Lack of Medicaid Coverage of Routine Newborn Circumcision Leads to Increased Operative Circumcisions, Chordee Procedures, and Balanitis.

Objective: To compare proportions of newborn circumcisions, operative circumcisions, chordee procedures, and cases of balanitis in states where Medicaid covers newborn circumcision (covered states) versus states that do not (noncovered states) using the pediatric health information system database.

Methods: A retrospective review of pediatric health information system data was conducted from 2011 to 2020. The proportions and median ages of newborn circumcision current procedural terminology (CPT 54,150, 54,160), operative circumcision (CPT 54,161), chordee (CPT 54,360), and balanitis (ICD-9 607.

The different elements of the Urinary Tract Dilation (UTD) Classification System and their capacity to predict findings on mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) diuretic renography.

Introduction: The UTD Classification System risk stratifies postnatal UTD into three groups: low risk (UTD P1), intermediate risk (UTD P2), and high risk (UTD P3). In the original consensus document, a functional scan is not recommended for UTD P1 and is left to the discretion of the clinician for UTD P2 and P3.

Objective: This study aims to understand which patients with postnatal urinary tract dilation would benefit from a functional study.
