We further wanted to identify risk factors for developing a culture-positive UTI following MCUG. A retrospective review of the available medical records of 500 paediatric patients who underwent MCUG in Perth, Western Australia was performed. Seven (1.4%) patients comprised of four females and three males developed a febrile, culture-positive UTI within 14 days following MCUG. Significant association was found for female patients, patients with neurogenic bladder, and patients with previous culture-positive UTI as developing a culture-positive UTI following MCUG. Multivariate logistic regression determined that patients were more likely to develop culture-positive UTI within 14 days following MCUG if they had a known history of UTI (odds ratio: 5.0, 95% confidence interval: 1.5-17.3, p=0.010) or had a neurogenic bladder (odds ratio: 4.2, 95% confidence interval: 1.0-17.9, p=0.049). The incidence of patients who developed a febrile, culture-positive UTI following MCUG was low at 1.4%. Statistically significant and independent associations for the development of culture positive UTI were found in patients with neurogenic bladder and patients with previous culture-positive UTI. Further prospective studies are necessary to determine necessity of prophylactic antibiotics for high-risk patients, e.g., patients with neurogenic bladder or previous culture-positive UTI. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/30794 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.ajur.2021.08.006 | Journal: | Asian Journal of Urology | PubMed URL: | 36035343 | ISSN: | 2214-3882 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Functional urology Micturating cystourethrogram Paediatric urology Voiding cystourethrogram |
