Evaluation of timing of voiding cystourethrogram after urinary tract infection
2001
This study reviewed 213 children diagnosed with UTI between March 1997 and December 2000. The children were divided into two groups: 1.) scheduled VCUG within 1 week of UTI and 2.) scheduled VCUG after 1 week of UTI.
“We analyzed patients’ records to evaluate whether the timing of VCUG after UTI influenced the prevalence or severity of VUR.”
“Reflux was present in 19% of patients studied within 1 week after UTI and 18% of those studied after 1 week. The difference was not statistically significant.”
