The RIVUR (Randomized Intervention for Children with Vesicoureteral Reflux) trial showed a 50% decrease in the risk of urinary tract infection recurrence in children with reflux receiving continuous antibiotic prophylaxis. We reanalyzed the RIVUR data with the purpose of using a risk classification system to identify children who are more likely to benefit from continuous antibiotic prophylaxis.
