To predict breakthrough UTI, VUR + UTI.

Article DOIhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpurol.2016.03.005
ObjectiveTo predict the probability of breakthrough fUTI in children with primary VUR.
AI Approach2-hidden node neural network
Data Source(s)Single institutional series (384 patients)
Model InputAge, gender, laterality, percentage PBC at VUR onset, VUR grade right/left, VUR onset right/left (filling or voiding), complete ureteral duplication, number of UTIs prior to VUR diagnosis (2 vs. <2), history of fUTI, and history of BBD.
Model OutcomeBreakthrough UTI
Model MetricsAUC 0.76
Model UsabilityWeb-based publicly available model is in production.

AI = Artificial intelligence, UTI = Urinary tract infection, VUR = Vesicoureteral reflux, BBD = Bladder and bowel dysfunction
