From January 1980 to January 1992, urodynamic examinations were performed in 339 enuretic children without constipation or anatomical or neurogenic causes of incontinence. Nocturnal enuresis was seen in 178 patients, 130 children suffered from nocturnal and diurnal enuresis, and 31 had only diurnal enuresis. M. detrusor instability was found in 44% of the children and 73% showed more than 15% reduction in functional bladder capacity. In 5% an infravesical obstruction was suspected on pressure-flowmetry and in 12% dysfunctional voiding was seen. Routine urodynamic studies are not indicated in children with enuresis.

Nurses' knowledge of prevention and management of constipation.

Constipation is often a preventable problem in health care; therefore health professionals must have the appropriate knowledge to help patients prevent this common complaint occurring. The purpose of this study was to assess nurses' knowledge of constipation in a teaching hospital in Northern Ireland. A knowledge questionnaire on constipation was obtained and adapted for use in this study using a non-experimental survey design to assess a convenience sample of nurses (n = 131) within various hospital specialities. The results demonstrated gaps in nurses' knowledge of constipation and also indicated that knowledge varied between specialties and between nursing grades. Educational initiatives must not allow bowel care, often labelled 'basic nursing care', to be neglected in postregistration education and training.

Symptoms in 400 patients referred to palliative care services: prevalence and patterns.

The demographics and prevalence of symptoms in patients at first referral to the different components of palliative care services were identified by a retrospective case note study of 400 patients referred to three palliative care centres in London, UK: Michael Sobell House, Mount Vernon Hospital; The North London Hospice; St Bartholomew's and the Royal London Hospitals. One hundred consecutive referrals to each of the following service components were analysed: a hospice inpatient service; a community team; an NHS hospital support team and an outpatient service. A standardized proforma was used to collect the data. Ninety five per cent (380/400) of patients referred had a cancer diagnosis. The five most prevalent symptoms overall were pain (64%), anorexia (34%), constipation (32%), weakness (32%) and dyspnoea (31%), which is similar to other published reports. However, the commonest symptoms and their prevalence varied depending on the service component to which the patient was referred. Patients referred to hospice and community services had the highest symptom burden (mean number of symptoms per patient 7.21 and 7.13, respectively). This study suggests that different patient subgroups may have different needs in terms of symptoms, which will be relevant for the planning and rationalization of palliative care services.
