Recent studies have demonstrated trends of decreasing voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) utilization rates and delayed vesico-ureteral reflux (VUR) diagnosis in some children. It is possible that such delays could lead to more children sustaining repeated episodes of febrile urinary tract infection (UTI), and potential kidney injury, prior to diagnosis and treatment. Using single institutional, cross-sectional cohorts of patients in two time periods (2005 and 2015), we compared clinical presentation and renal outcomes among patients 13 years and younger with history of febrile UTI presenting for initial VCUG. Outcomes included 1) recurrent UTI 2) presence of VUR 3) grade of VUR, and 4) renal scarring. Associations between year of presentation and outcomes of recurrent UTI and VUR diagnosis were evaluated using multi-variable logistic regression models. For the outcome of renal scarring, a logistic regression model was fitted for propensity score matched cohorts. Compared to children presenting in 2005, those in 2015 had 3 times the odds of recurrent UTI (OR=3.01; [95% CI: 2.18,4.16]; p<0.0001). Time period was not associated with the odds of VUR (OR=0.98; [95% CI: 0.77,1.23]; p=0.85). Those in 2015 were more likely to present with VUR grade >3 (OR=2.22; [95% CI: 1.13,4.34], p=0.02) but not VUR grade>2 (OR=1.11; [95% CI: 0.74,1.67], p=0.60). Renal scarring was more common among children presenting in 2015 (OR=2.9; [95% CI: 1.03,8.20]; p=0.04). Compared to 2005, children presenting in 2015 for post-UTI VCUG have increased likelihood of recurrent UTI and renal scarring, despite similar likelihood of VUR diagnosis.
