Purpose: Post-procedural urinary tract infections (ppUTIs) following voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) vary widely, with rates from 0 to 42%, though recent studies suggest rates typically below 5%. Verifying urine sterility before VCUG is traditionally done but questioned. This study assessed the 7-day ppUTI rate post-VCUG without prior urine sterility confirmation and identified associated risk factors.

Voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) is a fluoroscopic technique that allows the assessment of the urinary tract, including the urethra, bladder, and-if vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is present-the ureters and the pelvicalyceal systems. The technique also allows for the assessment of bladder filling and emptying, providing information on anatomical and functional aspects. VCUG is, together with contrast-enhanced voiding urosonography (VUS), still the gold standard test to diagnose VUR and it is one of the most performed fluoroscopic examinations in pediatric radiology departments.
