title: Nocturnal Enuresis among Nigerian Children and its Association with Sleep, Behavior and School Performance.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the association of nocturnal enuresis with sleep, behavior and school performance.
  
  
  METHODS
  Hospital-based, cross-sectional descriptive study of 216 children (?6-year-old) using structured questionnaire and behavioral tools.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two hospitals at Lucknow in Northern India.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Prevalence of enuresis was 37.0%. Nocturnal enuresis was significantly associated with abnormal behaviour (P=0.049) and poor sleep hygiene (P%0.05). School performance was not associated with enuresis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Children with nocturnal enuresis were at an increased risk of behavioral problems and poor sleep hygiene.
