![]() Similarly, boys with primary nocturnal enuresis ranked lower in verbal intelligence quotient (P = 0.002) and performance intelligence quotient (P = 0.004) compared with their matched normal controls only in lower income district, whereas in the higher income district, boys with primary nocturnal enuresis ranked similar in total intelligence quotient to their matched controls. ![]() Considering each district separately, the total intelligence quotient score was lower in primary nocturnal enuresis cases than controls only in the lower income district (90.7 ± 23.3 vs 104.8 ± 14.7, P = 0.002). Total, as well as performance intelligence quotient and verbal intelligence quotient scores and verbal- performance discrepancy (the difference between verbal and performance intelligence quotient scores for each individual) were compared using a t-test between boys with primary nocturnal enuresis in each district and their matched controls. Intelligence tests were carried out using a validated Iranian translation of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Revised. Two different districts of Tehran: Khani-Abad (a poor district) and Pirouzi (a middle class district) districts were enrolled according to socioeconomic status data reported by the World Health Organization. Boys with a history of any neurological or urological disease were excluded. ![]() A total of 152 school-aged boys (including 55 boys with primary nocturnal enuresis and 97 matched normal controls) were assessed. To explore intelligence quotient in boys with primary nocturnal enuresis compared with normal boys considering their socioeconomic status. Primary nocturnal enuresis is associated with lower intelligence quotient scores in boys from poorer socioeconomic status families.īasiri, Abbas Bahrainian, Seyed Abdolmajid Khoshdel, Alireza Jalaly, Niloofar Golshan, Shabnam Pakmanesh, Hamid ![]()
