Why the study?
The relationship between PIC vesicoureteral reflux and renal scarring in children with recurrent febrile UTI but no VUR on standard VCUG was unclear.
Observational (n=81)
p-value: p=0.017
PIC cystography identifies occult vesicoureteral reflux that is significantly associated with the severity of renal scarring in children with recurrent febrile UTIs and negative standard VCUG.

Andrew J. Yates (2003) conducted an observational in Recurrent febrile urinary tract infections (UTI) (n=81). PIC-VUR (Positioning irrigation of contrast vesicoureteral reflux) vs. Absence of PIC-VUR (nonrefluxing kidneys) was evaluated on Severity of renal scarring on DMSA scans (p=0.017).
