Impact of Third-Generation Cephalosporin Resistance on Recurrence in Children with Febrile Urinary Tract Infections.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between third-generation cephalosporin resistance and urinary tract infection (UTI) recurrence in patients who underwent voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG).

Methods

In this retrospective study, data were obtained from hospitalized pediatric patients who had a first febrile UTI episode and subsequently underwent VCUG. Information based on VCUG was mandatory to identify the presence of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). A multivariable logistic model was used to identify the risk factors for recurrence. Recurrence was divided into early (90-day) and late (1-year), and sensitivity analyses were performed according to each definition. The estimates of all the statistical models were internally validated using bootstr
