Study summary

It has previously been found that there is no correlation between degree of hydronephrosis and presence of reflux; however this is oftentimes the criteria physicians use to obtain a VCUG.

Read the detailed description

Investigators conducted a previous retrospective study to evaluate other possible findings on ultrasound that may better predict reflux. Investigators found that if a postnatal ultrasound showed any of the three findings of hydroureter, duplication or dysmorphic kidney, then the odds ratio of detecting reflux was 8.07 (95%CI 3.86, 16.87). The purpose of this study is to perform a randomized prospective study to validate this retrospective study. Investigators hypothesis is that patients with hydronephrosis alone will be more likely to have negative VCUG studies; hence obtaining a VCUG for this indication may not be warranted.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 30, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
