08 Jul Renal scarring is the most significant predictor of breakthrough febrile urinary tract infection in patients with simplex and duplex primary vesico-ureteral reflux

Multiple factors have been shown to be significant predictors of radiological VUR resolution, including VUR grade, VUR timing, female gender, anatomical abnormalities, VURx and scarring on DMSA. Univariate analysis of these factors in our prospective study suggests that only scarring on DMSA and VURx are significant predictors of symptomatic non-resolution. On multivariate analysis, scarring on DMSA was the only significant predictive variable. This information will be useful in targeting investigation and treatment in susceptible patients and when counseling families.
