Official title
Baylor Continence Scale in Children With Anorectal Malformations: A Turkish Validity and Reliability Study
Overview
The aim of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Baylor Continence Scale in Turkish-speaking children diagnosed with anorectal malformations. The scale is used to assess continence levels, helping healthcare providers make informed decisions regarding treatment and follow-up.
