| Abstract |
In recent years, progress has been made on understanding the relationship between vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and urinary tract infection (UTI). The findings on recent prospective, randomized, controlled studies have questioned the conventional VUR clinical significance and, therefore, have challenged the traditional diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations. These new studies have redefined the pathogenic role of vesicoureteral reflux in UTI as well as have disputed the routine use of urinary antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent UTI and renal damage in VUR patients. The time to overinvestigate and treat the vast majority of otherwise healthy children who have an uncomplicated UTI with long-term antibiotic prophylaxis seems to be over. Is there a role of severe VUR in the development of chronic renal disease and renal failure? New ideas are needed to answer these questions with the goal to avoid repeating past mistakes when therapeutic choices were based on expert opinions rather than facts. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 12. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 October 2019.
All research outputs
#2,775,352
of 23,943,619 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Nephrology
#330
of 3,760 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#56,040
of 336,817 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Nephrology
#14
of 97 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,943,619 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 88th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,760 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 336,817 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 97 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
