lüll Vesicoureteral reflux: why we can t agree on its management! An evidence based approach Demede D; Mouriquand PArch Esp Urol 2008[Mar]; 61 (2): 160-6Vesicoureteral reflux remains one of the most controversial subjects in paediatric urology. The flooding of publications on reflux makes the understanding of this anomaly and its treatments quite opaque. Evidence Based Medicine might be a helpful tool to clarify the various approaches of reflux reflected in 6.715 publications found on Medline with the key-words "vesicoureteral reflux" and "vesicoureteric reflux". These articles were critically reviewed and graded according to EBM scorings, with regard to their methodological designs. It appears clearly after this review of literature concerning VUR that most of our beliefs are based on low evidence publications and that EBM has not sufficient arguments to establish recommendations for diagnostic and treatment of VUR. It appears yet that antenatal dilatation of the urinary tract and symptomatic UTIs justify looking for VUR. Surgery should be discussed in recurrent UTIs or deterioration of renal function. There is no consensus in the case of persistent asymptomatic VUR, indication and duration of antibioprophylaxis, and choice of radical treatment.|Child[MESH]|Child, Preschool[MESH]|Evidence-Based Medicine[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Infant[MESH]|Infant, Newborn[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Vesico-Ureteral Reflux/complications/*diagnosis/*therapy[MESH] |
