Impact of Clinical Guidelines on Voiding Cystourethrogram Use and Vesicoureteral Reflux Incidence

Abstract

The 2011 AAP guidelines led to a concurrent decrease in voiding cystourethrogram use and incidence of vesicoureteral reflux among children 0 to 2 years old. Further studies are needed to assess the risks and benefits of reducing the diagnosis of vesicoureteral reflux in young children.
