This study is a multivariate analysis of a cohort of patients with prenatal hydronephrosis that implicates female gender and urological abnormalities in the risk of UTI. Furthermore, the data suggest that even patients with a history of mild PNH are at significant risk for UTI.

This study addresses patients with a history of moderate PNH. The authors show that, overall, the incidence of VUR in this population was 10% at 1 month, but only 3% at 1 year.
