clinic in order to evaluate the cost of these disorders during a 4 month-period. The diagnosis was the following nocturnal enuresis (n = 15), bladder instability (n = 22) and other voiding dysfunction (n = 11). Our results showed that these expenses were quite important. A relationship between the kind of voiding dysfunction and the subsequent expenses was observed the more complex was the disorder, the more expensive it was (average expenses = 1317 FF/year for nocturnal enuresis, 2506 FF/year for bladder instability and 3174 FF/year for other dysfunctions). Subsidiary expenses (transport, diapers and extrawashing) constituted an important part of the whole expenses 46% in nocturnal enuresis, 42% in bladder instability and 38% in other dysfunctions.
