Vesicoureteral Reflux and Urinary Tract Infection

Article DOIhttps://doi.org/10.1159/000127342
ObjectiveTo predict the resolution of VUR
AI ApproachANN
Data Source(s)Institutional series (145 ureteric units)
Model InputAge, sex, the cause and grade
of VUR, the affected ureter, the type of treatment, existence of renal scar on DMSA scan, follow-up times, the number of injection
Model OutcomeVUR Resolution
VUR Improvement
VUR Persistent/Worse
Model MetricsVUR Resolution: accuracy = 98%
VUR Improvement: accuracy = 100%
VUR Persistent/Worse: accuracy = 92%
Model UsabilityNA
AI = Artificial intelligence, AUROC = Area under the receiver operator characteristic, VUR = Vesicoureteral Reflux, VCUG = Voiding cystourethrogram
