Objective: This study was aimed to investigate the obstructivesleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in patients withenuresis the relationship between polysomnographic parameters.Methods: A total of 67 OSAS patients included. Datataken knowledge were recorded standard form that allpatients with night polysomnographic recordings parametersand the presence of enuresis.Results: The mean age of patients was 45.0 ± 11.7 years.54% of the patients were male and 46% female. Themean apnea-hypopnea index of the patients was 13.07events/h. Frequency of enuresis was found 19%, nocturiafrequency was found to be 55%. Arousal index, periodicleg movement index and oxygen desaturation index werefound different (p<0.05) between enuresis group and nonenuresisgroup.Conclusion: In our study was found to be associated thefrequency of nocturia and enuresis severity of oxygen desaturationin OSAS patients.
