Twelve studies reported the prevalence of enuresis among children with OSA, with a pooled prevalence of 40% (95% CI: 30%\u201351%). In studies using polysomnography, prevalence was 43% (95% CI: 32%\u201353%). Eight studies assessed the association between OSA and enuresis, showing a significant relationship (OR\u2009=\u20092.30; 95% CI: 1.37\u20133.84), which remained consistent in the polysomnography subgroup (OR\u2009=\u20092.62; 95% CI: 1.53\u20134.48). Enuretic patients had higher AHI (WMD\u2009=\u20093.37; 95% CI: 0.61\u20136.14) and BMI (WMD\u2009=\u20090.90; 95% CI: 0.74\u20131.06), but no significant differences were found in total sleep time or REM sleep.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This systematic review reveals a significant association between OSA and enuresis in children, with a high prevalence of enuresis among those with OSA.
